I don't know if this is right place to ask this but i thought that someone can give insight on this.

What is the process followed to estimate the time / days to write sql queries for requirements. How is the complexity of sql queries rated / calculated.

Any idea? Anyone who have done estimation?

It depends on a number of factors:

- Which data needs to be returned by the query
- Internal or external processes that affect needed data (imports, job processing)
- How that data is stored (number of tables, databases, columns, etc.)
- Knowledge of database and skill level of person(s) creating the queries

There could be other factors as well. Without detailed knowledge of the databases it's impossible to estimate accurately.

How is the complexity of SQL Queries are evaluated? Is there any standard method? like Simple Query (Simple Select and from one table) - 2, Complex (2 - 3 tables) - 6, More Complex (more than 3 tables) - 12. is there any kind of way to evaluate complexity of SQL Queries? Any help will be appreciated

No, there isn't. It is entirely dependent on the factors I mentioned earlier.
