SQL Query Examples for Managing Inventory

Some practical SQL queries to manage your inventory data include:

SELECT "SKU_number", "PriceReg" * "ItemCount" AS "TotalSales"
FROM inventorydata
WHERE "SoldFlag" = 'True';
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Find Unsold Items, identify items that weren’t sold in the last six months.

SELECT COUNT("SKU_number")
FROM inventorydata
WHERE "SoldFlag" = 'False';
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

SELECT "SKU_number", "PriceReg" * "ItemCount" AS "TotalSales"

WHERE "SoldFlag" = 'True'
GROUP BY "SKU_number", "TotalSales"
ORDER BY "TotalSales" DESC
LIMIT 10;
