Beginner’s Guide to SQL and Data

Analysis
Introduction
Structured Query Language (SQL) is the foundation of modern data analysis. This guide
introduces SQL basics with practical examples.

Basic Syntax
Key commands: SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY. Example:
SELECT name, age FROM Students WHERE age > 16;

Aggregations
Functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG allow analysts to summarize data. Example: SELECT
AVG(salary) FROM Employees WHERE department='Finance';

Joins
INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN combine data across tables. Example:
SELECT Students.name, Grades.score FROM Students INNER JOIN Grades ON
Students.id=Grades.id;

SQL and Business Intelligence


SQL integrates with Power BI, Tableau, and Excel. Analysts often use SQL to prepare
datasets for visualization.

Practice Exercises
1) Find the top 5 highest-paid employees.
2) Count the number of students per grade.
3) Join two tables to find which customers purchased which products.
