# Databases & SQL Skill

## Overview
Master SQL and database concepts essential for data analysts, from basic queries to advanced optimization and data warehousing.

## Core Topics

### SQL Fundamentals
- SELECT, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY
- JOINs (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL)
- GROUP BY and aggregate functions
- Subqueries and CTEs

### Advanced SQL
- Window functions (ROW_NUMBER, RANK, LAG, LEAD)
- Recursive queries
- Query optimization and execution plans
- Index strategies

### Database Concepts
- Relational database design principles
- Normalization and denormalization
- Data warehousing concepts (star schema, snowflake)
- ETL processes

### Popular Platforms
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- SQL Server
- BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake

## Learning Objectives
- Write efficient SQL queries for data extraction
- Understand database design and optimization
- Work with cloud data warehouses
- Implement ETL processes for analytics pipelines

## Error Handling

| Error Type | Cause | Recovery |
|------------|-------|----------|
| Syntax error | Invalid SQL | Validate query syntax before execution |
| Timeout | Long-running query | Add indexes, optimize query |
| Connection failed | Network/auth issue | Retry with exponential backoff |
| Permission denied | Access rights | Request appropriate permissions |
| Deadlock | Concurrent transactions | Retry transaction |
