I like to structure my questions such that they could using HAVING or a CTE or subquery and not test on the piece of knowledge directly, but the application of knowledge.

Like in Python if you asked lots of questions with list of numbers ... and then generalized it to infinite lists of numbers. If the first case I'd like to see list comprehensions, and then generator expressions or possibly the use of itertools.

That tends to be how it leads in. We’ll talk through building a simple CRUD application with a single table and then ask questions about how to get specific data for somebody in marketing.

There are a lot of ways to answer it, but HAVING is the simplest.
