SQL Practice Problems

The document contains a series of SQL practice exercises to select, sort, and join data from multiple tables in a database called PREMIERE. The exercises involve retrieving attributes from tables like PART, CUSTOMER, ORDERLINE, and ORDERS and performing operations like sorting, filtering, and joining on fields like Part_Number, Customer_Number, and Order_Number. Hints are provided for using functions like SUBSTR to select rows based on parts whose numbers begin with a certain character.

Practice Exercises SQL (1)

For the following exercises the collection name is: PREMIERE (see ERD on Page 5)
Selecting Attributes and Sorting
1.

Produce a list showing Part_Number, Part_Description, On_Hand, and Price


sorted by Part_Description.

2. We can reduce our shipping costs by sorting by Zip_Code. Produce a listing that
does this and also shows the customer's name and address.
3. Produce a list showing Part_Number, Part_Description, On_Hand, and Price sorted
by Warehouse and Class. In this case Warehouse is the majour sort key and Class
is the minor sort key.
Selecting Rows
4. List all the attributes in ORDERLINE (might be called ORDER_PART) selecting
only rows where the Number_Ordered is greater than or equal to 2.
5. List all customers Last_Name and First_Name Whose Credit_Limit is less than or
equal to $1000.
6. List all customers Last_Name and First_Name Whose Credit_Limit is greater than
or equal to $1000 and whose Zip_Code is 49219.
7. Using the PART table, select rows that have a Part_Number that begins with B

Hint: WHERE SUBSTR(Part_Number , 1, 1) = B


Note: the substring function uses Part_Number starting at position 1 for a
length of 1. Thats how we can isolate the first character of Part_Number.
Joins
8. Using 2 tables, list the Part_Number, Part_Description, Number_Ordered and
Quoted_Price.
9. Using 2 tables, list the Part_Number, Part_Description, Number_Ordered and
Quoted_Price. The list should include only parts with a Part_Number that begins
with C
10. Using 2 tables, list the Order_Number, Order_Date, Part_Number,
Number_Ordered and Quoted_Price.

11. Using 3 tables, list the Order_Number, Order_Date, Part_Number,


Part_Description, Number_Ordered and Quoted_Price
12. Using 4 tables, list the Customers Last_Name and First_Name followed by the
Order_Number, Part_Description and Number_Ordered.
