LeetCode SQL Summary

Last updated on August 8, 2021, covered 106 LeetCode SQL questions

WIP

• Update new SQL questions (Estimated Time: 31 August, 2021)
• Rearrange the repository (Estimated Time: 25 September, 2021 - My Brithday :D)
  1. Only one solution folder will be kept
  2. Update solution link
  3. Add Column "Topic" for LeetCode SQL Questions by ID

Intro

After finishing all 102 LeetCode SQL questions, I feel it could be good to summarize all questions by topics.

This note aims to help people learn and review SQL effeciently, espeically when trying to have a quick catch up on a certain topic, e.g. complex join, window function, recursive CTE and etc. If you would like to try questions by ID, you could jump to LeetCode SQL Questions by ID where I list all questions coverred in this repository.

And for the first draft, I mainly focus on T-SQL/MS SQL Server.
