Advanced Queries
Complex SQL operations
1What Are Advanced Queries?✨
Advanced queries in SQL allow you to perform complex operations on your data. They help you extract valuable insights and manipulate data in powerful ways!
2Why Learn Advanced Queries?🎯
- ✓ Combine data from multiple tables
- ✓ Filter and sort data efficiently
- ✓ Use subqueries for enhanced functionality
- ✓ Perform aggregations and calculations
3Joining Tables💡
Joining tables lets you combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column. Here’s an example using INNER JOIN:
4SELECT students.name, courses.course_name🚀
FROM students
INNER JOIN enrollments ON students.id = enrollments.student_id
INNER JOIN courses ON enrollments.course_id = courses.id;This query shows student names along with the courses they are enrolled in.
5Using Subqueries🔍
Subqueries are queries nested inside another query. They can help you filter results based on other data. Here’s an example:
6SELECT name⭐
FROM students
WHERE id IN (SELECT student_id FROM enrollments WHERE course_id = 3);This retrieves names of students enrolled in the course with ID 3.
7Aggregating Data🧩
Aggregating functions help summarize data. You can use functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, etc. Here’s an example that counts the number of students in each course:
8SELECT course_id, COUNT(student_id) AS total_students🎈
- FROM enrollments
- GROUP BY course_id;
This gives you the total number of students per course.
9Filtering with HAVING✨
The HAVING clause is used to filter records after aggregation. It’s great for refining your grouped results. For example:
10SELECT course_id, COUNT(student_id) AS total_students🎯
- FROM enrollments
- GROUP BY course_id
- HAVING total_students > 5;
This query finds courses with more than 5 students enrolled.
