Adding SQL quiz questions

developerquiz.org currently has over 600 quiz questions. We are looking to expand on the SQL questions and we encourage other developers to add their quiz questions to the site.

You can find the complete list of questions below. https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/Developer_Quiz_Site/blob/main/src/data/sql-quiz.ts

You can add your own questions to the top of that file. Please first check to make sure your question doesn’t already exist in the file before creating a PR.

Here is an example format for the questions.

  {
    Question:
      "Which of the following relational database management systems (RDBMS) should never be used to store data in a production app?",
    Answer: "Microsoft Access",
    Distractor1: "Microsoft SQL Server",
    Distractor2: "MongoDB",
    Distractor3: "PostgreSQL",
    Explanation:
      "Microsoft Access does not offer as much security, availability, and stability as SQL Server.",
    Link: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Access",
  },

For the link field, please make sure to use a freeCodeCamp article, freeCodeCamp YouTube video or official documentation. If you choose to reference a video, please make sure to include the timestamp for the topic covered.

You can read more about how to create timestamps in this helpful article.

This issue will not be assigned to anyone and will remain open for multiple contributors. Please do not assign yourself to this issue or close it.

Happy contributing!

Hi @erictleung !

Even though these are respected tech blogs, we do also have to remember that we are competing with them in terms of google search rankings. The goal is to have our projects promote our publication articles, youtube videos or official documentation over competing publications. There is nothing wrong with those tech sites, but we also don’t want to be providing them with more traffic to their sites.

So that’s why we limit the scope of these questions to just our material or official docs. 👍
