DOUBLE(M,D) − A double-precision floating-point number that cannot be unsigned. You can define the display length (M) and the number of decimals (D). This is not required and will default to 16,4, where 4 is the number of decimals. Decimal precision can go to 53 places for a DOUBLE. REAL is a synonym for DOUBLE.

The MySQL category on takluu.com is tailored for candidates aiming to master the fundamentals and advanced concepts of relational databases. Whether you’re a backend developer, data analyst, DBA, or full-stack engineer, understanding MySQL is essential for working with structured data in real-world applications.

MySQL is one of the most widely used open-source relational database management systems (RDBMS). It is trusted by small startups to large-scale enterprises due to its reliability, scalability, and performance. Interviewers often assess candidates on their ability to write efficient SQL queries, understand relational concepts, normalize data, and manage indexing and performance tuning.

In this section, you’ll find carefully curated interview questions covering a range of topics, including:

  • Basic SQL queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)

  • Joins (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL)

  • Grouping and aggregate functions (GROUP BY, COUNT, SUM, AVG)

  • Subqueries and nested queries

  • Indexing and performance optimization

  • Transactions, ACID properties, and locks

  • Stored procedures, triggers, and views

  • User management and privileges

This category not only prepares you for syntax-based questions but also for scenario-based problems, such as query optimization, handling large datasets, designing database schemas, and managing concurrency issues.

Our goal is to help you answer MySQL questions with clarity and confidence, demonstrating both your theoretical understanding and practical experience. With real-life examples and mock interview challenges, you’ll be well-prepared to face technical rounds at companies ranging from startups to MNCs.

Use this category as your go-to resource to strengthen your MySQL knowledge, whether you’re preparing for a developer, analyst, or database administrator role.
