Interview Q&A Playlists


1. SQL Data Definition Language (DDL)

● CREATE: Create a new database object (e.g., table).


● ALTER: Modify an existing database object.
● DROP: Remove an existing database object.
● TRUNCATE: Remove all records from a table (but keep the structure).

DDL is used to define and manage database structures like tables and schemas.

2. SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML)

● INSERT: Insert new data into a table.


● UPDATE: Modify existing data in a table.
● DELETE: Remove data from a table.

DML is used to manipulate data within database tables.

3. SQL Data Types

● Numeric Data Types: INT, FLOAT, DECIMAL, etc.


● String Data Types: VARCHAR, CHAR, TEXT, etc.
● Date/Time Data Types: DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, etc.
● Boolean Data Type: BOOLEAN.

Data types define the nature of data that can be stored in a column (numbers, text, dates,
etc.).

4. SQL Querying Data

● SELECT: Retrieve data from the database.


● DISTINCT: Remove duplicate rows in a result set.
● WHERE: Filter records based on a condition.
● LIKE: Search for a specified pattern.
● ORDER BY: Sort the result set.
● LIMIT: Limit the number of returned rows (MySQL/PostgreSQL).
● TOP: Limit the number of returned rows (SQL Server).
● AND, OR, NOT: Logical operators for filtering data.
● IN: Filter records based on a list of values.
● BETWEEN: Filter records based on a range.

These clauses and operators are used to filter and organize query results.

5. Aggregate Functions

● SUM(): Calculate the total sum of a numeric column.


● MAX(): Find the maximum value.
● MIN(): Find the minimum value.
● COUNT(): Count the number of rows.
● AVG(): Calculate the average value.

Aggregate functions are used to calculate summary statistics on sets of data.

6. Grouping and Filtering Data

● GROUP BY: Group rows that have the same values into summary rows.
● HAVING: Filter groups based on a condition.

These clauses are used to group data and filter aggregated results.

7. SQL Joins

● INNER JOIN: Return rows with matching values in both tables.


● LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN): Return all rows from the left table, and the
matched rows from the right table.
● RIGHT JOIN (RIGHT OUTER JOIN): Return all rows from the right table,
and the matched rows from the left table.
● FULL OUTER JOIN: Return all rows when there is a match in either left or right
table.
● SELF JOIN: Join a table to itself.

Joins are used to combine rows from two or more tables based on related columns.

8. Subqueries and CTEs (Common Table Expressions)


● CTE: Temporary result set defined within the execution scope of a SELECT,
INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
● SUBQUERIES: A query nested inside another query.

Subqueries and CTEs are used to simplify complex queries and improve readability.

9. Set Operators

● UNION: Combine the result sets of two or more SELECT statements (without
duplicates).
● UNION ALL: Combine the result sets of two or more SELECT statements (with
duplicates).

Set operators are used to combine the results of multiple queries.

10. Existential and Conditional Queries

● EXISTS: Test for the existence of any records in a subquery.


● CASE WHEN: Perform conditional logic in a SQL statement.

Existential queries check for the existence of data, while CASE WHEN is used for
conditional logic within queries.

11. Window Functions

● ROW_NUMBER() OVER: Assigns a unique sequential integer to rows within a


partition of a result set.
● RANK() OVER: Provides a ranking of rows within a partition, allowing for ties.
● DENSE_RANK() OVER: Similar to RANK(), but without gaps in ranking.
● LEAD() OVER: Access data from the following row in a partition.
● LAG() OVER: Access data from the preceding row in a partition.
● NTILE() OVER: Distribute rows into a specified number of equal-sized groups.
● FIRST_VALUE() OVER: Get the first value in an ordered set of values.
● LAST_VALUE() OVER: Get the last value in an ordered set of values.

Window functions allow for calculations across a set of rows related to the current row,
without collapsing data into groups.

12. Aggregate Functions as Window Functions


● SUM() OVER: Calculate the sum of values across a window of rows.
● MAX() OVER: Find the maximum value across a window of rows.
● MIN() OVER: Find the minimum value across a window of rows.
● COUNT() OVER: Count the number of rows across a window.
● AVG() OVER: Calculate the average value across a window.

By using the OVER() clause, aggregate functions become window functions, allowing for
aggregate calculations over a defined set of rows (the window) without collapsing the
data like a traditional GROUP BY would.

13. SQL Date and Time Functions

● Functions to manipulate date and time values (e.g., NOW(), CURRENT_DATE,


DATEADD(), DATEDIFF(), etc.).

These functions allow for the manipulation and comparison of date and time values in
queries.
