SQL CHEAT SHEET๐ฉโ๐ป
SQL is a language used to communicate with databases it stands for Structured Query Language and is used by database administrators and developers alike to write queries that are used to interact with the database. Here is a quick cheat sheet of some of the most essential SQL commands:
SELECT - Retrieves data from a database
UPDATE - Updates existing data in a database
DELETE - Removes data from a database
INSERT - Adds data to a database
CREATE - Creates an object such as a database or table
ALTER - Modifies an existing object in a database
DROP -Deletes an entire table or database
ORDER BY - Sorts the selected data in an ascending or descending order
WHERE โ Condition used to filter a specific set of records from the database
GROUP BY - Groups a set of data by a common parameter
HAVING - Allows the use of aggregate functions within the query
JOIN - Joins two or more tables together to retrieve data
INDEX - Creates an index on a table, to speed up search times.

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a domain-specific language used to manage and manipulate relational databases. Here's a brief A-Z overview by @sqlanalyst
A - Aggregate Functions: Functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, and MAX used to perform operations on data in a database.
B - BETWEEN: A SQL operator used to filter results within a specific range.
C - CREATE TABLE: SQL statement for creating a new table in a database.
D - DELETE: SQL statement used to delete records from a table.
E - EXISTS: SQL operator used in a subquery to test if a specified condition exists.
F - FOREIGN KEY: A field in a database table that is a primary key in another table, establishing a link between the two tables.
G - GROUP BY: SQL clause used to group rows that have the same values in specified columns.
H - HAVING: SQL clause used in combination with GROUP BY to filter the results.
I - INNER JOIN: SQL clause used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column between them.
J - JOIN: Combines rows from two or more tables based on a related column.
K - KEY: A field or set of fields in a database table that uniquely identifies each record.
L - LIKE: SQL operator used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a column.
M - MODIFY: SQL command used to modify an existing database table.
N - NULL: Represents missing or undefined data in a database.
O - ORDER BY: SQL clause used to sort the result set in ascending or descending order.
P - PRIMARY KEY: A field in a table that uniquely identifies each record in that table.
Q - QUERY: A request for data from a database using SQL.
R - ROLLBACK: SQL command used to undo transactions that have not been saved to the database.
S - SELECT: SQL statement used to query the database and retrieve data.
T - TRUNCATE: SQL command used to delete all records from a table without logging individual row deletions.
U - UPDATE: SQL statement used to modify the existing records in a table.
V - VIEW: A virtual table based on the result of a SELECT query.
W - WHERE: SQL clause used to filter the results of a query based on a specified condition.
X - (E)XISTS: Used in conjunction with SELECT to test the existence of rows returned by a subquery.
Z - ZERO: Represents the absence of a value in numeric fields or the initial state of boolean fields.
A - Aggregate Functions: Functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, and MAX used to perform operations on data in a database.
B - BETWEEN: A SQL operator used to filter results within a specific range.
C - CREATE TABLE: SQL statement for creating a new table in a database.

The Secret to learn SQL:
It's not about knowing everything
It's about doing simple things well
What You ACTUALLY Need:
1. SELECT Mastery
* SELECT * LIMIT 10
(yes, for exploration only!)
* COUNT, SUM, AVG
(used every single day)
* Basic DATE functions
(life-saving for reports)
* CASE WHEN
2. JOIN Logic
* LEFT JOIN
(your best friend)
* INNER JOIN
(your second best friend)
* That's it.
3. WHERE Magic
* Basic conditions
* AND, OR operators
* IN, NOT IN
* NULL handling
* LIKE for text search
4. GROUP BY Essentials
* Basic grouping
* HAVING clause
* Multiple columns
* Simple aggregations
Most common tasks:
* Pull monthly sales
* Count unique customers
* Calculate basic metrics
* Filter date ranges
* Join 2-3 tables
Focus on:
* Clean code
* Clear comments
* Consistent formatting
* Proper indentation
