Making SQL more efficient, readable, and easier to debug

Turning your thoughts into a SQL query, no matter how long it takes you, is a significant accomplishment.

I've recently realized the I need to make my code more efficient, readable, and easier to debug. If you're having this same realization, join me in a free SQL workshop, SQL Patterns Every Analyst Should Know, on October 13th!

We'll learn from Ergest Xheblati, Author of Minimum Viable SQL Patterns , as he teaches:

  • Query composition patterns - How to make your complex queries shorter, more legible, and more performant
  • Query maintainability patterns - Constructing CTEs that can be reused. In software engineering, it's called the DRY principle (don't repeat yourself)
  • Query robustness patterns - Constructing queries that don't break when the underlying data changes in unpredictable ways
  • Query performance patterns - Make your queries faster (and cheaper) regardless of specific database you’re using
  • Answers to your questions - Ask Ergest whatever you'd like in the live and interactive Q&A

Also, if there's any resources that have helped you make your code more efficient and readable, please share it w/ me!
