I'm looking for a web-based service where visitors can execute SQL statements on a database, without having to set up or populate the database. Something suitable for beginners.

While I was learning SQL, I had saved a small list of usable bookmarks of good sites from which you can execute SQL queries and I'm still keeping this list. Let me share it with you: |

You can get an account on apex.oracle.com and run SQL statements there. You can upload CSV files into tables, then query them through the SQL Workshop. You also get to build Application Express web-apps over the tables if you want. |

A XAMPP installation is probably the easiest self hosted solution. It is a portable mysql-php-apache on windows application that lets you query a mysql database locally. Because it is portable app, it doesn't require admin rights on your workstation to set up. Really only a self hosted solution will allow you to practice the non -INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands, like backup, create db, etc. |

Not a web app, but SQLiteman is a GUI interface to the SQLite database engine. You can create database files locally and query them through the application.
