5 Common SQL Myths Debunked

Here is a Quick Recap of SQL Concepts for Data Analyst Interviews:

FROM clause: Identifies the tables from which data will be retrieved.

WHERE clause: Filters rows that meet certain conditions, narrowing down the dataset.

GROUP BY clause: Organizes identical values into groups, often used with aggregate functions.

HAVING clause: Applies filters on groups created by the GROUP BY clause.

SELECT clause: Specifies which columns or expressions to display in the query results.

WINDOW functions: Perform row-wise calculations without collapsing the data, like ROW_NUMBER, RANK, LAG.

AGGREGATE functions: Includes SUM, COUNT, AVG, and others, used for summarizing data.

UNION / UNION ALL: Merges results from multiple queries into a single result set. UNION removes duplicates, while UNION ALL keeps them.

ORDER BY clause: Arranges the result set in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns.

LIMIT / OFFSET (or FETCH / OFFSET): Limits the number of rows returned and specifies the starting row for pagination.
