Business Question to SQL Translator

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Transform ambiguous business questions into complete SQL queries with CTEs, join rationale, and interview-ready explanations using an 8-step systematic framework.

What You Get

Get production-ready SQL with clear explanations you can use in interviews or on the job, not just query templates but full understanding of why each design choice matters.

The Problem

Product managers and data analysts often struggle to translate ambiguous business questions into correct SQL, especially under interview pressure. They know the concepts but freeze when asked to write complex queries with proper joins, aggregations, and edge case handling.

The Solution

This skill provides an 8-step framework that systematically breaks down any business question into SQL. Starting with decomposing the requirements, it identifies data needs, maps to tables, designs joins with clear rationale, defines filters, determines aggregations, and produces complete CTE-based SQL. The framework also generates interview talking points explaining the approach, key decisions, and verification strategies.

How It Works

  1. 1 Decompose business question into core metrics, dimensions, time windows, and edge cases
  2. 2 Identify specific data points needed and map them to tables and fields
  3. 3 Design join logic with rationale for each join type choice
  4. 4 Define filters, conditions, and aggregation strategy
  5. 5 Generate complete SQL query using CTEs for clarity and readability
  6. 6 Create interview talking points covering approach, decisions, and verification

What You'll Need

  • A business question or metric requirement to translate
  • Basic understanding of SQL concepts (SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY)
  • Optional: Database schema or table structures

Running Revenue Totals with Year-over-Year Comparison

Calculates cumulative revenue and customer count by week with same-week-last-year comparison. Demonstrates window functions for running totals (SUM OVER with PARTITION BY year), week number alignment for YoY comparison, and percentage change calculations with division-by-zero handling.

Signup to Purchase Conversion by Traffic Source

Calculates conversion rate from signup to first purchase, segmented by traffic source for last month. Demonstrates LEFT JOIN strategy to preserve non-converters in denominator, ROW_NUMBER for first purchase identification, and edge case handling for cancelled/refunded orders.
