📖 SQL execution order

A SQL query executes its statements in the following order:

1) FROM / JOIN
2) WHERE
3) GROUP BY
4) HAVING
5) SELECT
6) DISTINCT
7) ORDER BY
8) LIMIT / OFFSET

The techniques you implement at each step help speed up the following steps. This is why it’s important to know their execution order. To maximize efficiency, focus on optimizing the steps earlier in the query.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some optimization tips:

1) Maximize the WHERE clause

This clause is executed early, so it’s a good opportunity to reduce the size of your data set before the rest of the query is processed.

2) Filter your rows before a JOIN

Although the FROM/JOIN occurs first, you can still limit the rows. To limit the number of rows you are joining, use a subquery in the FROM statement instead of a table.

3) Use WHERE over HAVING

The HAVING clause is executed after WHERE & GROUP BY. This means you’re better off moving any appropriate conditions to the WHERE clause when you can.

4) Don’t confuse LIMIT, OFFSET, and DISTINCT for optimization techniques

It’s easy to assume that these would boost performance by minimizing the data set, but this isn’t the case. Because they occur at the end of the query, they make little to no impact on its performance.

Here are five of the most commonly used SQL queries in data science:

1. SELECT and FROM Clauses
- Basic data retrieval: SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name;

2. WHERE Clause
- Filtering data: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE condition;

3. GROUP BY and Aggregate Functions
- Summarizing data: SELECT column1, COUNT(*), AVG(column2) FROM table_name GROUP BY column1;

4. JOIN Operations
- Combining data from multiple tables:

     SELECT a.column1, b.column2
FROM table1 a
JOIN table2 b ON a.common_column = b.common_column;

5. Subqueries and Nested Queries
- Advanced data retrieval:

     SELECT column1
FROM table_name
WHERE column2 IN (SELECT column2 FROM another_table WHERE condition);
