Episode II of SELECT * FROM LIFE;

One thing about me: I absolutely love making art. 🎨

(You can probably tell from the slightly unnecessary number of sketch pens I own. 😅)

Whenever I'm about to draw, I instinctively organize them—first by color, then by shade. It makes finding the exact pen so much easier, and I can spend more time creating instead of searching.

And somewhere in the middle of doing that today, my data brain interrupted:

"Wait... that's basically ORDER BY." 😂

So this became Episode II of my SELECT * FROM LIFE; series.

The idea behind this series is simple: taking everyday moments and turning them into SQL doodles. I'm hoping it makes SQL feel a little less intimidating—and a little more fun.

This is also a little different from the doodles I've shared before. Most of my older ones featured cats 🐱, but I've been experimenting with different styles.

Would love to hear what you think! Feedback, suggestions, or ideas for future SQL concepts are always welcome. 😊

I Tried Teaching SQL with Cat Doodles 😸 (Would Love Your Feedback!)

I recently tried a fun little experiment to make SQL feel a bit more approachable—using hand-drawn cat doodles to explain SQL concepts. 😸
So far I've made two lessons:

Lesson 1: SELECT and FROM
PAWQL = SQL for Cat People Lesson #1
Lesson 2: WHERE
PAWQL = SQL for Cat People Lesson #2

The idea is to explain SQL visually, with simple doodles instead of walls of text. I'm still experimenting with the format, so I'd genuinely love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what could be improved.

Thanks for taking a look, and I appreciate any feedback! 😊

PAWQL #2: WHERE

I’m trying something fun to make SQL feel a little more friendly (especially for fellow cat lovers 😸). This doodle explains WHERE (I’ve already explained SELECT and FROM in one of my previous doodles!) — and I’d really appreciate any feedback. Thanks for taking a look! :)
