What Is Inside?

We have prepared a set of practical SQL exercises, divided into three parts.

First, you practice window functions on data from an online store. You have to rank products, compute statistics for customers and their typical order size, divide customers into categories, etc. It can’t be more real! These are examples you can apply in your own projects.

Later, we take you to the running track. Relax, you won't have to sweat, although the tasks are not easy. You use the window functions to analyze the results of sports competitions. What was the average pace for the 10000 m run? Check on your own!

If you run a blog, you may like the third part of our SQL course. Here, you look at traffic data from a blog of an online pet product store. Help its creators select the most popular thematic categories or the authors most liked by the readers. Our exercises contain ready-made SQL queries you can use in your everyday work. Just change the data and you are ready to go!

This window functions course will make you:

1. Review the syntax of SQL window functions.
