Data management

Exercises sheet n ̊2 : Advanced SQL

The following relations keep track of airline ight information:

Flights( no: integer, d_from: string, d_to: string, distance: integer, departs: time,
arrives: time, price: real)
Aircraft(aid: integer, aname: string, cruisingrange: integer)
Certi ed(eid: integer, aid: integer)
Employees(eid: integer, ename: string, salary: integer)

Note that the Employees relation describes pilots and other kinds of employees as well;
every pilot is certi ed for some aircraft, and only pilots are certi ed to y.

Write each of the following queries in SQL.

1. Find the names of aircraft such that all pilots certi ed to operate them have salaries
more than $80,000.

2. For each pilot who is certi ed for more than three aircraft, nd the eid and the
maximum cruising range of the aircraft for which she or he is certi ed.

3. Find the names of pilots whose salary is less than the price of the cheapest route from
Los Angeles to Honolulu.

4. For all aircraft with cruising range over 1000 miles, nd the name of the aircraft and the
average salary of all pilots certi ed for this aircraft.

5. Find the names of pilots certi ed for some Boeing aircraft.

6. Find the aids of all aircraft that can be used on routes from Los Angeles to Chicago.

7. Identify the routes that can be piloted by every pilot who earns less than $100.

8. Print the names of pilots who can operate planes with cruising range greater than 3000
miles but are not certi ed on any Boeing aircraft.

9. A customer wants to travel from Madison to New York with no more than two changes

In order to create the database on Postgres, proceed as follows.

If you use Postgres, rst create a database named ‘tp2’ for the exercise:

create database tp2;

Then connect to that database:
\c tp2;
Execute the following commands one after the other for creating the tables :

create table Flights (

flno integer PRIMARY KEY,
d_from char(50),
d_to char(50),
distance integer,
departs timestamp,
arrives timestamp,
price real
);

CREATE TABLE Aircraft(

aid INT PRIMARY KEY ,
aname CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
cruisingrange INT NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE Employees(

eid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
,ename CHAR(50) NOT NULL
,salary INTEGER NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE Certified(

aid INTEGER REFERENCES Aircraft(aid),
eid INTEGER REFERENCES Employees(eid),
PRIMARY KEY (aid, eid)
);

Insert commands for lling the database are available here :
