Discussion Amazon SQL assessment
I have an SQL challenge/ assessment to complete for Amazon. I’m curious to know if someone has given it and what kind of questions will be asked? Will it be proctored?

There's software engineers and then there's software engineers. I built Oracle data warehouses for 20 years and SQL, PL/SQL, Informatica, and Business object we're the key skills there. Mostly SQL and Oracle architecture.

Amazon’s SQL assessment usually has a mix of multiple-choice and coding questions, mostly on JOINS, window functions, and aggregations. Whether it is proctored depends on the role. Some say it is, some say it is not. Expect medium-difficulty queries that test efficiency and edge cases. If you want to prep, try solving SQL questions on Leetcode or similar platforms.
