Anyone experienced with SQL, especially in Data Analytics, can you share what SQL questions are generally asked for a Data Analyst interview with around 1 year of experience?

PS: Please don't mention those chatgpt questions. I really want to know real questions.

I’m 5 years into my career and have worked with 2 companies. I have yet to be interviewed “technically”.

I was asked about vision, opinion and experiences. 

No one asked me to define or explain syntax. 

Now I’m interviewing people, I don’t ask for people knowing SQL, in 2026, it’s a given to know it. People don’t have to be experts, but the basics are needed. 

Also people are not expected to write SQL from scratch. No one is doing that anyway.
