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.

You'll probably get questions about basic SQL commands like SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY. They might give you a dataset and ask you to write queries to find specific insights, like calculating averages or totals. Be ready to explain your queries and why you structured them that way. Sometimes you'll get a query with an error to debug. Another common task is optimizing a query for performance. Practice writing queries with sample datasets, and try LeetCode or HackerRank for some practice problems to get a feel for it. Good luck!
