What is Docker ?

1 โ€ข Development

Lets say You created an Application
And that's working fine in your machine

2 โ€ข Production

But in Production it doesn't work properly
Developers experince it a lot

3 โ€ข That is when the Developer's famous words are spoken

Client - Your application is not working ๐Ÿ˜ก

Developer - It's working on my Machine ๐Ÿ˜’

4 โ€ข The Reason could be due to:

โ€ข Dependencies
โ€ข Libraries and versions
โ€ข Framework
โ€ข OS Level features
โ€ข Microservices

That the developers machine has but not there in the production environment

5 โ€ข DOCKER

We need a standardized way to package the application with its dependencies and deploy it on any environment.
Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers.

So it will always work the same regardless of its environment

6 โ€ข How Does Docker Work?

Docker packages an application and all its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux server.

7 โ€ข Each container runs as an isolated process in the user space and take up less space than regular VMs due to their layered architecture.

SQL Interview Questions with Answers

1. How to change a table name in SQL?
This is the command to change a table name in SQL:
ALTER TABLE table_name
RENAME TO new_table_name;
We will start off by giving the keywords ALTER TABLE, then we will follow it up by giving the original name of the table, after that, we will give in the keywords RENAME TO and finally, we will give the new table name.

2. How to use LIKE in SQL?
The LIKE operator checks if an attribute value matches a given string pattern. Here is an example of LIKE operator
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE first_name like โ€˜Stevenโ€™;
With this command, we will be able to extract all the records where the first name is like โ€œStevenโ€.

3. If we drop a table, does it also drop related objects like constraints, indexes, columns, default, views and sorted procedures?
Yes, SQL server drops all related objects, which exists inside a table like constraints, indexes, columns, defaults etc. But dropping a table will not drop views and sorted procedures as they exist outside the table.

4. Explain SQL Constraints.
SQL Constraints are used to specify the rules of data type in a table. They can be specified while creating and altering the table. The following are the constraints in SQL: NOT NULL CHECK DEFAULT UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY FOREIGN KEY

Leetcode is a tool to learn

Neetcode is a tool to learn

CodeChef is a tool to learn

Codeforces is a tool to learn

HackerRank is a tool to learn

GeeksForGeeks is a tool to learn

It doesn't matter:

- which platform you are using

- or how many problems you solve

All that matters is how strong you grasp concepts and adapt to problems.

Don't chase the status of 500 or 1000 problems solved.

Chase proper learning & training your mind for problem-solving.

SQL can be simpleโ€”if you learn it the smart way..



If youโ€™re aiming to become a data analyst, mastering SQL is non-negotiable.
Hereโ€™s a smart roadmap to ace it:

1. Basics First: Understand data types, simple queries (SELECT, FROM, WHERE). Master basic filtering.

2. Joins & Relationships: Dive into INNER, LEFT, RIGHT joins. Practice combining tables to extract meaningful insights.

3. Aggregations & Functions: Get comfortable with COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, GROUP BY, and HAVING clauses. These are essential for summarizing data.

4. Subqueries & Nested Queries: Learn how to query within queries. This is powerful for handling complex datasets.

5. Window Functions: Explore ranking, cumulative sums, and sliding windows to work with running totals and moving averages.

6. Optimization: Study indexing and query optimization for faster, more efficient queries.

7. Real-World Scenarios: Apply your SQL knowledge to solve real-world business problems.

The journey may seem tough, but each step sharpens your skills and brings you closer to data analysis excellence. Stay consistent, practice regularly, and let SQL become your superpower! ๐Ÿ’ช
