Converting numbers to dates using timestamps. - this is topic of Orcale SQL, but I guess I will get something related to SQL Server.

This is done using CTE - where we will keep doing some recursion until we are done

Along the course you will learn how to use T-SQL to solve practical problems such as:

Relational Division, Missing and Existing Ranges (Gaps and Islands),

Separating Elements, Pivoting and Unpivoting, Ranking and Offset, Running Totals, Moving

Averages, YTD, Custom Aggregations, Dynamic Analysis of Grouping Sets, TOP and

OFFSET-FETCH Problems,

Paging,

Data De-Duplication,

Handling Sequences,

Merging Data,

Treatment of Temporal Intervals (Intersection, Max Concurrent, Packing),

Dynamic Filtering,

Migrating On-Disk to Memory Optimized Data,

Internals and index tuning,

including coverage of Column store data, index access methods, temporary

tables,

set vs. cursors,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24168/why-are-relational-set-based-queries-better-than-cursors

Cursors enable manipulation of whole result sets at once. In this scenario, a cursor enables the rows in a result set to be processed sequentially. In SQL procedures, a cursor makes it possible to define a result set (a set of data rows) and perform complex logic on a row by row basis.

Advanced SQL

Advanced SQL consist of new queries in SQL

There is over 100 videos and interview questions on: https://www.youtube.com/user/kudvenkat

i want to master of joins, paritition, views, trigger, dynamicswql

what database do you practice?

functions, proc, in oracle pl sql

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/statements_10002.htm#i2077142

SELECT

The WITH query_name clause lets you assign a name to a subquery block. You can then reference the subquery block multiple places in the query by specifying query_name. Oracle Database optimizes the query by treating the query name as either an inline view or as a temporary table.

docs.oracle.com

i have both oracle sql and ms server 2008

try 2 question for today

1.

find the 2nd highest salary of employees table

2. list employees alongwith their manager in employees table

this was asked in interview with me in the currentjo

3. find information of those employees whose salary is greater than average salary of their respective departments

after that query that I sent you

it returns 1st row of each join no matter how many matches are there

if in two tables you only want to join first row and no other row

you need to use row_number, partition by and subquery

this question is trending now in interviews

select * from employees x, (select DEPARTMENT_ID,avg(salary) avg_salary from employees group by department_id) y where x.department_id=y.department_id and x.salary>y.avg_salary;

this is query to compare salary of each employee against avg salary of department and display only those with highest salary

can you write query to select max salary for each department?

using cte

WITH cteRowNum AS ( SELECT DeptID, EmpName, Salary, DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY DeptID ORDER BY Salary DESC) AS RowNum FROM EmpDetails ) SELECT DeptID, EmpName, Salary FROM cteRowNum WHERE RowNum = 1;

These analytical functions are known as window function in sql server
