Goals

• Control a full database
• Understand tables in database
• Practice writing simple SQL queries
• Competencies:
  • Databases
  • SQL

Instructions

• Fork this repo
• Clone it on your laptop
• Open DB Browser for SQLite, Press Open Database in top menu, and select the file named myDatabase in the repo
• For each of the questions below, write in answers.sh the query you used to solve the problem

Decrease the points of Alex because he's late today 8. Remember to update answers.sh file 9. Commit ("Basic Queries")

Creating Table

Layal graduated on 08/09/2018. Create a table graduates that includes:

• ID, Integer, Not Null, Primary key, Auto incerement
• Name, Text, Not Null, Unique

2. Add the graduation date previously mentioned to Layal's record in graduates
3. Remove Layal's record from students

3. Find the name of company that has a graphic designer.
4. Commit ("Joins")

Count & Filter

Go back the myDatabase.

In the Execute SQL tab, do the following:

1. Find the person with the highest number of points in students
2. Find the average of points in students
3. Find the number of students that have 500 points
4. Find the names of students that contains 's'
5. Find all students based on the decreasing order of their points
6. commit ("Count & Filter")
