Git 101- Merge, Rebase, Cherry pick, and Commit Hashes
Both methods combine changes from one branch into another but differ in their approach and the resulting commit history. Merging is relatively straightforward, especially for teams and projects with multiple developers. Rebasing, on the other hand, is the process of moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit.

SQL’s Order of Execution
Understanding the order of execution in SQL queries is crucial for optimizing performance and obtaining accurate results. The logical order of execution includes clauses like FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, SELECT, and ORDER BY, while the physical order can be influenced by indexing, query optimization, and storage structures. Subqueries can be integrated into the SQL execution flow and impact query processing. Different databases may have variations in the execution order due to optimization strategies. When writing efficient SQL queries, consider factors like indexing, limiting the use of SELECT *, and optimizing JOIN operations. The database engine can change the order of execution through query optimization, utilizing techniques like cost-based optimization, index usage, and parallel processing. Troubleshooting issues related to the execution order involves understanding the logical flow, examining the query execution plan, checking index usage, profiling the query, and optimizing conditions in the WHERE clause.
