SQL Queries

Lab – Test Your Understanding Worksheet

Complete the exercises below in SQLite. You should write the SQL code for these exercises using the SQL editor (not
using in-built functionality of the SQLite interface)

The aim of the exercises are to test your understanding of the knowledge introduced in this week’s lectures. Please
also use the additional documentation on Aula under this week (lectures page). They should be completed using the
examples in the worksheet along with your own research. The exercises in this worksheet are based on a small
database simulating a bank. An overview of the tables in the database are shown below. A full definition of each of
the tables (including constraints) and the records in each can be found in the excel spreadsheet under Week 4 >
Additional Task titled “Bank Database - Table Definitions and Data.xls”.
