Question 1: (Marks 20)
The boat reservations database has the following schema:
sailor: sname (string), rating (integer)
boat: bname (string), color (string), rating (integer)
reservation: sname (string), bname (string), weekday (string)
The rating attribute for boats indicates the minimum rating required of a sailor reserving the boat. In addition, the
following hold:
sname is the primary key of sailor (so every sailor has just one rating);
bname is the primary key of boat (so every boat has just one color and one rating);
bname is a foreign key in the reservation relation, referencing relation boat (so every bname in
reservation occurs in boat, but the converse need not be true)
sname is a foreign key in the reservation relation, referencing relation sailor (so every sname in
reservation occurs in sailor, but the converse need not be true)
Here is one example instance given in Figure 1 over the above schema:

Figure 1: Database instance for Question 1
Write the following queries in SQL (of course, the queries must work on all data, not just the sample one):

a) (3 points) List all boats reserved on Wednesday and their color.

select distinct reservation.bname, color from reservation, boat
where reservation.bname = boat.bname and reservation.weekday = Wednesday

b) (3 points) List all pairs of sailors who have reserved boats on the same day.

select distinct x.sname, y.sname from reservation x, reservation y
where x.weekday = y.weekday

3

c) (5 points) List the days appearing in the reservation relation for which only red boats are reserved.

select distinct weekday from reservation
where weekday not in
(select r.weekday from reservation r, boat b
where r.bname = b.bname and b.color < > red)

d) (4 points) For each day, list the number of red boats reserved on that day.

select r.weekday, count(distinct r.bname) as number from reservation r, boat b
where r.bname = b.bname and b.color = red
group by weekday

e) (5 points) For each day of the week occurring in the reservation relation, list the average rating of sailors
having reserved boats that day.

select weekday, avg(rating) from sailor, reservation
where sailor.sname = reservation.sname
group by weekday


Consider the following relations:
Emp(eno, ename, title, city)
Proj(pno, pname, budget, city)
Works(eno, pno, resp, dur)
Pay(title, salary)
where the primary keys are underlined, and Emp.title is a foreign key to Pay.title, Works.eno is a foreign key to Emp.eno,
and Works.pno is a foreign key to Proj.pno.
For each part of this question (considered independently of the other parts), write a single SQL statement that
accomplishes the given requirements.

a) (3 points) For each city, how many projects are located in that city and what is the total budget over all projects in
the city?

SELECT city , count (pno) AS totproj , sum ( budget ) AS totbudget
FROM Proj
GROUP BY city

b) (3 points) List all projects located in Lahore and include for each one the number of persons working on the
project.
4

SELECT Proj.pno , count (* ) FROM Proj LEFT OUTER JOIN Works ON ( Proj.pno=Works.pno )
WHERE city=`Lahore `
GROUP BY Proj.pno , pname

c) (4 points) Formulate the following SQL query in relational algebra. This is expressed over the same schema as
above.
SELECT pname , budget
FROM Proj , Works , Emp
WHERE title =`Programmer `
AND Works.eno = Emp.eno
AND Works.pno = Proj.pno

*pname,budget (Proj ./ Works ./ (-- title=`Programmer' Emp))
You can put the selection outside all of the joins if you wish; that would work too:
*pname,budget (--title=`Programmer'(Proj ./ Works ./ Emp))

Consider the instance of the Sailors relation given in Figure 2 where the key is underlined. Show the results of the
following query.

Figure 2: Database instance for Question 3

a) (5 points)
SELECT S.sid
FROM Sailors S
WHERE S.rating >= ALL
(SELECT S2.rating
FROM Sailors S2 )

Note: The result that is returned is a table. You need to specify the column title.

Sid
58
71

b) (5 points)
5

SELECT S.rating , AVG( S.age ) AS average
FROM Sailors S
GROUP BY S.rating
HAVING 1 <
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM SAILORS S2
WHERE S.rating = S2.rating )

Note: The result that is returned is a table. You need to specify the column title.

Rating | average
3 44.5
7 40
8 40.5
10 25.5

Consider the database consisting of one relation:
movie: title, director, actor.

Express the following queries in SQL.

a) (5 points) List the actors cast only in movies by Berto.

select actor from movie
where actor not in
(select actor from movie
where director ! = Berto )

b) (5 points) List all pairs of distinct actors who act together in at least one movie.

select m1.actor as actor1, m2.actor as actor2
from movie m1, movie m2
where m1.title = m2.title
