Domande per il Colloquio di Data Analyst Senior: Guida Completa

-- ROW_NUMBER: Assegna numeri univoci
SELECT 
    employee_id,
    first_name,
    salary,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) AS row_num
FROM employees;

-- RANK: Classifica i dipendenti per stipendio all'interno di ogni dipartimento
SELECT 
    department,
    employee_id,
    salary,
    RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) AS dept_rank
FROM employees;

-- LAG: Confronta con la riga precedente

    LAG(revenue) OVER (ORDER BY year) AS prev_year_revenue,
    revenue - LAG(revenue) OVER (ORDER BY year) AS revenue_change
FROM annual_sales;

-- Totale parziale
SELECT

    amount,
    SUM(amount) OVER (ORDER BY order_date) AS running_total

-- Media mobile (ultimi 3 mesi)

        ORDER BY month 
        ROWS BETWEEN 2 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW

-- Sbagliato: SELECT * e subquery
SELECT * FROM orders
WHERE customer_id IN (
    SELECT customer_id FROM customers WHERE country = 'USA'
);

-- Giusto: Colonne specifiche e JOIN
SELECT o.order_id, o.order_date, o.amount
FROM orders o
INNER JOIN customers c ON o.customer_id = c.customer_id
WHERE c.country = 'USA';

-- Usa EXPLAIN per analizzare
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date > '2023-01-01';

-- Crea un indice per prestazioni migliori
CREATE INDEX idx_order_date ON orders(order_date);

-- Usa un indice di copertura (include tutte le colonne necessarie)
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_covering ON orders(customer_id, order_date, amount);

-- UNION - rimuove i duplicati
SELECT customer_id FROM orders_2022
UNION

-- UNION ALL - mantiene i duplicati
SELECT customer_id FROM orders_2022
