📌 Topics Covered:
- The Big Three: Mastering SELECT (specifying columns), FROM (choosing the table), and DISTINCT (removing duplicate rows from your results).
- Advanced Filtering (WHERE):
- IN: Selecting values that match any item in a specified list.
- BETWEEN: Filtering for data within a specific numerical or date range.
- LIKE: Using “wildcards” (%) to search for patterns (e.g., finding all product names starting with “Denim”).
- Result Control: Using ORDER BY to sort data (ASC/DESC) and LIMIT to specify the exact number of rows to return.
- Data Presentation:
- Alias (AS): Renaming columns or tables temporarily for better readability.
- Calculated Columns: Performing math directly in the query (e.g., Price * Quantity).
- Round: Limiting the decimal places of numerical outputs for cleaner reporting.
📝 Class Summary: This module focuses on the “Querying Essentials,” teaching students how to write clean, efficient code to extract specific subsets of data and present them in a professional, human-readable format.
✅ What You Will Learn:
- How to eliminate noise from your analysis by using DISTINCT to see only unique categories.
- The methodology for Pattern Matching with LIKE, essential for cleaning messy text data.
- How to create Calculated Columns to generate real-time KPIs without modifying the underlying database.
- Techniques for Sorting and Capping results to identify top-performing products or recent transactions.
