???? SQL for Marketers: SELECT, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY & LIMIT (Explained with Google Sheets)

Description:
You don't need to become a developer to use SQL. In this video, we teach you the 5 most important SQL operators using Google Sheets as your mental model — because if you know how to create a table in Sheets, you already understand how SQL thinks.

▶ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
→ SELECT: how to choose which columns appear in your query (just like choosing headers in Google Sheets)
→ FROM: how to tell SQL which table to pull data from (just like naming a tab in Sheets)
→ WHERE: how to filter rows by any condition (just like applying a filter in Sheets)
→ ORDER BY: how to sort your results ascending or descending
→ LIMIT: how to control how many rows your query returns
→ The correct order of operators in every SQL query: SELECT → FROM → WHERE → ORDER BY → LIMIT
→ A full example query combining all 5 operators
