During the years I have been working on Prestashop professionally I gathered many useful SQL queries which help you to overcome some unusual tasks.
Here is a collection of useful SQL queries for Prestashop project ready to be fired. This is my personal collection from years spent on developing Prestashop projects. I will do my best to update this list periodically so please do re-check this post from time to time.
If you have any suggestions please write it in a comment of this post below and I will be more than happy to find the answer and then extend this list. I have been working with Prestashop for many years on really complex project with thousands of products and I have to do many unusual tasks for my clients
