Best practices for writing SQL queries:

Join for more: https://t.me/learndataanalysis

1- Write SQL keywords in capital letters.

2- Use table aliases with columns when you are joining multiple tables.

3- Never use select *, always mention list of columns in select clause.

4- Add useful comments wherever you write complex logic. Avoid too many comments.

5- Use joins instead of subqueries when possible for better performance.

6- Create CTEs instead of multiple sub queries , it will make your query easy to read.

7- Join tables using JOIN keywords instead of writing join condition in where clause for better readability.

8- Never use order by in sub queries , It will unnecessary increase runtime.

9- If you know there are no duplicates in 2 tables, use UNION ALL instead of UNION for better performance.
