The questions outlined below include example solutions confirmed to work in PostgreSQL. I’ve found this to be a more satisfying learning experience. Locally executing a query, on the other hand, is instantaneous and allows for rapid iteration through syntax bugs and intermediate tables. In addition, running SQL queries in your browser can be extremely slow - the data sets are large and retrieval speed is often throttled for non-premium users. LeetCode, for instance, doesn’t support the use of window functions and hides its most interesting questions behind a paywall. Web-based SQL training resources fall short along a few dimensions. You can query against the input table using PSequel (shown above) and easily construct new tables for your own problems using this template. The first block of text in each query shown below establishes the input table and follows the format: WITH input_table (column_1, column_2) AS (VALUES (1, 'A'), (2, 'B')) Try these queries yourself using PSequel and the input tables provided below.

PSequel is only available for Mac - if you’re using a PC, you can try one of these Windows alternatives. You can try these out yourself by downloading PostgreSQL and PSequel (see this tutorial for a step-by-step installation guide) and then running the queries shown in the grey boxes in the text below. Datetime operations (EXTRACT(month/day/year)).Arithmetic operations and comparisons (+, -, *, /, //, ^,, =, !=).Formatting (LIMIT, ORDER BY, casting as an integer, float, or date, CONCAT, COALESCE).Window functions (RANK, DENSE_RANK, ROW_NUMBER, SUM with PARTITION BY - ORDER BY).Conditional statements (CASE - WHEN - THEN - ELSE - END).

Joins (INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN on one or multiple (in)equalities, CROSS JOIN, UNION and UNION ALL).Aggregation (GROUP BY with COUNT, SUM, AVERAGE).Filtering (DISTINCT, WHERE, HAVING, AND, OR, IN, NOT IN).

Creating and aliasing (WITH, AS, GENERATE_SERIES).These questions cover the following critical concepts: To complement SQL training resources ( PGExercises, LeetCode, HackerRank, Mode) available on the web, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite questions that you can tackle by hand or solve with a PostgreSQL instance. Gaining working proficiency in SQL is an important prerequisite for many technology jobs and requires a bit of practice. Structured query language (SQL) is used to retrieve and manipulate data stored in relational databases.
