These are notes for the Advanced SQL for Professional Devlopers course on by Tyler Clark.

They are designed to be studied along side the course. Please add to them and put in a PR, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

You've got some practice with using SQL to select, update, and join database tables.

But perhaps you've found yourself with a sneaking suspicion that you could be more efficient with your PostgreSQL.

Does your query seem slow?

A lesson on how to profile queries will point you in the direction of a fix.

Are you performing multi-step operations one at a time that are susceptible to errors?

The "all or nothing" transaction is the cure.

These are just a couple of examples of the techniques, tips, and tricks that Tyler Clark has learned in his years of experience working on large scale production applications.

Other topics in this course include working with CSV files, different techniques for aggregating & filtering, and more!

Watch Tyler's course, and continue your journey toward SQL mastery.

• Bulk insert and export from csv
• Casting types in SQL
• Define Custom Types (like ENUMs) for data integrity
• Analyze query performance for optimal queries
• Write concise queries with CTE's (Common Table Expressions) and do/declare blocks
• Filter Aggregate data with having
• Guarantee database interactions with Transactions
• Complex pattern matching

These are the questions that you ask yourself to understand better the content in front of you and connect these ideas to what you have learned in the past.

How does database architecture affect your sql queries?

How much, as a web developer, is this going to be applicable to me?

When should I performance tune my queries?
