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.

sorted by Part_Description.

SELECT Part_Number, Part_Description, On_Hand, Price

FROM PREMIERE.PART
ORDER 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.

SELECT Zip_Code, Last_Name, Street, City, State

FROM PREMIERE.CUSTOMER
ORDER BY Zip_Code
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.

SELECT Part_Number, Part_Description, On_Hand, Price

FROM PREMIERE.PART
ORDER BY Warehouse, Class

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.

SELECT *
FROM PREMIERE.ORDERLINE
WHERE Number_Ordered >= 2
5. List all customers Last_Name and First_Name Whose Credit_Limit is less than or
equal to $1000.

SELECT Last_Name, First_Name, Credit_Limit

FROM PREMIERE.CUSTOMER
WHERE Credit_Limit <= 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.

SELECT Last_Name, First_Name, Credit_Limit

FROM PREMIERE.CUSTOMER
WHERE Credit_Limit >= 1000
AND Zip_Code is 49219
7. Using the PART table, select rows that have a Part_Number that begins with B

SELECT *
FROM PREMIERE.PART
WHERE SUBSTR(Part_Number , 1, 1) = B
Note: the substring function uses Part_Number starting at position 1 for a

8. Using 2 tables, list the Part_Number, Part_Description, Number_Ordered and
Quoted_Price.

SELECT p.Part_Number, p.Part_Description, ol.Number_Ordered,

ol.Quoted_Price
FROM PREMIERE/ORDERLINE ol, PREMIERE/PART p
WHERE p.Part_Number = ol.Part_Number
Note: ORDERLINE (might be called ORDER_PART)

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

and Quoted_Price.

SELECT o.Order_Number, Order_Date, Part_Number, Number_Ordered,

Quoted_Price

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

SELECT Last_Name, First_Name, o.Order_Number, Part_Description,

Number_Ordered
FROM PREMIERE/CUSTOMER c, PREMIERE.ORDERS o,
PREMIERE/ORDERLINE ol, PREMIERE/PART p
WHERE c.Customer_Number = o.Customer_Number
