SQL Practice Questions

Consider the following schema definitions:

Branch (branchNo, street, city, postcode)
Staff (staffNo, fName,lName, position, sex, DOB, salary, branchNo)
PropertyforRent (propertyNo, street, city, postcode, type, rooms, rent, ownerNo,
staffNo, branchNo)

detach and use it if necessary)
