SQL Data Analyst Real-World Project | EP 01: Sales & Revenue Analytics with SQL

---

Welcome to Episode 01 of our Real-World SQL Data Analyst Project!

In this series, we're building a complete, business-driven Sales Analytics project using SQL — the way a Data Analyst would actually work with real business requirements.

⚠️ This is NOT a SQL syntax tutorial.

Instead, we start with a real Business Requirements Document (BRD), understand what the business wants to know, convert those requirements into analytical questions, and use SQL to generate meaningful business insights.

🎯 WHAT WE COVER IN EPISODE 01

✅ Introduction to the Show
✅ Understanding the complete Sales Analytics BRD
✅ Project Setup

• Lost Sales Value

💡 WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS

If you're learning SQL to become a Data Analyst, knowing SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY and WINDOW FUNCTIONS is not enough.

Real Data Analysts need to understand the complete analytical process:

Business Requirement

Analytical Question
↓
SQL Query
↓
Analytical Result

Business Insight

That's exactly what we're practicing throughout this project.
