Do you consider yourself okay with SQL but want to level up? This session will cover SQL functions that can be used for analytics. Most of these functions are available in ANSI SQL and thus work on most databases, but some functions will be specific to Oracle, Snowflake, and BigQuery (and perhaps other databases I haven't researched). We'll cover window functions, aggregations, pivoting, statistical functions, and even machine learning capabilities within SQL. Prepare to leave this session excited to impress your analytics stakeholders with more advanced ways of looking at data!
