Must-know advanced SQL concepts

This section will explore advanced SQL concepts that will elevate your data engineering skills to the next level. These concepts will empower you to tackle complex data analysis, perform advanced data transformations, and optimize your SQL queries.

Let’s delve into must-know advanced SQL concepts, as follows:

  • Window functions: These do a calculation on a group of rows that are related to the current row. They are needed for more complex analyses, such as figuring out running totals or moving averages, which are common tasks in data engineering.
  • Subqueries: Queries nested within other queries. They provide a powerful way to perform complex data extraction, transformation, and analysis, often making your code more efficient and readable.
  • Common Table Expressions (CTEs): CTEs can simplify complex queries and make your code more maintainable. They are also essential for recursive queries, which are sometimes necessary for problems...
