01 · THE PREPARATION METHOD
Study with the discipline of a university seminar.
This guide is organised around the way strong candidates prepare: understand the concept, explain the reasoning, connect it to a practical situation, and communicate the answer clearly.
“The goal is not to memorise more. The goal is to answer with structure, accuracy, and confidence.”
02 · CURRICULUM
A complete preparation syllabus.
Core concepts, practical scenarios, and interview communication—arranged for focused revision rather than random browsing.
Joins & set logic
Inner and outer joins, self joins, UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT, duplicates, and common result-set mistakes.
CTEs & window functions
Ranking, running totals, LAG/LEAD, partitions, recursive CTEs, and interview-ready use cases.
Stored programming
Stored procedures, functions, views, temp objects, dynamic SQL, transactions, and error handling.
Performance tuning
Indexes, execution plans, statistics, SARGability, parameter sensitivity, blocking, and query optimisation.
Practical SQL problems
Duplicates, nth-highest values, gaps and islands, latest records, reconciliation, and production scenarios.
03 · SAMPLE TUTORIAL
See how one strong answer is built.
Select a question to move from interviewer intent to a concise, defensible response.
WHERE vs HAVING?
HIGH-VALUE QUESTIONWhether you understand when filtering happens and how aggregation changes the available rows.
Define each clause → explain execution stage → give one grouped-query example.
WHERE filters individual rows before grouping, while HAVING filters groups after aggregation. I use WHERE whenever the condition can be applied before GROUP BY because it reduces the rows processed. HAVING is required for aggregate conditions, such as returning departments whose total sales exceed a threshold.
04 · LEARNING OUTCOMES
Knowledge that becomes interview performance.
Use the guide to move from passive reading to clear explanations, relevant examples, and practical problem solving.
Explain core SQL concepts without vague definitions
Solve common query problems with a repeatable method
Read execution-plan evidence before suggesting tuning
Discuss transactions, blocking, and errors confidently
Connect answers to realistic database work
Revise high-value topics in a focused sequence
05 · SEVEN-DAY REVISION PLAN
Prepare in a clear sequence.
One focused stage each day, ending with self-testing and final revision.
Core query logic
Execution order, filters, NULLs, grouping, and subqueries.
Joins & sets
Join behaviour, duplicates, anti-joins, and set operators.
Advanced querying
CTEs, windows, ranking, and analytical patterns.
Database objects
Procedures, functions, views, temp objects, and dynamic SQL.
Reliability
Transactions, isolation, errors, blocking, and deadlocks.
Performance
Indexes, plans, statistics, SARGability, and tuning method.
Mock revision
Write solutions, speak answers aloud, and review weak areas.
