Introduction to SQL and Database Administration

More than a record.
A statement about education.

Prof. Matheus Boesing will teach Introduction to SQL and Database Administration for more than 80 consecutive hours — live, in a hybrid format, with both in-person and online participation, in a small city in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul. Guinness World Records has already accepted the challenge. The attempt will take place from September 4 to 7, 2026, with a live broadcast to the world.
