The example uses a WHERE clause to show the population of ‘France’.Note that strings (pieces of text that are data) should be in ‘single quotes’;Modify it to show the population of Germany
SELECT population
FROM world
WHERE name = 'Germany'
Checking a list The word IN allows us to check if an item is in a list.
The example shows the name and population for the countries ‘Brazil’, ‘Russia’, ‘India’ and ‘China’.
Show the name and the population for ‘Sweden’, ‘Norway’ and ‘Denmark’.
SELECT name, population
FROM world
WHERE name IN ('Sweden', 'Norway', 'Denmark')
Which countries are not too small and not too big? BETWEEN allows range checking (range specified is inclusive of boundary values). The example below shows countries with an area of 250,000-300,000 sq. km. Modify it to show the country and the area for countries with an area between 200,000 and 250,000.
SELECT name, area
FROM world

show the matchid and player name for all goals scored by Germany. To identify German players, check for:teamid = 'GER’
SELECT matchid, player
FROM goal
WHERE teamid='GER'
From the previous query you can see that Lars Bender’s scored a goal in game 1012. Now we want to know what teams were playing in that match.Notice in the that the column matchid in the goal table corresponds to the id column in the game table. We can look up information about game 1012 by finding that row in the game table.Show id, stadium, team1, team2 for just game 1012
SELECT id,stadium,team1,team2
FROM game
WHERE id=1012
The code below shows the player (from the goal) and stadium name (from the game table) for every goal scored.Modify it to show the player, teamid, stadium and mdate for every German goal.
SELECT player,teamid,stadium,mdate
FROM game JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
WHERE teamid='GER'
Use the same JOIN as in the previous question.
Show the team1, team2 and player for every goal scored by a player called Mario player LIKE 'Mario%'
SELECT team1,team2,player
FROM game JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
WHERE player LIKE 'Mario%'
The table eteam gives details of every national team including the coach. You can JOIN goal to eteam using the phrase goal JOIN eteam on teamid=id
Show player, teamid, coach, gtime for all goals scored in the first 10 minutes gtime<=10
SELECT player, teamid, coach, gtime
FROM goal JOIN eteam ON teamid=id
WHERE gtime<=10
To JOIN game with eteam you could use either
game JOIN eteam ON (team1=eteam.id) or game JOIN eteam ON (team2=eteam.id)
Notice that because id is a column name in both game and eteam you must specify eteam.id instead of just id
List the the dates of the matches and the name of the team in which ‘Fernando Santos’ was the team1 coach.
SELECT mdate,teamname
FROM game JOIN eteam ON (team1=eteam.id)
WHERE coach ='Fernando Santos'
List the player for every goal scored in a game where the stadium was 'National Stadium, Warsaw’
SELECT player
FROM game JOIN goal ON id=matchid
WHERE stadium = 'National Stadium, Warsaw'
The example query shows all goals scored in the Germany-Greece quarterfinal.Instead show the name of all players who scored a goal against Germany.
Select goals scored only by non-German players in matches where GER was the id of either team1 or team2.
You can use teamid!=‘GER’ to prevent listing German players.
You can use DISTINCT to stop players being listed twice.
SELECT DISTINCT player
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE (team1='GER' OR team2='GER') AND teamid!='GER'
Show teamname and the total number of goals scored.
You should COUNT(*) in the SELECT line and GROUP BY teamname
SELECT teamname,COUNT(*)
FROM eteam JOIN goal ON id=teamid
GROUP BY teamname
Show the stadium and the number of goals scored in each stadium.
SELECT stadium,COUNT(gtime)
FROM game JOIN goal ON game.id=goal.matchid
GROUP BY stadium
For every match involving ‘POL’, show the matchid, date and the number of goals scored.
SELECT matchid,mdate, COUNT(gtime)
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE (team1 = 'POL' OR team2 = 'POL')
GROUP BY matchid,mdate
For every match where ‘GER’ scored, show matchid, match date and the number of goals scored by 'GER’
SELECT matchid,mdate, COUNT(gtime)
FROM game JOIN goal ON matchid = id
WHERE teamid = 'GER'
GROUP BY matchid,mdate
List every match with the goals scored by each team as shown. This will use “CASE WHEN” which has not been explained in any previous exercises. Notice in the query given every goal is listed. If it was a team1 goal then a 1 appears in score1, otherwise there is a 0. You could SUM this column to get a count of the goals scored by team1. Sort your result by mdate, matchid, team1 and team2.
SELECT mdate,team1,SUM(
CASE WHEN game.team1=goal.teamid THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS score1,
team2,SUM(
CASE WHEN game.team2=goal.teamid THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)AS score2
From game LEFT JOIN goal ON game.id=goal.matchid
GROUP BY mdate,matchid,team1,team2

stops(id, name)

Find the id value for the stop ‘Craiglockhart’
SELECT id

WHERE name='Craiglockhart'
Give the id and the name for the stops on the ‘4’ ‘LRT’ service.
SELECT id, name
FROM stops JOIN route ON id=stop
WHERE company='LRT' AND num=4
The query shown gives the number of routes that visit either London Road (149) or Craiglockhart (53). Run the query and notice the two services that link these stops have a count of 2.
Add a HAVING clause to restrict the output to these two routes.
SELECT company, num, COUNT(*)
FROM route WHERE stop=149 OR stop=53
GROUP BY company, num
HAVING COUNT(*)=2
Execute the self join shown and observe that b.stop gives all the places you can get to from Craiglockhart, without changing routes. Change the query so that it shows the services from Craiglockhart to London Road.
SELECT a.company, a.num, a.stop, b.stop
FROM route a JOIN route b ON
(a.company=b.company AND a.num=b.num)
WHERE a.stop=53 AND b.stop=149
The query shown is similar to the previous one, however by joining two copies of the stops table we can refer to stops by name rather than by number. Change the query so that the services between ‘Craiglockhart’ and ‘London Road’ are shown. If you are tired of these places try ‘Fairmilehead’ against ‘Tollcross’
SELECT a.company, a.num, stopa.name, stopb.name
