Day 18: Preparing for SQL Interviews

Guys, let’s shift gears and focus on SQL interview prep. Knowing how to tackle interview questions can set you apart!

Here’s a quick breakdown of common SQL interview topics:

1️⃣ Basic Queries: Write SELECT, WHERE, and GROUP BY queries.
Example:

SELECT department, AVG(salary) AS avg_salary
FROM Employees
GROUP BY department;

2️⃣ Joins: Understand INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL, and SELF JOIN.
Example:

SELECT Orders.order_id, Customers.customer_name
FROM Orders
INNER JOIN Customers
ON Orders.customer_id = Customers.customer_id;

3️⃣ Complex Scenarios: Use CTEs, Window Functions, and Subqueries.

4️⃣ Problem Solving: Be ready to debug and optimize inefficient queries.

Mini Challenge:
What’s one SQL question you’ve faced or are curious about? Share it below, and I’ll help you crack it!

Tomorrow, we’ll go over a list of must-know SQL functions. Stay tuned!

Day 19: Must-Know SQL Functions

Guys, today we’re diving into some essential SQL functions that can make your queries powerful and efficient!

1️⃣ Aggregate Functions:

SUM(): Adds up values.

AVG(): Finds the average.

COUNT(): Counts rows.

MIN() / MAX(): Gets the smallest or largest value.


Example:

SELECT department, COUNT(*) AS num_employees, AVG(salary) AS avg_salary
FROM Employees
GROUP BY department;

2️⃣ String Functions:

CONCAT(): Combines strings.

SUBSTRING(): Extracts part of a string.

UPPER() / LOWER(): Changes case.


Example:

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name) AS full_name
FROM Employees;

3️⃣ Date Functions:

NOW(): Returns the current date and time.

DATEDIFF(): Calculates the difference between dates.

YEAR() / MONTH(): Extracts year/month from a date.


Example:

SELECT name, DATEDIFF(NOW(), hire_date) AS days_employed
FROM Employees;

Mini Challenge:
Try writing a query that uses both an aggregate and a date function. Share your query below!

Tomorrow, we’ll cover SQL best practices to write clean and maintainable code. Don’t miss it!

Day 20: SQL Best Practices for Clean Code

Guys, let’s wrap up our journey with some SQL best practices to keep your code clean, efficient, and easy to maintain!

1️⃣ Use Denoscriptive Naming:

Name your tables, columns, and variables clearly.

Example: Instead of tbl1, use SalesData.


2️⃣ Comment Your Code:

Use comments to explain complex logic.

Example:


-- Selecting the top 5 highest-paid employees
SELECT name, salary
FROM Employees
ORDER BY salary DESC
LIMIT 5;

3️⃣ Avoid SELECT *:

Specify only the columns you need to improve performance and clarity.


4️⃣ Use Aliases Wisely:

Shorten long table or column names with aliases for better readability.

Example:


SELECT e.name, d.department_name
FROM Employees e
JOIN Departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id;

5️⃣ Consistent Formatting:

Indent your code to make it easier to read.


6️⃣ Optimize Joins:

Be mindful of the type of join and how it impacts performance.


Mini Challenge:
Revise one of your older SQL queries to apply these best practices. Share the improved version below!

That wraps up our SQL series! I hope this helped you level up your skills. What would you like to learn next?

1️⃣ E-commerce Sales Dashboard:

Create a dashboard that tracks total sales, top-selling products, customer demographics, and trends over time.

Use SQL queries to aggregate data from different tables and create reports.


2️⃣ Employee Management System:

Build an HR database with employee details, salaries, departments, and performance metrics.

Write queries to identify top performers, calculate average salaries, and monitor department headcounts.


3️⃣ Sales and Marketing Analytics:

Create a project that analyzes the effectiveness of marketing campaigns by comparing conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, and ROI.


4️⃣ Customer Segmentation Tool:

Design a project that segments customers based on their purchase history, location, and demographics.

Use SQL to write complex queries with CASE statements and GROUP BY for insightful segments.


5️⃣ Hospital Management Database:

Build a database with patient records, doctor assignments, treatment history, and appointment scheduling.

Create queries to find the most booked doctors, calculate average wait times, and analyze patient demographics.


Mini Challenge:

Pick one of the projects above or come up with your own idea. Start by sketching out the main tables and their relationships. Share your project plan below!

While certificates have its own place to prove your skills, completing a course just for the sake of certificate is not going to help you at all. So whatever courses you take up, please make sure that you learn, practice and acquire that skill.
