My suggestion

Now open your query editor and start your google to get some answers.

Boss: Nilesh I need to reward some user’s who have been with us for a long period of
time. Give me the top 5 names to me

Nilesh :

SELECT * FROM users

ORDER BY created_at
LIMIT 5;

Boss: nice, tell me the day the user registered with count

Nilesh:

SELECT date_format(created_at,'%W') AS 'day of the week', COUNT(*) AS

'total registration'
FROM users
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 DESC;

/*version2*/
SELECT
DAYNAME(created_at) AS day, COUNT(*) AS total
FROM
users
GROUP BY day
ORDER BY total DESC
LIMIT 2;

Boss: Thursday nice, Hey what about users who have not added any photos

Nilesh: anime images
