About the SQL – Basic (E-commerce Data) Test
Using a small e-commerce dataset, SQL – basic evaluates whether candidates can write simple SQL queries to retrieve, filter, sort, and summarize data. It helps recruiters screen junior analytics and reporting talent who need practical database skills for everyday data analysis.
Foundational query writing:
Candidates work through table-based SQL tasks that mirror everyday database work in junior analytics roles. They are evaluated on how accurately they select the right fields and return usable results from small business datasets. This gives hiring teams a clear view of core query-writing ability without requiring advanced database knowledge.- Filtering and result organization: The section measures how well candidates narrow data to match common business questions and present results in a useful order. Recruiters can assess whether applicants understand practical filtering, date-related conditions, sorting, and limiting output to the rows that matter most. These are the day-to-day skills behind basic reporting and data checks.
- Aggregation and simple analysis: Candidates also summarize transaction data to produce counts and identify top items or statuses. This shows whether they can turn raw records into simple insights, which is essential for junior data analysis and reporting work. The focus stays on clear analytical thinking rather than complex database techniques.
