75% of real SQL work boils down to these essentials:
1๏ธโฃ SELECT, FROM, WHERE
โฆ Pick columns, tables, and filter rows
SELECT name, age FROM customers WHERE age > 30;
2๏ธโฃ JOINs
โฆ Combine related tables (INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN)
SELECT o.id, c.name FROM orders o JOIN customers c ON o.customer_id = c.id;
3๏ธโฃ GROUP BY
โฆ Aggregate data by groups
SELECT country, COUNT(*) FROM users GROUP BY country;
4๏ธโฃ ORDER BY
โฆ Sort results ascending or descending
SELECT name, score FROM students ORDER BY score DESC;
5๏ธโฃ Aggregation Functions
โฆ COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX()
SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees;
6๏ธโฃ ROW_NUMBER()
โฆ Rank rows within partitions
SELECT name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rank
FROM employees;
