About the SQL test
The SQL test is designed to assess a candidate's proficiency in using Structured Query Language (SQL) to manage and manipulate databases. It evaluates candidates' ability to write SQL queries for retrieving, updating, and manipulating data, as well as their understanding of database design and normalization principles.
The test covers various SQL statements, such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and JOIN, alongside more advanced topics like subqueries, aggregation, and indexing. A key focus is on the candidate's ability to optimize queries for performance and structure databases for scalability and efficiency.
Candidates are also tested on their troubleshooting skills, ensuring they can identify and resolve errors in SQL queries and optimize complex queries for speed and accuracy. The test includes real-world database problems that challenge candidates to design queries based on given schemas or business requirements, evaluating their knowledge of relational database management systems (RDBMS), schema design, and data manipulation techniques.
