📌 Roadmap for RDBMS & SQL Mastery

1. Fundamentals of RDBMS
 What is a Database? Why use RDBMS?
 Difference between DBMS and RDBMS
 Data models (Relational, Hierarchical, Network, NoSQL vs SQL)
 Database Schema & Instances
 Keys: Primary, Foreign, Candidate, Composite, Super keys
 Constraints: NOT NULL, UNIQUE, CHECK, DEFAULT
 ER (Entity-Relationship) Model
 Normalization (1NF, 2NF, 3NF, BCNF)
 Denormalization & when to use
 ACID Properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability)

2. SQL Basics
 SQL vs NoSQL
 Data Types in SQL (INT, VARCHAR, DATE, DECIMAL, BOOLEAN, etc.)
 DDL (Data Definition Language)
o CREATE, ALTER, DROP
 DML (Data Manipulation Language)
o INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
 DQL (Data Query Language)
o SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, LIMIT, DISTINCT
 DCL & TCL (GRANT, REVOKE, COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT)

3. SQL Joins & Subqueries


 Types of Joins
o INNER JOIN
o LEFT JOIN / RIGHT JOIN
o FULL OUTER JOIN
o SELF JOIN
o CROSS JOIN
 Subqueries
o Single-row subquery
o Multi-row subquery (IN, ANY, ALL)
o Correlated subquery
 EXISTS vs IN
4. SQL Clauses & Functions
 GROUP BY, HAVING
 Aggregate Functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX)
 Scalar Functions (UPPER, LOWER, LENGTH, ROUND, NOW, DATE_FORMAT)
 CASE WHEN (Conditional expressions)
 COALESCE, NULLIF
 String Functions (CONCAT, SUBSTR, REPLACE)
 Date & Time Functions (NOW, DATEDIFF, EXTRACT)

5. Advanced SQL
 Window Functions (OVER, PARTITION BY, ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK)
 CTE (Common Table Expressions) & RECURSIVE CTE
 Views (CREATE VIEW, DROP VIEW)
 Indexes (Clustered, Non-clustered, Unique Index)
 Stored Procedures & Functions
 Triggers
 Transactions (COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT)
 Locking & Concurrency (Shared lock, Exclusive lock, Deadlocks)

6. Database Design & Optimization


 Schema design principles
 Query optimization
o Execution plans
o Index optimization
o Avoiding SELECT *
 Partitioning & Sharding basics
 Denormalization for performance
 Caching strategies

7. System Design & Real-World Databases

 OLTP vs OLAP databases
 Data Warehousing concepts
 Star & Snowflake schema
 SQL vs NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis comparison)
8. SQL for Interviews (DSA in SQL)
 Write queries for:
o Top N (Nth highest salary, etc.)
o Duplicate detection
o Running totals
o Moving averages
o Employee-manager hierarchy queries
o String pattern matching
