  2. Interview Agenda 1 2 Understanding SQL Fundamentals Key SQL Commands & Functions Revisit the core concepts of SQL essential for any interview. Dive into frequently asked commands and functions. 3 4 Advanced SQL Concepts Optimisation & Best Practices Tackle complex topics like joins and subqueries. Learn how to write efficient SQL queries.

  3. SQL Fundamentals: The Building Blocks What is SQL? SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for relational database management systems. It's used to communicate with and manipulate databases. DBMS vs. RDBMS A DBMS (Database Management System) manages databases, while an RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) is a specific type of DBMS based on the relational model.

  4. Essential SQL Commands & Functions DDL (Data Definition Language) DML (Data Manipulation Language) Commands like CREATE, ALTER, DROP are used for defining and modifying database structure. Commands like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE are for managing data within database objects. DQL (Data Query Language) DCL (Data Control Language) The SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from the database. Commands like GRANT and REVOKE manage user permissions and access control.

  5. Mastering Joins & Subqueries Types of SQL Joins Subqueries: Nested Power Joins combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column. Key types include INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, and FULL OUTER JOINs. A subquery (or inner query) is a query nested inside another SQL query. They can be used with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements. Understanding their differences is crucial for retrieving comprehensive datasets. They are powerful for complex filtering and data retrieval.

  6. SQL Functions for Data Manipulation Aggregate Functions Scalar Functions Window Functions COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX are essential for performing calculations on sets of rows. Functions like UCASE, LCASE, LENGTH, ROUND operate on single values to format or transform data. Advanced functions like ROW_NUMBER, RANK, and LEAD/LAG are crucial for analytical queries, allowing calculations across a set of table rows related to the current row.

  7. Optimisation & Best Practices Indexing: Improve query performance by creating indexes on frequently queried columns. Choose appropriate index types (clustered, non-clustered). EXPLAIN Plan: Use the EXPLAIN command to understand how your queries are executed and identify bottlenecks. Avoid SELECT *: Only select necessary columns to reduce data transfer and processing overhead. Use WHERE clauses: Filter data as early as possible to minimise the dataset processed by subsequent operations. Normalisation: Design your database schema with appropriate normalisation to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity.
