Job-Ready SQL in an Afternoon - String Positional Information

The video tutorial covers various SQL functions for analyzing string data in a database. It begins with an introduction to string size analysis, followed by a detailed explanation of using the length function to measure string sizes. The tutorial then explores using case statements to categorize string lengths and concludes with finding character positions using the position function. These techniques are useful for data processing and understanding the structure of text data in SQL databases.
