Best practices for writing SQL queries:

Join for more: https://t.iss.one/learndataanalysis

1- Write SQL keywords in capital letters.

2- Use table aliases with columns when you are joining multiple tables.

3- Never use select *, always mention list of columns in select clause.

4- Add useful comments wherever you write complex logic. Avoid too many comments.

5- Use joins instead of subqueries when possible for better performance.

6- Create CTEs instead of multiple sub queries , it will make your query easy to read.

7- Join tables using JOIN keywords instead of writing join condition in where clause for better readability.

8- Never use order by in sub queries , It will unnecessary increase runtime.

9- If you know there are no duplicates in 2 tables, use UNION ALL instead of UNION for better performance.

SQL Interview Questions with Answers Part-1: โ˜‘๏ธ

1. What is SQL? 
   SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language designed to manage and manipulate relational databases. It allows you to query, insert, update, and delete data, as well as create and modify schema objects like tables and views.

2. Differentiate between SQL and NoSQL databases. 
   SQL databases are relational, table-based, and use structured query language with fixed schemas, ideal for complex queries and transactions. NoSQL databases are non-relational, can be document, key-value, graph, or column-oriented, and are schema-flexible, designed for scalability and handling unstructured data.

3. What are the different types of SQL commands?
โฆ DDL (Data Definition Language): CREATE, ALTER, DROP (define and modify structure)
โฆ DML (Data Manipulation Language): SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE (data operations)
โฆ DCL (Data Control Language): GRANT, REVOKE (permission control)
โฆ TCL (Transaction Control Language): COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT (transaction management)

4. Explain the difference between WHERE and HAVING clauses.
โฆ WHERE filters rows before grouping (used with SELECT, UPDATE).
โฆ HAVING filters groups after aggregation (used with GROUP BY), e.g., filtering aggregated results like sums or counts.

5. Write a SQL query to find the second highest salary in a table. 
   Using a subquery:
SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees  
WHERE salary < (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees);

Or using DENSE_RANK():
SELECT salary FROM (  
  SELECT salary, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) as rnk 
  FROM employees) t 
WHERE rnk = 2;


6. What is a JOIN? Explain different types of JOINs. 
   A JOIN combines rows from two or more tables based on a related column:
โฆ INNER JOIN: returns matching rows from both tables.
โฆ LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN): all rows from the left table, matched rows from right.
โฆ RIGHT JOIN (RIGHT OUTER JOIN): all rows from right table, matched rows from left.
โฆ FULL JOIN (FULL OUTER JOIN): all rows when thereโ€™s a match in either table.
โฆ CROSS JOIN: Cartesian product of both tables.

7. How do you optimize slow-performing SQL queries?
โฆ Use indexes appropriately to speed up lookups.
โฆ Avoid SELECT *; only select necessary columns.
โฆ Use joins carefully; filter early with WHERE clauses.
โฆ Analyze execution plans to identify bottlenecks.
โฆ Avoid unnecessary subqueries; use EXISTS or JOINs.
โฆ Limit result sets with pagination if dealing with large datasets.

8. What is a primary key? What is a foreign key?
โฆ Primary Key: A unique identifier for records in a table; it cannot be NULL.
โฆ Foreign Key: A field that creates a link between two tables by referring to the primary key in another table, enforcing referential integrity.

9. What are indexes? Explain clustered and non-clustered indexes.
โฆ Indexes speed up data retrieval by providing quick lookups.
โฆ Clustered Index: Sorts and stores the actual data rows in the table based on the key; a table can have only one clustered index.
โฆ Non-Clustered Index: Creates a separate structure that points to the data rows; tables can have multiple non-clustered indexes.

10. Write a SQL query to fetch the top 5 records from a table. 
    In SQL Server and PostgreSQL:
SELECT * FROM table_name  
ORDER BY some_column DESC 
LIMIT 5; 

In SQL Server (older syntax):
SELECT TOP 5 * FROM table_name  
ORDER BY some_column DESC;
