Despite its simplicity, anyone who works with SQL knows that queries can get quite complex.
When faced with a complex SQL query, you can:
- Take time to manually dissect the statement,
- Ask a colleague on the data team to explain the query’s purpose,
- Turn to Google for help, or;
- Paste the query into Data Sidekick for an instant, plain English description of the query.
That last option sounds like the best one, no? Read on to learn how it works.
