SQL Basic Question for interview

Let's come to the point.

I have created an Awesome SQL Interview GitHub repo to prepare for interview questions and practice SQL queries. I have divided the SQL queries into three sections: Basic (L0), Intermediate (L1), and Advanced (L2). This is the solution for the basic section.
