  9. Using Operators in SQL
    Explains SQL operators like arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators to manipulate data.
  10. SQL Functions and Aggregations
    Teaches how to use functions like COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), and MAX() for summarizing data.
  11. GROUP BY and HAVING Clauses
    Explains how to group records using GROUP BY and filter aggregated results with HAVING.
  12. Sorting Data with ORDER BY
    Covers how to sort query results in ascending or descending order using ORDER BY.
  13. Updating and Deleting Records
    Teaches how to modify data with UPDATE and remove records with DELETE.
  14. Joins in SQL
    Explains inner, outer, left, and right joins to combine data from multiple tables.
  15. Subqueries and Nested Queries
    Covers how to use subqueries to perform complex data retrieval operations.
  16. Views in SQL
    Teaches how to create virtual tables using VIEW to simplify queries and enhance security.
  17. Indexes and Performance Optimization
    Explains how indexes improve query performance and when to use them effectively.
  18. SQL Constraints
    Covers constraints like PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, UNIQUE, and NOT NULL to ensure data integrity.
  19. Transactions and ACID Properties
    Teaches how to manage transactions with COMMIT and ROLLBACK while ensuring ACID compliance.
  20. Stored Procedures and Functions
    Explains how to create reusable code blocks using stored procedures and functions.
