About this course

Are you ready to truly understand procedural SQL by building something meaningful?In this hands-on course, you’ll master PL/pgSQL—the procedural language of PostgreSQL—by building a complete chess game from the ground up. From basic move validation to advanced game mechanics like resurrection and RUA (Check) detection, you’ll learn how to turn SQL into a powerful backend logic engine.This is not just another tutorial about syntax. Instead, you’ll go deep into how procedural SQL works by applying it in a real-world scenario. You'll also learn how to integrate Python with PostgreSQL to control gameplay, handle moves, and manage game flow in a clean and interactive way.What you’ll build:A chess board using PostgreSQL arraysCustom piece movement functions (pawn, bishop, rook, knight, queen, king)Validation logic for legal movesEnemy king detection and RUA (check) logicResurrection mechanics using stored proceduresA fully playable game loop in Python with dynamic promptsTechnologies and Tools used:PostgreSQL (PL/pgSQL)Python DBeaverVSCodeBy the end of the course, you’ll not only be proficient in PL/pgSQL but also able to apply procedural programming logic to any database-driven application. Whether you're a developer, data engineer, or database enthusiast—this course will sharpen your backend logic skills through a fun and intellectually rewarding project.
