SQL Rounds and Projects

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Walk me through how you would prepare for a take-home SQL round and an in-person SQL round using your previous projects.

Use the project history below to identify which projects are strongest for each round and summarize the SQL themes they demonstrate.

Output

  1. One row per project
  2. Columns: project_name, best_round, sql_focus, why_it_helps
  3. Include only projects marked as relevant for interview prep
  4. Sort by best_round, then project_name
