binabitinabyte / sql-2-afternoon

A sql afternoon project to solidify using more intermediate queries.

Project Summary

In this project, we'll continue to use postgres.devmountain.com to practice joins, nested queries, updating rows, group by, distinct, and foreign keys.

Any new tables or records that you add into the database will be removed after you refresh the page.

Practice joins

Instructions

Syntax Hint

SELECT [Column names] 
FROM [table] [abbv]
JOIN [table2] [abbv2] ON abbv.prop = abbv2.prop WHERE [Conditions];

SELECT a.name, b.name FROM some_table a JOIN another_table b ON a.some_id = b.some_id;
SELECT a.name, b.name FROM some_table a JOIN another_table b ON a.some_id = b.some_id WHERE b.email = '[email protected]';

1. Get all invoices where the unit_price on the invoice_line is greater than $0.99.
2. Get the invoice_date, customer first_name and last_name, and total from all invoices.
3. Get the customer first_name and last_name and the support rep's first_name and last_name from all customers.
   • Support reps are on the employee table.
4. Get the album title and the artist name from all albums.
5. Get all playlist_track track_ids where the playlist name is Music.
6. Get all track names for playlist_id 5.
7. Get all track names and the playlist name that they're on ( 2 joins ).
8. Get all track names and album titles that are the genre Alternative & Punk ( 2 joins ).

Practice nested queries

Summary

Complete the instructions without using any joins. Only use nested queries to come up with the solution.

Instructions

Syntax Hint

SELECT [column names] 
FROM [table] 
WHERE column_id IN ( SELECT column_id FROM [table2] WHERE [Condition] );

SELECT name, Email FROM Athlete WHERE AthleteId IN ( SELECT PersonId FROM PieEaters WHERE Flavor='Apple' );

1. Get all invoices where the unit_price on the invoice_line is greater than $0.99.
2. Get all playlist tracks where the playlist name is Music.
3. Get all track names for playlist_id 5.
4. Get all tracks where the genre is Comedy.
5. Get all tracks where the album is Fireball.
6. Get all tracks for the artist Queen ( 2 nested subqueries ).

  )
); 

Practice updating Rows

Instructions

Syntax Hint

UPDATE [table] 
SET [column1] = [value1], [column2] = [value2] 
WHERE [Condition];

UPDATE athletes SET sport = 'Picklball' WHERE sport = 'pockleball';

1. Find all customers with fax numbers and set those numbers to null.
2. Find all customers with no company (null) and set their company to "Self".
3. Find the customer Julia Barnett and change her last name to Thompson.
4. Find the customer with this email [email protected] and change his support rep to 4.
5. Find all tracks that are the genre Metal and have no composer. Set the composer to "The darkness around us".
6. Refresh your page to remove all database changes.

Solution

#1

UPDATE customer
SET fax = null
WHERE fax IS NOT null;

#2

UPDATE customer
SET company = 'Self'
WHERE company IS null;

#3

UPDATE customer 
SET last_name = 'Thompson' 
WHERE first_name = 'Julia' AND last_name = 'Barnett';

#4

Group by

Instructions

Syntax Hint

SELECT [column1], [column2]
FROM [table] [abbr]
GROUP BY [column];

Solution

SQL Solutions

#1

SELECT COUNT(*), g.name
FROM track t
JOIN genre g ON t.genre_id = g.genre_id
GROUP BY g.name;

#2

SELECT COUNT(*), g.name
FROM track t
JOIN genre g ON g.genre_id = t.genre_id
WHERE g.name = 'Pop' OR g.name = 'Rock'
GROUP BY g.name;

#3

SELECT ar.name, COUNT(*)
FROM album al
JOIN artist ar ON ar.artist_id = al.artist_id
GROUP BY ar.name;

Use Distinct

Syntax Hint

SELECT DISTINCT [column]
FROM [table];

FROM track;

#2

SELECT DISTINCT billing_postal_code
FROM invoice;

#3

SELECT DISTINCT company
FROM customer;

Delete Rows

Summary

Always do a select before a delete to make sure you get back exactly what you want and only what you want to delete! Since we cannot delete anything from the pre-defined tables ( foreign key restraints ), use the following SQL code to create a dummy table:

practice_delete TABLE

CREATE TABLE practice_delete ( name TEXT, type TEXT, value INTEGER );
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'bronze', 50);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'bronze', 50);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'bronze', 50);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'silver', 100);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'silver', 100);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'gold', 150);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'gold', 150);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'gold', 150);
INSERT INTO practice_delete ( name, type, value ) VALUES ('delete', 'gold', 150);

SELECT * FROM practice_delete;

Instructions

Syntax Hint

DELETE FROM [table] WHERE [condition]

1. Copy, paste, and run the SQL code from the summary.
2. Delete all 'bronze' entries from the table.
3. Delete all 'silver' entries from the table.
4. Delete all entries whose value is equal to 150.

Solution

SQL Solutions

#1

DELETE 
FROM practice_delete 
WHERE type = 'bronze';

#2

DELETE 
FROM practice_delete 
WHERE type = 'silver';

#3

DELETE 
FROM practice_delete 
WHERE value = 150;

eCommerce Simulation - No Hints

Summary

Let's simulate an e-commerce site. We're going to need users, products, and orders.

• users need a name and an email.
• products need a name and a price
• orders need a ref to product.
• All 3 need primary keys.

Instructions

• Create 3 tables following the criteria in the summary.
• Add some data to fill up each table.
  • At least 3 users, 3 products, 3 orders.
• Run queries against your data.
  • Get all products for the first order.
  • Get all orders.
  • Get the total cost of an order ( sum the price of all products on an order ).
• Add a foreign key reference from orders to users.
• Update the orders table to link a user to each order.
• Run queries against your data.
  • Get all orders for a user.
  • Get how many orders each user has.

Black Diamond

• Get the total amount on all orders for each user.
