What will you learn: Frequently asked Interview Questions with solutions + DDL | DML SQL with full explanation.


  • SQL is broadly categorized into DDL (Data Definition Language) and DML (Data Manipulation Language).

  • DDL is used to define and modify structures like databases, schemas, and tables.

  • Commands like CREATE, DROP, ALTER, and RENAME are all part of DDL.

  • DML is used for manipulating data inside tables—using SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.

  • A database is a structured container where all schemas, tables, and other objects are stored.

  • A schema is like a folder inside a database that helps logically organize related database objects.

  • A table is a set of rows and columns designed to store actual data records.

  • Every table must have column names, data types, and optional constraints like PRIMARY KEY, NOT NULL, or UNIQUE.

  • Use CREATE TABLE to build new tables and DROP TABLE to delete them permanently.

  • Avoid using spaces and reserved keywords in table or column names; use consistent naming conventions.

  • One project focused on Update_SQL_CustomerTable_ShowDiscount, updating customers’ discount values dynamically.

  • Another project updated customer order quantities based on recent sales or category.

  • We used SP_RENAME to rename columns—ensuring backward compatibility without losing data.

  • We practiced solving real SQL interview questions that appear commonly in job scenarios.

  • How to find the 4th highest ID in a table using subqueries or ROW_NUMBER().

  • How to retrieve the Nth highest ID, customizable using dynamic ranking logic.

  • How to identify employees who entered twice consecutively using LAG() or self-joins.

  • Find customers who appeared at least three times consecutively, showing repeat behaviors.

  • Write queries to count employees who got more incentives than their managers using joins.
