- Writing simple SQL queries which isolate exactly the data desired, and then format and sort the data as needed.
- Writing moderately complex SQL queries using various join techniques.
- Supplement SQL code with references to pseudo columns and system functions.
- Summarizing, grouping and combining data to obtain more meaningful query results and to allow one to draw conclusions and make business decisions based upon the data processed.
- Advanced query techniques such as set operations, sub-queries and summary functions, allowing one to solve some of the more complex theoretical query challenges.
- Creating and maintaining database tables using the SQL Data Definition Language (DDL).
