SQLDOU

SQL Query Execution Visualizer

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

See how databases really work. Watch full scans, B-Tree indexes, JOINs and more come alive with animation. v3.0 adds Custom Quiz Mode: build your own tables and SQL. SQLDOU is an educational app that visualizes SQL query execution plans with step by step animation. The third entry in the DOU series, following PAKEDOU (networking) and KURAUDOU (cloud). This time the theme is SQL. Enter a query and watch the execution plan generate automatically, then follow each row as it flows through filtering, sorting, joining and finally arrives at the result. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN • Full Scan vs Index Why scanning every row (full scan) is slow. See how much faster a B Tree index makes searches. Run the same SQL with both scan methods and compare speed in real time. • B Tree Index O(log n) Supports range queries such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal, less than or equal and equality. Watch the tree structure locate target rows efficiently through animation. • Hash Index O(1) Pro A high speed index specialized for equality searches. Experience the real execution time difference between Hash and B Tree. • WHERE and DISTINCT See each row pass or get skipped by the WHERE condition in real time with PASS or SKIP badges. Observe DISTINCT removing duplicates step by step. • JOIN Pro Visualize how rows from two tables are combined. See the batch process that waits for both sides before executing the join. • GROUP BY and ORDER BY Pro Watch aggregation such as COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX and MIN and sorting such as ASC and DESC animate their internal processing. Observe how they buffer all rows before producing output. • Custom Quiz Mode v3.0 Pro Define your own table name, columns and rows, write any SQL you want, and save the quiz. Replay or edit later. Go beyond textbook examples and reproduce real world scenarios you care about. 20 MISSIONS Progress through 20 missions across 6 levels. • Level 1 SELECT and WHERE 5 missions SQL fundamentals • Level 2 Scan Methods 4 missions Full scan vs index speed comparison • Level 3 ORDER BY and DISTINCT 3 missions Pro • Level 4 GROUP BY 3 missions Pro • Level 5 JOIN 2 missions Pro • Level 6 Final Challenge 3 missions Index optimization Pro Each mission includes a prediction quiz.
