## Description

Modern SQL is an educational website dedicated to explaining how SQL has evolved beyond the relational model and helping developers understand which features are available across different database systems. Created by SQL author and consultant Markus Winand, the site explores modern SQL standards, concepts, features, and practical use cases. Its resources include articles on topics such as common table expressions, the EXTRACT expression, pivoting, and query design, alongside comparisons showing how products including PostgreSQL, Oracle, Db2, MySQL, DuckDB, and SQL Server support specific SQL features. Visitors can also explore SQL standards, conformance levels, and evolving capabilities through reference materials and feature guides. For ongoing learning, Modern SQL offers updates through email newsletters, RSS, and social media. The site also connects users with Markus Winand’s professional services: he provides SQL training, consulting, and speaking engagements for developers and companies. Related offerings include his book on SQL tuning, available as a paperback and PDF. Together, these resources help readers learn modern SQL and apply it across database platforms.
