Here comes one of the cleanest and most powerful features in SQL: 🧠 Common Table Expressions (CTEs) A CTE (Common Table Expression) is a temporary result set that you can reference within a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. It makes your queries…
🔄 Window Functions (ROW_NUMBER, RANK, PARTITION BY)
Window functions perform calculations across rows related to the current row — but unlike GROUP BY, they don’t collapse your data!
They are super useful for running totals, rankings, and finding duplicates.
1. ROW_NUMBER()
Gives a unique number to each row within a partition of a result set.
SELECT name, department, salary,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) AS row_num
FROM employees;
Ranks employees by salary within each department.
2. RANK() vs DENSE_RANK()
RANK() leaves gaps after ties.
DENSE_RANK() doesn’t.
SELECT name, salary,
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rank,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) AS dense_rank
FROM employees;
3. PARTITION BY
It’s like a GROUP BY, but for window functions.
SELECT department, name, salary,
AVG(salary) OVER (PARTITION BY department) AS dept_avg_salary
FROM employees;
This shows each employee's salary alongside the average salary of their department — without collapsing the rows.
Other Useful Window Functions:
NTILE(n) – Divides rows into n buckets
LAG() / LEAD() – Look at previous/next row’s value
SUM() / AVG() over a window – for running totals

Let’s now cover a hands-on and frequently used part of SQL:
⚙️ Data Manipulation (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands are used to add, modify, or remove data from your tables.
1. INSERT – Add new records to a table.
INSERT INTO employees (name, department, salary)
VALUES ('John Doe', 'HR', 60000);
Multiple rows:
INSERT INTO employees (name, department, salary)
VALUES
('Alice', 'IT', 70000),
('Bob', 'Finance', 65000);
2. UPDATE – Modify existing records.
UPDATE employees
SET salary = 75000
WHERE name = 'John Doe';
With multiple fields:
UPDATE employees
SET salary = 80000, department = 'IT'
WHERE id = 101;
Always use WHERE in UPDATE to avoid accidental mass updates.
3. DELETE – Remove records from a table.
DELETE FROM employees
WHERE department = 'Temporary';
Again, make sure to use WHERE — or you’ll delete all rows!
Pro Tips:
- Test your WHERE clause with a SELECT first.
- Use BEGIN TRANSACTION and ROLLBACK if supported — for safety.

Let’s move on to the backbone of any SQL database:
🧱 Data Definition (CREATE, ALTER, DROP)
Data Definition Language (DDL) is used to define and manage database structures like tables, columns, and schemas.
1. CREATE – Used to create new tables, databases, or other objects.
CREATE TABLE employees (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
department VARCHAR(50),
salary DECIMAL(10, 2)
);
You can also create other things like databases, indexes, or views:
CREATE DATABASE company_db;
2. ALTER – Modify an existing table’s structure.
Add a column:
ALTER TABLE employees
ADD date_of_joining DATE;
Modify column data type:
ALTER TABLE employees
ALTER COLUMN salary TYPE FLOAT;
Drop a column:
ALTER TABLE employees
DROP COLUMN date_of_joining;
3. DROP – Permanently delete a table, view, or database.
DROP TABLE employees;
Caution: This deletes everything — structure and data. Use with care!
Bonus: TRUNCATE
TRUNCATE TABLE employees;
Deletes all data from the table but keeps the structure intact. It's faster than DELETE but not recoverable.

🔐 Constraints & Relationships (PK, FK, UNIQUE, CHECK)
Constraints are rules applied to columns to ensure valid and consistent data in your tables.
1. PRIMARY KEY (PK)
Uniquely identifies each row in a table.
Only one per table
Cannot be NULL
Often applied to an id column
CREATE TABLE employees (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100)
);
2. FOREIGN KEY (FK)
Establishes a relationship between tables.
It links a column to the PRIMARY KEY of another table.
CREATE TABLE departments (
dept_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
dept_name VARCHAR(50)
);
CREATE TABLE employees (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
dept_id INT,
FOREIGN KEY (dept_id) REFERENCES departments(dept_id)
);
Now, employees.dept_id must match a valid departments.dept_id.
3. UNIQUE
Ensures that all values in a column are different (can have one NULL if not restricted).
CREATE TABLE users (
user_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE
);
4. CHECK
Ensures a condition is true for data being inserted or updated.
CREATE TABLE products (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
price DECIMAL(10, 2),
CHECK (price > 0)
);
5. NOT NULL
Prevents NULL values in a column.
CREATE TABLE orders (
order_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
product_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
);
Using constraints helps keep your data clean, accurate, and relational.

You have a users table where each user must have a unique email address, and emails cannot be NULL.
Which constraint(s) should you apply to the email column?
Which constraint(s) should you apply to the email column?
Most of you responded with first option PRIMARY KEY
Yes, a PRIMARY KEY does enforce: Uniqueness & NOT NULL
So technically, it's correct — making email a primary key will satisfy the condition that emails must be unique & not null
But... here’s the catch:
In real-world database design, email is rarely used as a primary key, because:
- It can change (users may update emails).
- It’s not an ideal unique identifier like a user_id (which is usually an auto-incrementing integer).
Using email as PK can make foreign key relationships messy and inefficient, so we'll have to explicitly use UNIQUE & NOT NULL constraints
Hope it clear most of the doubts :)

🧪 Real-world SQL Scenarios & Challenges
Let’s dive into the types of real-world problems you’ll encounter as a data analyst, data scientist , data engineer, or developer.
1. Finding Duplicates
SELECT name, COUNT(*)
FROM employees
GROUP BY name
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
Perfect for data cleaning and validation tasks.
2. Get the Second Highest Salary
SELECT MAX(salary) AS second_highest
FROM employees
WHERE salary < (
SELECT MAX(salary)
FROM employees
);
3. Running Totals
SELECT name, salary,
SUM(salary) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS running_total
FROM employees;
Essential in dashboards and financial reports.
4. Customers with No Orders
SELECT c.customer_id, c.name
FROM customers c
LEFT JOIN orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
WHERE o.order_id IS NULL;
Very common in e-commerce or CRM platforms.
5. Monthly Aggregates
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date) AS month,
COUNT(*) AS total_orders
FROM orders
GROUP BY month
ORDER BY month;
Great for trends and time-based reporting.
6. Pivot-like Output (Using CASE)
SELECT
department,
COUNT(CASE WHEN gender = 'Male' THEN 1 END) AS male_count,
COUNT(CASE WHEN gender = 'Female' THEN 1 END) AS female_count
FROM employees
GROUP BY department;
Super useful for dashboards and insights.
7. Recursive Queries (Org Hierarchy or Tree)
WITH RECURSIVE employee_tree AS (
SELECT id, name, manager_id
FROM employees
WHERE manager_id IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT e.id, e.name, e.manager_id
FROM employees e
INNER JOIN employee_tree et ON e.manager_id = et.id
)
SELECT * FROM employee_tree;
Used in advanced data modeling and tree structures.

Let's start with the first Python Concept today
1. Data Types & Data Structures
Before you analyze anything, you need to organize and store your data properly. Python offers four main data structures that every data analyst must master.
Lists ([])
A list is an ordered collection of items that can be changed (mutable).
Example:
scores = [85, 90, 78, 92]
print(scores[0]) # Output: 85
Use lists to store rows of data, filtered results, or time-series points.
Tuples (())
Tuples are like lists but immutable — once created, they can't be modified.
Example :
coords = (12.97, 77.59)
Use them when data should not change, like a fixed location or record.
Dictionaries ({})
Dictionaries store data in key-value pairs. They’re extremely useful when dealing with structured data.
Example:
person = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}
print(person['name']) # Output: Alice
Use dictionaries for JSON data, mapping columns, or creating summary statistics.
Sets (set())
Sets are unordered collections with no duplicate values.
Example:
departments = set(['Sales', 'HR', 'Sales'])
print(departments) # Output: {'Sales', 'HR'}
Use sets when you need to find unique values in a dataset.
Here are some important points to remember:
- Lists help you store sequences like rows or values from a column.
- Dictionaries are great for quick lookups and mappings.
- Sets are useful when working with unique entries, like distinct categories.
- Tuples protect data from accidental modification.
You’ll use these structures every day with pandas. For example, each row in a DataFrame can be treated like a dictionary, and columns often act like lists.

Data Analytics
Let's start with the first Python Concept today 1. Data Types & Data Structures Before you analyze anything, you need to organize and store your data properly. Python offers four main data structures that every data analyst must master. Lists ([]) A list…
Now, let’s move to the next important Python concept: Loops & Conditional Statements
Once your data is stored in a list, dictionary, or any structure, you’ll often want to loop through it or perform actions based on specific conditions.
Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)
These allow your program to make decisions based on certain conditions.
*Example* :
age = 25
if age >= 18:
print("Adult")
else:
print("Minor")
This code checks if age is 18 or more. If yes, it prints “Adult”. If not, it prints “Minor”.
Use this when:
- You’re filtering data based on certain conditions
- You want to handle missing values or outliers differently
- You want different results for different input categories
Loops (for, while)
Loops help you automate repetitive tasks.
In data analytics, this is especially useful for cleaning and transforming data.
Example (using for):
scores = [45, 67, 89, 90]
for score in scores:
if score >= 50:
print("Pass")
else:
print("Fail")
It loops through each number in the scores list.
If the score is 50 or more, it prints “Pass”.
Otherwise, it prints “Fail”.
So the output will be:
Fail
Pass
Pass
Pass
Example (using while):
count = 0
while count < 3:
print("Loading...")
count += 1
This starts with count = 0.
It keeps printing “Loading...” until count reaches 3.
After each loop, it adds 1 to count.
So it prints “Loading...” three times.
Real Use-Cases in Data Analytics:
- Looping through rows to clean or validate data
- Using conditions to flag anomalies or classify data
- Automating repetitive logic like formatting strings, checking for nulls, or recalculating columns
*Extras – break and continue:*
These help control your loop.
- break stops the loop
- continue skips the current iteration
Example:
for val in [1, 2, 0, 3]:
if val == 0:
continue
print(10 / val)
When it hits 0, it skips the division (to avoid dividing by zero).
For other numbers, it divides 10 by the value and prints it.
So the output is:
10.0
5.0
3.3333333333333335
While loops and conditionals are essential, you'll use them less directly when working with pandas — but understanding how they work under the hood helps you write better, faster code.

Data Analytics
Now, let’s move to the next important Python concept: Loops & Conditional Statements Once your data is stored in a list, dictionary, or any structure, you’ll often want to loop through it or perform actions based on specific conditions. Conditional Statements…
Now let’s move to the most powerful concepts in Python:
Functions – Write Once, Use Forever
Think of functions as your personal data assistant. They allow you to group a set of instructions under a name — and run that code whenever you need it, with just one line!
You’ll often repeat data cleaning steps (e.g., removing nulls, formatting dates) using Functions.
Functions make your code cleaner, reusable, and scalable.
You can also pass parameters to make functions more flexible.
*Basic Function Structure**
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
What it does:
This defines a function called greet that takes one input (name) and prints a greeting.
When you call it like this:
greet("Alice")
Output:
Hello, Alice!
Real-Life Example:
Clean Column Names:
def clean_column(col_name):
return col_name.strip().lower().replace(" ", "_")
What it does:
.strip() removes extra spaces
.lower() makes everything lowercase
.replace(" ", "_") replaces spaces with underscores
Use-case :
If your dataset has messy column names like " Total Sales ", this function will turn it into "total_sales".
Function with Multiple Parameters
def calculate_discount(price, discount_percent):
return price - (price * discount_percent / 100)
What it does:
Takes in a price and discount percent, and returns the discounted price.
Example :
final_price = calculate_discount(200, 10)
print(final_price)
Output:
180.0
Reusability in Projects
Let’s say you’re working with sales data and you need to:
- Clean up strings
- Convert dates
- Format currency
You can create a function for each, and call them anytime you need across multiple projects. Saves hours in the long run.

As a data analyst, your focus isn't on creating dashboards, writing SQL queries, doing pivot tables, generating reports, or cleaning data.
Your focus should be solving business problems using these skills
- Don’t just write SQL—ask why you're querying that data and what decision it will influence.
- Don’t just build a dashboard—ask who will use it and how it will help them take action.
- Don’t just clean data—know what insight lies beneath the mess.
- Don’t just report metrics—ask what story they’re telling and what recommendation can follow.

Let’s be honest:
SQL seems simple… until JOINs, Subqueries, and Window Functions come crashing in.
But mastering SQL doesn’t have to be hard.
You just need the right roadmap—and that’s exactly what this is.
Here’s a 5-step SQL journey to go from beginner to job-ready analyst👇
🔹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: Nail the Basics (Learn to Think in SQL)
Start with the foundations:
✅ SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY
✅ DISTINCT, LIMIT, BETWEEN, LIKE
✅ COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX
Practice with small tables to build confidence.
Use platforms like:
➡️ W3Schools
➡️ Modesql
➡️ LeetCode (easy problems)
🔹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: Understand GROUP BY and Aggregations (The Analyst’s Superpower)
This is where real-world queries begin. Learn:
✅ GROUP BY + HAVING
✅ Combining GROUP BY with COUNT/AVG
✅ Filtering aggregated data
Example:
"Find top 5 cities with the highest total sales in 2023"
That’s GROUP BY magic.
🔹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: MASTER JOINS (Stop Getting Confused)
JOINS scare a lot of people. But they’re just pattern-matching across tables.
Learn one by one:
✅ INNER JOIN
✅ LEFT JOIN
✅ RIGHT JOIN
✅ FULL OUTER JOIN
✅ SELF JOIN
✅ CROSS JOIN (rare, but good to know)
Visualize them using Venn diagrams or draw sample tables—it helps!
🔹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: Learn Subqueries and CTEs (Write Cleaner, Powerful SQL)
✅ Subqueries: Query inside another query
✅ CTEs (WITH clause): Cleaner and reusable queries
✅ Use them to break down complex problems
CTEs = the secret sauce to writing queries recruiters love.
🔹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: Level Up with Window Functions (Your Entry into Advanced SQL)
If you want to stand out, this is it:
✅ ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), DENSE_RANK()
✅ LAG(), LEAD(), NTILE()
✅ PARTITION BY and ORDER BY combo
Use these to:
➡️ Find top N per group
➡️ Track user behavior over time
➡️ Do cohort analysis
You don’t need 100 LeetCode problems.
You need 10 real-world queries done deeply.
Keep it simple. Keep it useful.

If you’re just starting out in Data Analytics, it’s super important to build the right habits early.
Here’s a simple plan for beginners to grow both technical and problem-solving skills together:
If You Just Started Learning Data Analytics, Focus on These 5 Baby Steps:
1. Don’t Just Watch Tutorials — Build Small Projects
After learning a new tool (like SQL or Excel), create mini-projects:
- Analyze your expenses
- Explore a free dataset (like Netflix movies, COVID data)
2. Ask Business-Like Questions Early
Whenever you see a dataset, practice asking:
- What problem could this data solve?
- Who would care about this insight?
3. Start a ‘Data Journal’
Every day, note down:
- What you learned
- One business question you could answer with data (Helps you build real-world thinking!)
4. Practice the Basics 100x
Get very comfortable with:
- SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY (SQL)
- Pivot tables and charts (Excel)
- Basic cleaning (Power Query / Python pandas)
_Mastering basics > learning 50 fancy functions._
5. Learn to Communicate Early
Explain your mini-projects like this:
- What was the business goal?
- What did you find?
- What should someone do based on it?
