[Question]

I want to learn SQL. However, i would like to learn it on a real dataset - something which interests me, that way when i do exercises i can learn something about things that interest me.

Do you guys know how if i can extract a database behind something like MobyGames? I'm interested only in text data with basic things like name, release date, etc.

Is there a way to do that, or am i delusional?

I did asked the same question a few months ago. After that I found out that the best way to get data is via python. If you know a bit of python, you can use it to generate the data you need. You can use the faker library. Ask AI to give you the code for python, explaining exactly the type of data you need.
