About the test

The SQL online test assesses SQL skills using live coding tasks that require writing CRUD operations in order to extract, combine, and manipulate data. SQL queries on this test can be executed in MySQL, MS SQL, or SQLite databases.

The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:

  • Writing queries and subqueries that join, group, filter, and aggregate data.
  • Creating new database tables with proper table schema and constraints.
  • Fixing bugs in existing SQL queries and tuning performance.

A good database admin, back-end developer, or data analyst all need a solid understanding of SQL to interface and access an SQL database efficiently.

The following data definition defines an organization's employee hierarchy.

An employee is a manager if any other employee has their managerId set to this employee's id. That means John is a manager if at least one other employee has their managerId set to John's id.

TABLE employees
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
  managerId INTEGER
  name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
  FOREIGN KEY (managerId) REFERENCES employees(id)

Write a query that selects only the names of employees who are not managers.

See the example case for more details.

Decorative quote

Simple, straight-forward technical testing

TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
