SQL Name Swap Query

write sql query where name should get swapped till th end of the table

If you want to cyclically swap the `name` column values in a table until the end, you can use a query like
this in SQL:

Example:

sql

WITH Swapped AS (
SELECT id,
LEAD(name) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS new_name
FROM your_table
)
UPDATE your_table y
JOIN Swapped s ON y.id = s.id
SET y.name = COALESCE(s.new_name, (SELECT name FROM your_table ORDER BY id LIMIT 1));

Explanation:

1. The `LEAD(name) OVER (ORDER BY id)` function shifts each `name` to the next row.
2. The last row gets the first row's `name` (cyclic swap).
3. The `UPDATE` statement updates each row accordingly.

in emp table,write sql query to print detail to nth highest salary, where n is variable where we can
give values fo different n value

To get the details of the N-th highest salary from the `emp` table dynamically, you can use the `LIMIT`
and `OFFSET` clause or the `DENSE_RANK()` function.

Using `LIMIT` and `OFFSET` (MySQL, PostgreSQL)

sql

SET @n = 3; -- Change this value for different N

SELECT *
FROM emp
ORDER BY salary DESC
LIMIT 1 OFFSET @n-1;

This query sorts salaries in descending order and uses `LIMIT 1 OFFSET (N-1)` to fetch the N-th
highest salary.

Using `DENSE_RANK()` (Works in SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL)

sql

DECLARE @n INT = 3; -- Change as needed

WITH RankedEmp AS (
SELECT *, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rnk
FROM emp
)
SELECT * FROM RankedEmp WHERE rnk = @n;

`DENSE_RANK()` assigns a rank to salaries, and we filter rows where `rnk = N`.

pyspark job running slowe han expected,wha will be use

If your PySpark job is running slower than expected, you can optimize it using the following
techniques:

1. Optimize Data Partitioning

Increase or decrease the number of partitions based on data size:

python

df = df.repartition(100) # Adjust based on cluster size

Use `coalesce()` to reduce partitions when writing:

python

df.coalesce(10).write.mode("overwrite").parquet("output_path")

2. Use Efficient File Formats

Prefer Parquet or ORC over CSV:

python

df.write.format("parquet").save("output_path")

3. Use `persist()` or `cache()` Wisely

Cache only if reused multiple times:

python

df.persist()

4. Avoid Shuffling as Much as Possible

Use broadcast join for small tables:

python

from pyspark.sql.functions import broadcast


df_large.join(broadcast(df_small), "key")

Use `mapPartitions()` instead of `map()` for better efficiency.

5. Optimize Spark Configurations

Set proper executor memory and cores in `spark-submit`:

bash

spark-submit --executor-memory 8G --executor-cores 4 --num-executors 10 job.py

extarct and analyze slaes data for large rigional database.what are diff optimization tehnie written
in sql nd perfrom optimization

When extracting and analyzing sales data from a large regional database, optimization is crucial to
improve query performance. Below are different SQL optimization techniques along with their
implementation:

1. Use Proper Indexing


Create indexes on frequently filtered/joined columns to speed up queries.
Example:

sql

CREATE INDEX idx_sales_date ON sales (sale_date);


CREATE INDEX idx_sales_region ON sales (region_id);

Use Composite Index when multiple columns are used in filtering.

sql

CREATE INDEX idx_sales_region_date ON sales (region_id, sale_date);

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/6
2. Use Partitioning for Large Tables
Partitioning improves query performance by scanning only relevant data.
Example: Partition by Sale Date

sql

CREATE TABLE sales_partitioned (


sale_id INT,
region_id INT,
sale_date DATE,
amount DECIMAL(10,2)
) PARTITION BY RANGE (sale_date) (
PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN ('2024-01-01'),
PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN ('2025-01-01')
);

3. Use Efficient Joins


Use INNER JOIN instead of OUTER JOIN when possible.
Use HASH JOIN for large tables (available in PostgreSQL, SQL Server).

sql

SELECT s.*, r.region_name


FROM sales s
INNER HASH JOIN regions r ON s.region_id = r.region_id;

4. Use Aggregation Efficiently


Use GROUP BY with proper indexing:

sql

SELECT region_id, SUM(amount) AS total_sales


FROM sales
WHERE sale_date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'
GROUP BY region_id;

Use Window Functions for Better Performance:

sql

SELECT region_id, sale_date,


SUM(amount) OVER (PARTITION BY region_id ORDER BY sale_date) AS running_total
FROM sales;

5. Optimize Query Execution Plan


Check Execution Plan to identify bottlenecks.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 4/6
sql

EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT * FROM sales WHERE sale_date > '2024-01-01';

Look for Index Scan vs. Full Table Scan and optimize accordingly.

6. Avoid SELECT * (Fetch Only Required Columns)


Fetching unnecessary columns increases memory usage.

sql

SELECT region_id, sale_date, amount FROM sales;

7. Use Caching for Repeated Queries


In MySQL, use Query Cache (if enabled).
In PostgreSQL, use Materialized Views:

sql

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW sales_summary AS


SELECT region_id, SUM(amount) AS total_sales
FROM sales GROUP BY region_id;

Final Optimization

If working with large-scale sales data, combining indexing, partitioning, proper joins, and
execution plan analysis can significantly improve performance.

product manager requested last minute change.how will u handle iy

If a Product Manager requests a last-minute change, I would handle it efficiently using the following
approach:

1. Understand the Change Request

Discuss with the Product Manager to understand the exact requirement.


Assess the urgency, scope, and impact on the existing pipeline or deployment.

2. Evaluate Feasibility

Check technical feasibility and dependencies.


Analyze impact on performance, data quality, and timelines.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 5/6
Assess if the change can be done without breaking existing workflows.

3. Communicate with Stakeholders

Inform the team (developers, testers, DevOps, etc.) about the change.
Discuss potential delays or risks if applicable.
Suggest alternatives if the request is too complex.

4. Implement and Test the Change

Prioritize quick but efficient implementation.


Conduct unit tests and integration tests to prevent issues.
Use feature flags if necessary to enable/disable changes safely.

5. Deploy with Caution

Deploy in a lower environment first (e.g., UAT or staging).


Monitor logs and validate data correctness before moving to production.
If possible, schedule deployment during a low-traffic window.

6. Post-Deployment Monitoring

Track any anomalies, errors, or performance issues.


Ensure rollback mechanisms are in place if needed.
Gather feedback from stakeholders and document lessons learned.
