Based on these tables write SQL statements for the following queries:
Display the average rate of a South Indian

item.
mysql> select avg(rate) from items where category="South Indian";
Display the number of items in each
category.
mysql> select category,count(name) from items group by category;

iii

Display the total quantity sold for each

iv

item.
mysql> select I_code,sum(qty) from bills group by I_code;
Display total quantity of each item sold but don't display this data for the items whose

total quantity sold is less than 3.

mysql> select I_code,sum(qty) from bills group by I_code having sum(qty)>=3;
Display the details of bill records along with Name of each corresponding item.
mysql> select billno,datee,bills.I_code,name,qty from items,bills where
items.I_code=bills.I_code;

mysql> select billno,datee,bills.I_code,name,qty from items join bills using(I_code);

Display the details of the bill records for where the item is 'Dosa'.
mysql> select * from bills where I_code=(select I_code from items where name like
'%Dosa');
mysql> select billno,datee,bills.I_code,qty from items,bills where
items.I_code=bills.I_code and name like '%Dosa';

Display the bill records for each Italian item
sold.

vii
i
b)

category='Italian' group by I_code;

Display the total value of items sold for
each bill.
mysql> select billno,sum(qty) from bills group by billno;
Identify the Foreign Keys (if any) of these tables. Justify your answer.
I_code is the Foreign Key in Bills table, because its the only column/field in common to

c)

join the two given tables.

Answer with justification (More than one answers may be correct. It all depends on

your logical thinking):

Is it easy to remember the Category of item with a given item code? Do you find any kind
of pattern in the items code? What could be the item code of another South Indian item?
Yes, The I_Code of South Indian starts with 100 , Chinese starts with 200 and Italian
starts with 300,
The Item Code of another South Indian item would be 100_.

What can be the possible uses of Bills table? Can it be used for some analysis purpose?
Yes, using the Bills table, we can calculate the amount of sales for each day and for each
item.
Do you find any columns in these tables which can be NULL? Is there any column which
must not be NULL?
No, no column can be null.

In a database create the following tables with suitable constraints :

Identify the Foreign Keys (if any) of these tables. Justify your choices.
RegNo, Offence_Code are the two foreign keys in the table Challan.
Should any of these tables have some more column(s)? Think, discuss in peer
groups, and discuss with your teacher.
No, Not Required
