Lab 03

This document provides an overview of a lab on querying multiple tables with joins in the AdventureWorksLT database. The lab contains three challenges: 1) generate invoice reports by retrieving customer orders and addresses from multiple tables, 2) retrieve sales data like lists of customers and orders, and customers without addresses, 3) retrieve lists of customers and products that have not placed or been in orders. Upon completing the challenges, students can move on to the next module on using set operators.

Querying with Transact-SQL

Lab 3 – Querying Multi ple Tables with Joins

Overview
In this lab, you will use joins to combine data from multiple tables in the AdventureWorksLT database.

Before starting this lab, you should view Module 3 – Querying Multiple Tables with Joins in the course
Querying with Transact-SQL. Then, if you have not already done so, follow the instructions in the Getting
Started document for this course to set up the lab environment.

If you find some of the challenges difficult, don’t worry – you can find suggested solutions for all of the
challenges in the Lab Solution folder for this module.

What You’ll Need


 An Azure SQL Database instance with the AdventureWorksLT sample database. Review the
Getting Started document for information about how to provision this.

Challenge 1: Generate Invoice Reports


Adventure Works Cycles sells directly to retailers, who must be invoiced for their orders. You have been
tasked with writing a query to generate a list of invoices to be sent to customers.

Tip: Review the documentation for the FROM clause in the Transact-SQL Reference.

1. Retrieve customer orders


As an initial step towards generating the invoice report, write a query that returns the company name
from the SalesLT.Customer table, and the sales order ID and total due from the
SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader table.

2. Retrieve customer orders with addresses


Extend your customer orders query to include the Main Office address for each customer, including the
full street address, city, state or province, postal code, and country or region

Tip: Note that each customer can have multiple addressees in the SalesLT.Address table, so the
database developer has created the SalesLT.CustomerAddress table to enable a many-to-many
relationship between customers and addresses. Your query will need to include both of these tables,
and should filter the join to SalesLT.CustomerAddress so that only Main Office addresses are included.

Challenge 2: Retrieve Sales Data


As you continue to work with the Adventure Works customer and sales data, you must create queries
for reports that have been requested by the sales team.
1. Retrieve a list of all customers and their orders
The sales manager wants a list of all customer companies and their contacts (first name and last name),
showing the sales order ID and total due for each order they have placed. Customers who have not
placed any orders should be included at the bottom of the list with NULL values for the order ID and
total due.

2. Retrieve a list of customers with no address


A sales employee has noticed that Adventure Works does not have address information for all
customers. You must write a query that returns a list of customer IDs, company names, contact names
(first name and last name), and phone numbers for customers with no address stored in the database.

3. Retrieve a list of customers and products without orders


Some customers have never placed orders, and some products have never been ordered. Create a query
that returns a column of customer IDs for customers who have never placed an order, and a column of
product IDs for products that have never been ordered. Each row with a customer ID should have a
NULL product ID (because the customer has never ordered a product) and each row with a product ID
should have a NULL customer ID (because the product has never been ordered by a customer).

Next Steps
Well done! You’ve completed the lab, and you’re ready to move onto Module 4 – Using SET Operators
in the course Querying with Transact-SQL.
