This document summarizes various SQL concepts: 1) It discusses non-correlated subqueries, UNION queries to combine result sets, and table-valued functions with CROSS APPLY to invoke the function for each row. 2) It demonstrates EXCEPT and INTERSECT to compare results between two tables, CUBE and ROLLUP to add hierarchical data summaries when grouping, and hints to override the query optimizer. 3) JOIN hints are discussed to force a specific join type, and table hints like NOLOCK are presented to modify query behavior.
