1. What is concurrency control in DBMS?
This is a process of managing simultaneous operations in a database so that database integrity is not compromised. The following are the two approaches involved in concurrency control:
Optimistic approach – Involves versioning
Pessimistic approach – Involves locking
2. What is a checkpoint in DBMS and when does it occur?
A checkpoint is a mechanism where all the previous logs are removed from the system and are permanently stored on the storage disk. So, basically, checkpoints are those points from where the transaction log record can be used to recover all the committed data up to the point of crash.
3. What are groups in Tableau?
A group is a combination of dimension members that make higher level categories. For example, if you are working with a view that shows average test scores by major, you may want to group certain majors together to create major categories.
4. How are nested IF statements used in Excel?
The function IF() can be nested when we have multiple conditions to meet. The FALSE value in the first IF function is replaced by another IF function to make a further test.
5. What is a Recursive Stored Procedure?
A stored procedure that calls itself until a boundary condition is reached, is called a recursive stored procedure. This recursive function helps the programmers to deploy the same set of code several times as and when required.

1. What are the different subsets of SQL?
Data Definition Language (DDL) – It allows you to perform various operations on the database such as CREATE, ALTER, and DELETE objects.
Data Manipulation Language(DML) – It allows you to access and manipulate data. It helps you to insert, update, delete and retrieve data from the database.
Data Control Language(DCL) – It allows you to control access to the database. Example – Grant, Revoke access permissions.
2. List the different types of relationships in SQL.
There are different types of relations in the database:
One-to-One – This is a connection between two tables in which each record in one table corresponds to the maximum of one record in the other.
One-to-Many and Many-to-One – This is the most frequent connection, in which a record in one table is linked to several records in another.
Many-to-Many – This is used when defining a relationship that requires several instances on each sides.
Self-Referencing Relationships – When a table has to declare a connection with itself, this is the method to employ.
3. How to create empty tables with the same structure as another table?
To create empty tables:
Using the INTO operator to fetch the records of one table into a new table while setting a WHERE clause to false for all entries, it is possible to create empty tables with the same structure. As a result, SQL creates a new table with a duplicate structure to accept the fetched entries, but nothing is stored into the new table since the WHERE clause is active.
4. What is Normalization and what are the advantages of it?
Normalization in SQL is the process of organizing data to avoid duplication and redundancy. Some of the advantages are:
Better Database organization
More Tables with smaller rows
Efficient data access
Greater Flexibility for Queries
Quickly find the information
Easier to implement Security

Coding challenges are meant to test your coding skills (especially if you are applying for ML engineer role). The coding challenges can contain algorithm and data structures problems of varying difficulty. These challenges will be timed based on how complicated the questions are. These are intended to test your basic algorithmic thinking.
Sometimes, a complicated data science question like making predictions based on twitter data are also given. These challenges are hosted on HackerRank, HackerEarth, CoderByte etc. In addition, you may even be asked multiple-choice questions on the fundamentals of data science and statistics. This round is meant to be a filtering round where candidates whose fundamentals are little shaky are eliminated. These rounds are typically conducted without any manual intervention, so it is important to be well prepared for this round.
Sometimes a separate Aptitude test is conducted or along with the technical round an aptitude test is also conducted to assess your aptitude skills. A Data Scientist is expected to have a good aptitude as this field is continuously evolving and a Data Scientist encounters new challenges every day. If you have appeared for GMAT / GRE or CAT, this should be easy for you.
Resources for Prep:
For algorithms and data structures prep,Leetcode and Hackerrank are good resources.
For aptitude prep, you can refer to IndiaBixand Practice Aptitude.
With respect to data science challenges, practice well on GLabs and Kaggle.
Brilliant is an excellent resource for tricky math and statistics questions.
For practising SQL, SQL Zoo and Mode Analytics are good resources that allow you to solve the exercises in the browser itself.
Things to Note:
Ensure that you are calm and relaxed before you attempt to answer the challenge. Read through all the questions before you start attempting the same. Let your mind go into problem-solving mode before your fingers do!
In case, you are finished with the test before time, recheck your answers and then submit.
Sometimes these rounds don’t go your way, you might have had a brain fade, it was not your day etc. Don’t worry! Shake if off for there is always a next time and this is not the end of the world.

Here are brief answers to the above advanced Power BI interview questions:
Row-level security in Power BI is a feature that allows you to restrict data access at a granular level based on user roles. To implement it, you define roles and their corresponding filters in Power BI Desktop. These filters are then applied to the data model, ensuring that users only see the data that's relevant to their role. It's commonly used in scenarios where different users should have access to different subsets of the same dataset.
Calculated tables in Power BI are tables created by defining a DAX formula. They don't exist in the data source but are generated within Power BI based on the formula you specify. Calculated tables are useful when you need to create custom tables with calculated values or to simplify complex data models. They can improve performance by precalculating values.
DirectQuery, Live Connection, and Import Data are storage modes in Power BI. DirectQuery connects directly to the data source for real-time querying, suitable for large datasets that shouldn't be imported. Live Connection connects to a dataset hosted in Power BI Service, ideal for collaborative report development. Import Data loads data into Power BI for fast performance but may not be suitable for large datasets due to storage limitations.
To optimize performance with large datasets in Power BI, you can:
Use data compression techniques.
Limit unnecessary data columns.
Optimize DAX calculations.
Use summary tables.
Implement data partitioning and incremental refresh.
DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is a formula language used in Power BI for creating custom calculations and aggregations. An example of a complex DAX calculation might be calculating a moving average of sales over a rolling 3-month period, involving functions like SUMX, FILTER, and DATESINPERIOD.
Power Query is used for data transformation. Common data cleansing techniques include removing duplicates, handling missing values, and transforming data types.
The Power BI Data Model defines relationships between tables, which impact how data is retrieved and displayed in reports. Properly defining relationships is crucial for report development.
Custom visuals or extensions in Power BI are created using tools like Power BI Visuals SDK or Charticulator. They are used to create custom visualizations beyond the built-in visuals.
Power BI Gateway is used to connect on-premises data sources to Power BI Service. It's important for refreshing data from on-premises sources in the cloud.
Power BI Desktop is used for report creation, Power BI Service for sharing and collaboration, and Power BI Mobile for accessing reports on mobile. They work together to create an end-to-end BI solution.
Incremental data refresh is a feature that allows you to refresh only new or changed data, reducing data refresh time and resource usage.
Dynamic security roles in Power BI are based on DAX expressions and allow data access control based on user-specific criteria, such as region or department.
Paginated reports are used for pixel-perfect, printable reports. They are suitable when precise formatting and printing are required.
Drill-through in Power BI enables users to explore details by clicking on data points. You configure it by defining drill-through fields and target pages.
Power BI can be integrated with other Microsoft products using connectors or APIs. For example, you can connect to Azure Data Lake Storage for data storage or embed reports in SharePoint for collaboration.
These answers provide a brief overview of the topics covered in the questions. In interviews, candidates should provide more detailed and practical responses based on their experience and knowledge :)
