These are the most important one's which I tried to summarise in the best possible way, please let me know in the comments if I have missed something important.
1. What are the different subsets of SQL?
Data Definition Language (DDL) β It allows you to perform various operations on the database such as CREATE, ALTER, and DELETE objects.
Data Manipulation Language(DML) β It allows you to access and manipulate data. It helps you to insert, update, delete and retrieve data from the database.
Data Control Language(DCL) β It allows you to control access to the database. Example β Grant, Revoke access permissions.
2. List the different types of relationships in SQL.
There are different types of relations in the database:
One-to-One β This is a connection between two tables in which each record in one table corresponds to the maximum of one record in the other.
One-to-Many and Many-to-One β This is the most frequent connection, in which a record in one table is linked to several records in another.
Many-to-Many β This is used when defining a relationship that requires several instances on each sides.
Self-Referencing Relationships β When a table has to declare a connection with itself, this is the method to employ.
3. What is a Stored Procedure?
A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications that access a relational database management system (RDBMS). Such procedures are stored in the database data dictionary. The sole disadvantage of stored procedure is that it can be executed nowhere except in the database and occupies more memory in the database server.
4. What is Pattern Matching in SQL?
SQL pattern matching provides for pattern search in data if you have no clue as to what that word should be. This kind of SQL query uses wildcards to match a string pattern, rather than writing the exact word. The LIKE operator is used in conjunction with SQL Wildcards to fetch the required information.

1. How many report formats are available in Excel?
There are three report formats available in Excel; they are:
1. Compact Form
2. Outline Form
3. Tabular Form
2. What are sets in Tableau?
Sets are custom fields that define a subset of data based on some conditions. A set can be based on a computed condition, for example, a set may contain customers with sales over a certain threshold. Computed sets update as your data changes. Alternatively, a set can be based on specific data point in your view.
3. What is the difference between DROP and TRUNCATE commands?
DROP command removes a table and it cannot be rolled back from the database whereas TRUNCATE command removes all the rows from the table.
4. What is slicing in Python?
Ans: Slicing is used to access parts of sequences like lists, tuples, and strings. The syntax of slicing is-[start:end:step]. The step can be omitted as well. When we write [start:end] this returns all the elements of the sequence from the start (inclusive) till the end-1 element. If the start or end element is negative i, it means the ith element from the end.
5. What is the map() and filter() function in Python?
The map() function is a higher-order function. This function accepts another function and a sequence of βiterablesβ as parameters and provides output after applying the function to each iterable in the sequence. The filter() function is used to generate an output list of values that return true when the function is called.

SQL Interview Questions for 0-1 year of Experience (Asked in Top Product-Based Companies).
Sharpen your SQL skills with these real interview questions!
Q1. Customer Purchase Patterns - You have two tables, Customers and Purchases: CREATE TABLE Customers ( customer_id INT PRIMARY KEY, customer_name VARCHAR(255) ); CREATE TABLE Purchases ( purchase_id INT PRIMARY KEY, customer_id INT, product_id INT, purchase_date DATE ); Assume necessary INSERT statements are already executed.
Write an SQL query to find the names of customers who have purchased more than 5 different products within the last month. Order the result by customer_name.
Q2. Call Log Analysis -Suppose you have a CallLogs table: CREATE TABLE CallLogs ( log_id INT PRIMARY KEY, caller_id INT, receiver_id INT, call_start_time TIMESTAMP, call_end_time TIMESTAMP ); Assume necessary INSERT statements are already executed.
Write a query to find the average call duration per user. Include only users who have made more than 10 calls in total. Order the result by average duration descending.
Q3. Employee Project Allocation - Consider two tables, Employees and Projects: CREATE TABLE Employees ( employee_id INT PRIMARY KEY, employee_name VARCHAR(255), department VARCHAR(255) ); CREATE TABLE Projects ( project_id INT PRIMARY KEY, lead_employee_id INT, project_name VARCHAR(255), start_date DATE, end_date DATE ); Assume necessary INSERT statements are already executed.
The goal is to write an SQL query to find the names of employees who have led more than 3 projects in the last year. The result should be ordered by the number of projects led.

Q1: How do you ensure data consistency and integrity in a data warehousing environment?
Ans:
I implement data validation checks, use constraints like primary and foreign keys, and ensure that ETL processes have error-handling mechanisms. Regular audits and data reconciliation processes are also set up to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
Q2: Describe a situation where you had to design a star schema for a data warehousing project.
Ans:
For a retail sales data warehousing project, I designed a star schema with a central fact table containing sales transactions. Surrounding this were dimension tables like Products, Stores, Time, and Customers. This structure allowed for efficient querying and reporting of sales metrics across various dimensions.
Q3: How would you use data analytics to assess credit risk for loan applicants?
Ans:
I'd analyze the applicant's financial history, including credit score, income, employment stability, and existing debts. Using predictive modeling, I'd assess the probability of default based on historical data of similar applicants. This would help in making informed lending decisions.
Q4: Describe a situation where you had to ensure data security for sensitive financial data.
Ans:
While working on a project involving customer transaction data, I ensured that all data was encrypted both at rest and in transit. I also implemented role-based access controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel could access specific data sets. Regular audits and penetration tests were conducted to identify and rectify potential vulnerabilities.
