Frequently asked

What SQL topics are asked in interviews?

Overwhelmingly: SELECT and filtering, JOINs of every kind, GROUP BY with aggregations, subqueries, CTEs and window functions. Window functions and the analytics patterns built on them — running totals, rankings, gaps and islands — are what separate an intermediate answer from a strong one, and they are the most common gap.

How many SQL questions should I practise for interviews?

Coverage matters more than volume. The 110 queries on this sheet span every category that comes up, and working through them once with the solutions read properly is worth more than several hundred repetitions of basic SELECT statements.

Do I need SQL for a software engineering interview?

For backend, data and analytics roles, yes, and often as a dedicated round. For frontend and mobile roles it is usually lighter but still appears, most often as basic JOINs and aggregation. Data roles go deepest — expect window functions and query optimisation.

What is the difference between the SQL round and the DBMS round?

The SQL round asks you to write queries. The DBMS round asks theory — normalisation, indexing, ACID properties, transactions and isolation levels. They are usually separate and both come up, so prepare the theory alongside the queries.

Is this SQL sheet free?

Yes. Every query, its worked solution, the written guides and the progress tracking are free with no account required. Progress saves in your browser; signing in only adds syncing across devices.
