What SQL topic do you find the most challenging?
Let's go through the next topic today

How to use Subqueries Effectively

Subqueries are incredibly useful when you need to perform a query within a query. However, they can sometimes be challenging to use efficiently. Hereโ€™s how to master subqueries for cleaner and more powerful SQL queries:

Types of Subqueries:

Scalar Subqueries: These return a single value and are often used in SELECT or WHERE clauses.

Row Subqueries: These return one row and are used with IN or EXISTS.

Table Subqueries: These return multiple rows and columns and can be used in the FROM clause as a derived table.


Use Cases: Subqueries are great for breaking complex logic into smaller, more manageable pieces. Common use cases include filtering records based on aggregate results or comparing data between two tables without using a JOIN.

Performance Considerations: While subqueries are powerful, they can sometimes be slower than JOINs, especially when nested multiple times. Consider using JOINs or Common Table Expressions (CTEs) as alternatives for performance optimization.

Avoid Correlated Subqueries: Correlated subqueries reference columns from the outer query, which means the subquery runs repeatedly for each row in the outer query. This can be inefficient for large datasets. Use them only when necessary, and always check performance.


Example:

SELECT customer_id, customer_name
FROM customers
WHERE customer_id IN (
SELECT customer_id
FROM orders
WHERE order_date > '2023-01-01'
);

In this example, the subquery retrieves customer IDs that placed orders after a specific date. The outer query uses this subquery to filter the list of customers.

Alternative with JOIN:

While subqueries are useful, a JOIN can sometimes be more efficient. The query above could be rewritten as a JOIN:


SELECT DISTINCT customers.customer_id, customers.customer_name
FROM customers
JOIN orders ON customers.customer_id = orders.customer_id
WHERE orders.order_date > '2023-01-01';


Choose Wisely: Always consider whether a subquery or a JOIN makes more sense for the specific problem. JOINs are typically faster for larger datasets, but subqueries can be more readable in some cases.

When working with subqueries, always test their performance, especially if they are nested within other queries or return large result sets. Consider using indexing to improve speed where possible.

Today, let's go through next challenging SQL topic:

Working with Window Functions

Window functions are a powerful SQL tool for performing calculations across a set of table rows related to the current row. Unlike aggregate functions, which collapse rows into a single value, window functions keep individual rows while allowing you to calculate running totals, rankings, and more. Hereโ€™s how you can use them effectively:

Syntax Overview: Window functions use the OVER() clause, which defines how the rows are partitioned and ordered. A typical window function looks like this:

SELECT column_name, 
window_function() OVER (PARTITION BY column_name ORDER BY column_name) AS alias
FROM table_name;

Key Use Cases:

Rankings and Row Numbers: Use functions like RANK(), ROW_NUMBER(), and DENSE_RANK() to rank data while preserving individual rows.

Running Totals: Use SUM() with a window to compute cumulative totals over a partition of rows.

Moving Averages: Use AVG() with a window to calculate averages over a specific range of rows (e.g., for trend analysis).

Lag and Lead: These functions allow you to access data from previous or subsequent rows without using self-joins.


PARTITION BY vs. ORDER BY:

PARTITION BY works like a GROUP BY clause, dividing the data into segments before applying the window function.

ORDER BY specifies how the rows within each partition are ordered for the window function calculation.


Common Window Functions:

ROW_NUMBER(): Assigns a unique number to each row in the result set.

RANK(): Assigns a rank to each row with gaps between tied ranks.

DENSE_RANK(): Similar to RANK(), but without gaps between ranks.

SUM(), AVG(): Can be used to calculate running totals or averages.



Example: Cumulative Total

SELECT 
employee_id,
salary,
SUM(salary) OVER (ORDER BY employee_id) AS cumulative_salary
FROM employees;

In this query, we calculate a cumulative total of salaries as we move down the list of employees ordered by employee_id. The SUM() function calculates the running total without collapsing rows.

Example: Ranking Employees by Salary

SELECT 
employee_id,
salary,
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) AS salary_rank
FROM employees;

Here, the RANK() function assigns a rank to each employee based on their salary, with the highest-paid employee getting a rank of 1.

Window functions are highly flexible and can replace more complex queries involving JOINs and GROUP BY. When working with large datasets, make sure to test performance, as window functions can be computationally intensive.

What SQL topic do you find the most challenging?
Today, let's explore next Advanced SQL Topic

Writing Stored Procedures and Functions

Stored procedures and functions are essential in SQL when you want to automate repetitive tasks, enhance security, and improve performance by reducing client-server interactions. Hereโ€™s how to use them effectively:

Stored Procedures: A stored procedure is a set of SQL statements that you can execute repeatedly. You can pass parameters to a stored procedure, which makes it versatile for tasks like updating records or generating reports.

Use Cases:

Automating tasks like daily data imports or backups.

Performing complex data transformations.

Enforcing business rules with reusable logic.


Syntax:

CREATE PROCEDURE procedure_name (parameters)
BEGIN
-- SQL statements
END;

Example:

CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateEmployeeSalary (IN employee_id INT, IN new_salary DECIMAL(10, 2))
BEGIN
UPDATE employees
SET salary = new_salary
WHERE id = employee_id;
END;

This procedure updates an employee's salary based on their ID.


Functions: Functions are similar to stored procedures but are used to return a value. Theyโ€™re typically used for computations and can be used in queries like regular expressions.

Use Cases:

Returning computed values, such as calculating total sales or tax.

Custom transformations or data validations.


Syntax:

CREATE FUNCTION function_name (parameters)
RETURNS return_type
BEGIN
-- SQL statements
RETURN value;
END;

Example:

CREATE FUNCTION GetEmployeeBonus (salary DECIMAL(10, 2))
RETURNS DECIMAL(10, 2)
BEGIN
RETURN salary * 0.10;
END;

In this example, the function returns 10% of an employee's salary as their bonus.


Key Differences Between Procedures and Functions:

Return Values: Procedures do not have to return a value, whereas functions must return a value.

Usage in Queries: Functions can be called from within a SELECT statement, while stored procedures cannot.

Transaction Management: Stored procedures can manage transactions (BEGIN, COMMIT, ROLLBACK), whereas functions cannot.


Performance Benefits:

Reduced Network Traffic: Since the logic is stored on the server, stored procedures reduce the need for multiple round-trips between the client and server.

Execution Plans: Stored procedures benefit from precompiled execution plans, which can improve performance on frequently executed queries.



Example: Using a Function in a Query

SELECT 
employee_id,
salary,
GetEmployeeBonus(salary) AS bonus
FROM employees;

In this query, the custom function GetEmployeeBonus() is used to calculate a bonus for each employee based on their salary.

Use stored procedures and functions when you need reusable, secure, and efficient ways to handle complex logic and repetitive tasks in your database.

10 Advanced SQL Concepts For Data Analysts

1. Window Functions for Advanced Analytics:
Calculate running totals, ranks, and moving averages without subqueries.

SELECT date, sales, SUM(sales) OVER (ORDER BY date) AS running_total FROM sales_data;


2. Conditional Aggregation with CASE WHEN:
Segment data within a single query, saving time and creating versatile summaries.

SELECT COUNT(CASE WHEN status = 'Completed' THEN 1 END) AS completed_orders FROM orders;


3. CTEs for Modular Queries:
Make complex queries more readable and reusable with CTEs.

WITH filtered_sales AS (SELECT * FROM sales_data WHERE region = 'North')
SELECT product, SUM(sales) FROM filtered_sales GROUP BY product;


4. Optimize with EXISTS vs. IN:
Use EXISTS for better performance in larger datasets.

SELECT * FROM customers c WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM orders o WHERE o.customer_id = c.id);


5. Self Joins for Row Comparisons:
Compare rows within the same table, helpful for changes over time.

SELECT a.date, (a.sales - b.sales) AS sales_diff FROM sales_data a JOIN sales_data b ON a.date = b.date + INTERVAL '1' MONTH;


6. UNION vs. UNION ALL:
Combine results from multiple queries; UNION ALL is faster as it doesnโ€™t remove duplicates.

7. Handle NULLs with COALESCE:
Replace NULLs with defaults to avoid calculation issues.

SELECT product, COALESCE(sales, 0) AS sales FROM product_sales;


8. Pivot Data with CASE Statements:
Transform rows into columns for clearer insights.

9. Extract Data with STRING Functions:
Useful for semi-structured data; extract domains, product codes, etc.

SELECT SUBSTRING(email, CHARINDEX('@', email) + 1, LEN(email)) AS domain FROM users;


10. Indexing for Faster Queries:
Indexes speed up data retrieval, especially on frequently queried columns.

Mastering these SQL tricks will optimize your queries, simplify logic, and enable complex analyses.

Retrieve the employee names and their manager names from the employees table, where both the employee and manager work in the same department.

๐— ๐—ฒ: Challenge accepted!

SELECT e.employee_name, m.employee_name AS manager_name
FROM employees e
JOIN employees m ON e.manager_id = m.employee_id
WHERE e.department = m.department;`


I used a self-join to connect the employees table with itself, matching employees with their managers based on manager_id and employee_id. The ON condition specifies the relationship, and WHERE ensures both employee and manager are in the same department. This query demonstrates how self-joins allow us to link a table to itself to extract meaningful relationships between its rows.

Retrieve the department name and the highest salary in each department from the 'Employees' table, but only for departments where the highest salary is greater than $70,000.

๐— ๐—ฒ: Challenge accepted!

1๏ธโƒฃ Add a New Measure: To calculate the highest salary per department, use:

Highest_Salary = CALCULATE(MAX(Employees[Salary]), ALLEXCEPT(Employees, Employees[Department]))

2๏ธโƒฃ Create a Filtered Table: Next, create a table visual to show only departments with a salary over $70,000. Apply a filter to display departments where:

Highest_Salary > 70000

This solution demonstrates my ability to use DAX measures and filters effectively to meet specific business needs in Power BI.

Retrieve the department name and the highest salary in each department from the 'Employees' dataset, but only for departments where the highest salary is greater than $70,000.

๐— ๐—ฒ: Challenge accepted!

1๏ธโƒฃ Create a New Sheet: Start by dragging Department to the Rows shelf and Salary to the Columns shelf.

2๏ธโƒฃ Calculate Highest Salary per Department:

Right-click on Salary in the Columns shelf, select Measure, and choose Maximum to show the highest salary for each department.


3๏ธโƒฃ Apply Filter for Salary > $70,000:

Drag Salary to the Filters shelf, select Maximum as the aggregation type, and set the condition to > 70000.

Retrieve the department name and the highest salary in each department from the employee dataset, but only for departments where the highest salary is greater than $70,000.

๐— ๐—ฒ: Challenge accepted!

1๏ธโƒฃ Import Libraries and Create DataFrame:

import pandas as pd

# Sample data
data = {'Department': ['Sales', 'Sales', 'HR', 'HR', 'Engineering', 'Engineering'],
'Salary': [60000, 80000, 75000, 65000, 72000, 90000]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

2๏ธโƒฃ Group and Filter: Use groupby() to find the highest salary in each department, then filter based on the condition.

# Group by department and find max salary
result = df.groupby('Department')['Salary'].max().reset_index()

# Filter departments with highest salary > 70000
result = result[result['Salary'] > 70000]
print(result)

This solution shows my understanding of pandas functions like groupby(), max(), and data filtering to meet specific requirements in a short time.
