Part 1: Refining Your Queries to Get the Results You Need

The goal of the four chapters in this part is to help you become a more efficient query writer. One of the areas we commonly see where people struggle is building queries to get the results that they need without including additional content in their query results just because they might need it later:

  • Chapter 1, Reducing Rows and Columns in Your Result Sets
  • Chapter 2, Efficiently Aggregating Data in Your Results
  • Chapter 3, Formatting Your Results for Easier Consumption
  • Chapter 4, Manipulating Your Data Results Using Conditional SQL
