Every SQL playground on the internet wants your email. PondPilot doesn’t. Open the app, write SQL, get results.
Just SQL, No Forms
app.pondpilot.io loads instantly and you’re in a SQL editor. No registration wall, no “start your free trial” modal, no OAuth flow. The app runs entirely in your browser using DuckDB compiled to WebAssembly.
Bring Your Own Data
Most SQL playgrounds give you a toy dataset and call it a day. PondPilot lets you open your actual files — CSV, Parquet, JSON, or DuckDB databases — and query them with real SQL. Practice on data that matters to you.
Full DuckDB SQL
This isn’t a dumbed-down SQL subset. You get the full power of DuckDB’s SQL dialect:
- Window functions (
ROW_NUMBER,LAG,LEAD,NTILE) - CTEs and recursive queries
PIVOT/UNPIVOT- List and struct types
- Regular expressions and string functions
WITH ranked AS (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY category ORDER BY revenue DESC) as rn
FROM sales.csv
)
SELECT * FROM ranked WHERE rn <= 3;
Great for Learning
If you’re studying SQL, PondPilot is a solid practice environment. Load a dataset, experiment with queries, and see results instantly. The syntax highlighting and autocomplete help you learn the language as you go.
Embeddable Too
Teaching SQL on your blog or in documentation? PondPilot Widget lets you embed interactive SQL snippets that readers can edit and run. No backend needed on your end either.
Works Offline
Install PondPilot as a PWA and practice SQL on a plane, in a café, or anywhere without internet. Your queries and data stay local.
