💡 SQL tip

One SQL topic especially useful for backend testing is subqueries.

A few patterns worth remembering:
🔹 IN (SELECT...) - dynamically filter records without manually copying IDs.
🔹 EXISTS - quickly check whether related data exists.
🔹 NOT EXISTS - find missing relationships. Very useful for spotting data inconsistencies.
🔹 WHERE value > (SELECT AVG(...)) - compare records against an overall value, such as an average.

The key takeaway: you don't need to memorize every syntax pattern. Think about what your main query needs and how another query can provide it.
For QA, this is especially useful when investigating API responses and checking what actually happened in the database.
