DQL (Data Query Language)

Data Query Language (DQL) is a subset of SQL focused on retrieving data from a database without modifying it. The primary command in DQL is SELECT, which allows users to specify which columns to retrieve and from which table, optionally applying conditions for filtering results. DQL is essential for querying and extracting information from databases for various purposes, such as reporting and analysis. It provides powerful capabilities for searching, sorting, and aggregating data to meet specific requirements.

SELECT: The SELECT statement retrieves data from the table.

SELECT employee_id, first_name, last_name FROM employees WHERE department = 'Sales';

In this example, we're selecting the employee ID, first name, and last name of employees who work in the 'Sales' department from the 'employees' table. This query will return a list of employees' details who are part of the sales department.

SQL Fundamentals

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the go-to language for managing relational databases. It allows users to interact with databases to retrieve, manipulate, and control data efficiently. SQL provides a standardized way to define database structures, perform data operations, and ensure data integrity. From querying data to managing access and transactions, SQL is a fundamental tool for anyone working with databases. 1. Basics of SQL Introduction : SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for managing and manipulating relational databases. SQL Syntax : Basic structure of SQL statements (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Data Types : Different types of data that can be stored (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE). 2. SQL Commands DDL (Data Definition Language) : CREATE TABLE : Define new tables. ALTER TABLE : Modify existing tables. DROP TABLE : Delete tables. DML (Data Manipulation Language) : INSERT : Add new records. UPDATE : Modify existing records. DELETE : Remove records. DQL (Da...

DAX Functions

These are just some of the many DAX functions available in Power BI. Each  function serves a specific purpose and can be used to perform a wide range of calculations and transformations on your data. Aggregation Functions: SUM : Calculates the sum of values. AVERAGE : Calculates the arithmetic mean of values. MIN : Returns the smallest value in a column. MAX : Returns the largest value in a column. COUNT : Counts the number of rows in a table or column. COUNTA : Counts the number of non-blank values in a column. DISTINCTCOUNT : Counts the number of unique values in a column. Logical Functions: IF : Returns one value if a condition is true and another value if it's false. AND : Returns TRUE if all the conditions are true, otherwise FALSE. OR : Returns TRUE if any of the conditions are true, otherwise FALSE. NOT : Returns the opposite of a logical value. Text Functions: CONCATENATE : Concatenates strings together. LEFT : Returns the leftmost characters from a text string. RIGHT : Ret...
