💡 Pro tip: This is one of those techniques that will make you look like a data science wizard! SQL Query Order Processing in Python - Made Simple!

SQL’s logical processing order differs from its written syntax. Understanding this sequence is super important for query optimization and debugging. We’ll implement a Python class that shows you the actual execution flow of SQL operations.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

class SQLQueryProcessor:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.current_state = None
    
    def from_clause(self, table_name):
        # Step 1: FROM - Initialize data source
        self.current_state = self.data[table_name]
        return self
    
    def join_clause(self, other_table, condition):
        # Step 1: JOIN - Merge datasets
        joined_data = []
        for row in self.current_state:
            for other_row in other_table:
                if condition(row, other_row):
                    joined_data.append({**row, **other_row})
        self.current_state = joined_data
        return self

    def where_clause(self, condition):
        # Step 2: WHERE - Filter records
        self.current_state = [
            row for row in self.current_state 
            if condition(row)
        ]
        return self

🚀

🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Implementing GROUP BY and HAVING Operations - Made Simple!

The GROUP BY operation aggregates data based on specified columns, while HAVING filters these groups. This example showcases how Python can mirror SQL’s grouping mechanisms using dictionary-based aggregation.

Let’s make this super clear! Here’s how we can tackle this:

def group_by_clause(self, key_func, agg_func):
    # Step 3: GROUP BY - Aggregate data
    groups = {}
    for row in self.current_state:
        key = key_func(row)
        if key not in groups:
            groups[key] = []
        groups[key].append(row)
    
    # Apply aggregation function to each group
    self.current_state = [
        {'group': k, 'agg_result': agg_func(v)}
        for k, v in groups.items()
    ]
    return self

def having_clause(self, condition):
    # Step 4: HAVING - Filter groups
    self.current_state = [
        group for group in self.current_state
        if condition(group)
    ]
    return self

🚀

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! SELECT and ORDER BY Implementation - Made Simple!

The SELECT phase determines which columns appear in the final output, while ORDER BY sorts the results. This example shows you how to handle column selection and sorting operations in Python.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

def select_clause(self, columns):
    # Step 5: SELECT - Project columns
    if columns == '*':
        return self
    
    self.current_state = [
        {col: row[col] for col in columns}
        for row in self.current_state
    ]
    return self

def order_by_clause(self, key_func, reverse=False):
    # Step 6: ORDER BY - Sort results
    self.current_state = sorted(
        self.current_state,
        key=key_func,
        reverse=reverse
    )
    return self

🚀

🔥 Level up: Once you master this, you’ll be solving problems like a pro! LIMIT and OFFSET Implementation - Made Simple!

The LIMIT clause controls the number of rows returned, while OFFSET determines the starting point. This example shows you how Python list slicing can effectively replicate SQL’s pagination functionality.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

def limit_clause(self, limit, offset=0):
    # Step 7: LIMIT/OFFSET - Pagination
    self.current_state = self.current_state[offset:offset + limit]
    return self

def execute(self):
    # Return final result set
    return self.current_state

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

# Sample sales data
sales_data = {
    'transactions': [
        {'product_id': 1, 'customer_id': 101, 'amount': 150.0, 'date': '2024-01-01'},
        {'product_id': 2, 'customer_id': 102, 'amount': 200.0, 'date': '2024-01-01'},
        {'product_id': 1, 'customer_id': 103, 'amount': 150.0, 'date': '2024-01-02'}
    ]
}

# Create query processor instance
processor = SQLQueryProcessor(sales_data)

# Process query with proper execution order
results = processor.from_clause('transactions')\
    .where_clause(lambda x: x['amount'] > 100)\
    .group_by_clause(
        key_func=lambda x: x['product_id'],
        agg_func=lambda x: sum(item['amount'] for item in x)
    )\
    .having_clause(lambda x: x['agg_result'] > 200)\
    .order_by_clause(lambda x: x['agg_result'], reverse=True)\
    .limit_clause(5)\
    .execute()

def window_function(self, partition_by, window_func, window_size=None):
    result = []
    # Group data by partition key
    partitions = {}
    for row in self.current_state:
        key = partition_by(row)
        if key not in partitions:
            partitions[key] = []
        partitions[key].append(row)
    
    # Apply window function to each partition
    for key, partition in partitions.items():
        partition = sorted(partition)  # Sort within partition
        for i, row in enumerate(partition):
            if window_size:
                window = partition[max(0, i-window_size+1):i+1]
            else:
                window = partition[:i+1]
            row['window_result'] = window_func(window)
            result.append(row)
    
    self.current_state = result
    return self

    result = []
    for outer_row in self.current_state:
        # Create a copy of subquery processor for each outer row
        subquery_result = subquery_processor.execute()
        
        if correlation_condition:
            # Apply correlation condition for correlated subqueries
            filtered_result = [
                inner_row for inner_row in subquery_result
                if correlation_condition(outer_row, inner_row)
            ]
            outer_row['subquery_result'] = filtered_result
        else:
            # For non-correlated subqueries
            outer_row['subquery_result'] = subquery_result
        
        result.append(outer_row)
    
    self.current_state = result
    return self

        mid = n // 2
        if n % 2 == 0:
            return (sorted_values[mid-1] + sorted_values[mid]) / 2
        return sorted_values[mid]
    
    @staticmethod
    def percentile(values, p):
        sorted_values = sorted(values)
        k = (len(sorted_values) - 1) * (p/100.0)
        f = math.floor(k)
        c = math.ceil(k)
        if f == c:
            return sorted_values[int(k)]
        d0 = sorted_values[int(f)] * (c-k)

        .window_function(
            partition_by=lambda x: x['symbol'],
            window_func=lambda window: sum(r['price'] for r in window)/len(window),
            window_size=window_size
        )\
        .order_by_clause(lambda x: x['date'])\
        .execute()
