SQL Books is now Boxly

On 18 August 2026 SQL Books took a new name and a new address: one browser tab with a MySQL database of your own, PHP and Python sandboxes, web projects, an assistant that reads your schema, and classes for teachers.

SQL Books struck through, an arrow, the Boxly mark and name, and the line “Same account. Same work.”
From the Day One keynote film, 19 October 2026.

SQL Books became Boxly on 18 August 2026. The site moved to boxly.codenav.dev; sql.codenav.dev redirects there, so old bookmarks and classroom links keep working. Accounts, databases, files, courses, classes and billing were unchanged, and nobody had to sign up again. A passkey registered at the old address has to be added once more at the new one.

Why the name changed

The product had outgrown the old one. It was no longer SQL and a set of courses: it had become a workspace with an isolated MySQL database for each person, PHP and Python sandboxes, web projects, an AI assistant and a layer for classes. Boxly is the box you build in, and the 3 × 3 block mark is a grid still being assembled.

What Boxly is

Everything runs in a browser tab, with nothing to install, no administrator rights and no card:

  • A MySQL database of your own, with a real editor, snapshots and an ER diagram drawn from your tables. A desktop client can connect to it too.
  • PHP and Python, sandboxed, reading the same database; web projects in HTML, CSS and JavaScript with a preview link to share.
  • An assistant that reads your actual schema. It can list your databases, describe their structure, run queries and execute code; anything that would change your data stops and puts the exact SQL in front of you first.
  • For a class: classes, assignments, automatic grading against expected output, and since 30 August a teacher can hand a whole code project to every student at once.

Plans, as the pricing page lists them: Free to start, with three databases; Basic at US$8.99 a month with US$5 of AI usage included; Pro and Ultra above it; and Education, free for the first month, for a school running assignments at scale. Since Day One, a plan can be paid for from the Wallet in a CodeNav account.

Boxly is on the home page of this site beside Order Filled, and on the products page.
