  • Create single table SELECT queries
  • Create multiple table SELECT queries
  • Filter and sort data
  • Insert, update, and delete data
  • Query data using built-in functions
  • Create queries that aggregate data
  • Create subqueries
  • Create queries that use table expressions
  • Use UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT on multiple sets of data
  • Implement window functions in queries
  • Use PIVOT and GROUPING SETS in queries
  • Use stored procedures in queries
  • Add error handling to queries
  • Use transactions in queries
