Description
This comprehensive practice tests “[NEW] 1500 Master SQL: Interview Questions – Practice Tests” are meticulously designed for learners at all levels—from beginners to advanced practitioners—who aspire to master SQL. Covering a wide array of topics such as basic SQL concepts, functions, joins, transactions, and advanced SQL techniques, this course provides a robust foundation in database management.
These practice tests cover:
1. Basic SQL Concepts
SQL Syntax: Understanding the structure of basic SQL statements.
SELECT Queries: Retrieving data from databases.
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE: Modifying and deleting records in tables.
WHERE Clause: Filtering data based on conditions.
ORDER BY, GROUP BY: Sorting and grouping results.
2. SQL Functions
Aggregate Functions: COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX().
String Functions: CONCAT(), LENGTH(), SUBSTRING(), UPPER(), LOWER().
Date Functions: NOW(), CURDATE(), DATEADD(), DATEDIFF().
Mathematical Functions: ROUND(), CEIL(), FLOOR().
Conditional Functions: CASE, IF().
3. Joins and Relationships
INNER JOIN: Fetching rows with matching values in both tables.
LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN): Fetching all rows from the left table, with matching rows from the right.
RIGHT JOIN (RIGHT OUTER JOIN): Fetching all rows from the right table, with matching rows from the left.
FULL OUTER JOIN: Fetching rows where there is a match in one of the tables.
Self Join: Joining a table with itself.
Cross Join: Cartesian product of two tables.
Equi-join and Non-Equi Join.
4. Subqueries
Single-row Subqueries: Queries returning a single row.
Multi-row Subqueries: Queries returning multiple rows.
Correlated Subqueries: A subquery that references columns from the outer query.
EXISTS, NOT EXISTS: Checking the existence of records.
IN, NOT IN: Checking values within a set of values.
5. Indexes and Performance Tuning
Types of Indexes: Clustered vs. Non-clustered Indexes.
Creating and Dropping Indexes: CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX.
Impact of Indexes on Query Performance: When to use indexes, avoiding index overuse.
EXPLAIN/EXPLAIN PLAN: Understanding query execution plans.
Query Optimization Techniques: Avoiding full table scans, reducing joins, etc.
6. Transactions and ACID Properties
Transaction Control Statements: BEGIN, COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT.
ACID Properties: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability.
Isolation Levels: Read Uncommitted, Read Committed, Repeatable Read, Serializable.
Concurrency Control: Locking mechanisms, deadlocks, and how to avoid them.
7. Data Definition Language (DDL)
CREATE, ALTER, DROP: Creating and modifying tables and indexes.
Constraints: Primary Key, Foreign Key, Unique, Check, Default, and Not Null.
Normalization: First Normal Form (1NF), Second Normal Form (2NF), Third Normal Form (3NF), Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF).
Denormalization: Understanding when and why to denormalize.
8. Data Manipulation Language (DML)
INSERT: Inserting data into tables.
UPDATE: Modifying existing records.
DELETE vs TRUNCATE: Differences and use cases.
MERGE: Combining insert, update, and delete operations in one statement.
9. Data Control Language (DCL)
GRANT: Giving users permissions.
REVOKE: Removing permissions.
User Roles and Privileges: Role-based access control in databases.
10. Stored Procedures, Functions, and Triggers
Stored Procedures: Writing and executing stored procedures.
Functions: Creating and using user-defined functions.
Triggers: Automating actions with triggers (e.g., BEFORE INSERT, AFTER UPDATE).
11. Views
Creating Views: Simplifying complex queries using views.
Updatable Views: Conditions where a view can be updated.
Materialized Views: Using materialized views for performance optimization.
12. Temporary Tables and CTEs
Temporary Tables: Creating and using temporary tables.
Common Table Expressions (CTEs): Recursive and non-recursive CTEs for simplifying queries.
13. Handling Nulls
IS NULL, IS NOT NULL: Handling null values in queries.
NULL Functions: COALESCE(), NULLIF().
14. SQL Best Practices
SQL Injection Prevention: Writing secure SQL queries.
Query Efficiency: Writing readable and efficient SQL.
Batch Processing: Handling bulk operations efficiently.
Using Parameters: Safely including user inputs.
15. Advanced SQL Concepts
Window Functions: ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), DENSE_RANK(), NTILE(), LAG(), LEAD().
Partitioning: Horizontal partitioning (partition by range, list, etc.).
Data Warehousing Queries: Fact tables, dimension tables, star schema, snowflake schema.
Pivot and Unpivot: Transposing data in SQL.
Recursive Queries: Using recursion in CTEs.
JSON and XML Handling: Working with JSON/XML data types in SQL.
16. Database Design
Entity-Relationship Model: Defining entities, relationships, and keys.
Normalization vs. Denormalization: Deciding when to normalize or denormalize for performance.
Relational vs. NoSQL Databases: Understanding differences between SQL and NoSQL.
Participants will engage in extensive practice tests that simulate real-world scenarios and interview questions commonly asked by employers. Each section is structured to build upon the previous one, ensuring a gradual increase in complexity that allows learners to develop their skills systematically.
Throughout the course, students will explore essential topics including data retrieval using SELECT statements, data manipulation with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands, the intricacies of JOIN operations, and the application of aggregate functions. Additionally, learners will gain insights into performance tuning through indexing and transaction management while adhering to ACID properties.
By the end of this course, participants will not only be well-prepared for technical interviews but also equipped with practical skills applicable in any data-driven role.
