Top 25 SQL Interview Questions and

Answers
There are certain SQL concepts which you should be familiar with if you plan to
attend an SQL interview. No matter which RDBMS you use wether it is MySQL, Oracle,
Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL or any other, these SQL concepts are common for
all of the popular RDBMS.

In this blog you would find 25 SQL theoretical questions which I strongly believe
would cover most of the SQL Questions that you can expect during your interview.
Now, I do not guarantee all your interview questions to be from this list but this list
should get you covered for most of the important and commonly asked SQL
interview questions.
