This course helps you prepare for advanced SQL interviews using MySQL 8.0 through hands-on, interview-style exercises.
Firstly, you’ll work with transaction-focused questions, covering topics such as concurrency and correctness, including transactions, savepoints, isolation behavior, and locking reads. Afterward, you will work with advanced SQL programming tasks using stored routines, variables, loops, and cursors. Next, you will solve analytical and reporting problems using CTEs and window functions. You will also focus on query optimization by analyzing execution plans and applying performance tuning techniques.
By the end of the course, you will be comfortable with practical topics employers expect at senior levels, including SQL modes, permissions, and reliable data import and export workflows.
