Difference between Equi Join and Non-Equi Join in SQL with Examples

Hello guys, If you want to learn about the difference between Equi and Non-Equi join in SQL then you have come to the right place. Earlier, I have shared the difference between LEFT and RIGHT join in SQL and now we will understand equi and non-equi join in SQL and database. The term "Non-Equi join" in SQL Server may sound abstract, but it's far from it. Equi joins are the same way. I think you'll agree with me after reading this essay. I'll attempt to explain what they are and when they should be used today. So, let's get this party started.

Transposing data in SQL - Example Tutorial

What is Transposition?

A transposition is when data is rotated from one row or column to another in order to modify the data layout and make observations from a different perspective. Row to the column, column to column, and bidirectional transposition are examples of basic transposition algorithms. Others, such as dynamic transposition, transposition with inter-row computations, and join-based transposition, are more complicated. All are prevalent in data analytics and so worthy of investigation.

How to Order results in SQL query? ORDER BY Example Tutorial

SQL isn't a standard programming language in the sense that it doesn't require you to write a set of instructions in a specific order. Instead, SQL is a "declarative" language, which means that when you write a SQL query, you state what data you want to get as a result of the query but not how you'll get it.

MySQL vs PostgreSQL? Pros and Cons

Which database to choose?

When establishing a new project, especially one on the Web, choosing a database management system is frequently an afterthought. Most frameworks include an object-relational mapping (ORM) tool that hides the differences across platforms and makes them all run at the same speed. 

Using the default choice (in most situations, MySQL) is seldom a bad idea, but it's worth thinking about. Don't get caught up in familiarity and comfort — a smart developer must constantly make educated selections based on the many possibilities, their pros, and downsides.

What is Virtual columns in MySQL and How to use it? Example Tutorial

 What is a Virtual Column and where is it used?

Virtual/generated columns are a new feature in MySQL 5.7. Because the data in this column is computed based on a specified expression or from other columns, it is called a generated column.

Virtual columns resemble regular table columns in appearance, but their values are generated rather than saved on a disc.

Virtual columns are one of MySQL 5.7's most useful features; they allow you to store a value in a new field that is derived from one or more other fields in the same table.

How to find Nth Highest Salary in SQL? Example Tutorial

The Problem description

Finding the Nth highest salary of workers, where N might be 2, 3, 4, or anything, is one of the most typical SQL interview questions. This query is sometimes rephrased as "find the nth minimal wage in SQL." Many programmers struggle to design the SQL query when the Interviewer keeps asking for the 4th highest, 5th highest, and so on since they only know the easiest approach to address this problem, like by utilizing the SQL IN clause, which doesn't scale well.
