Exercise 2 Solutions: Aggregate Functions
**Query A1:**Â Enter a function that calculates the total cost of all
animal rescues in the PETRESCUE table.
select SUM(COST) from PETRESCUE;
**Query A2:**Â Enter a function that displays the total cost of all
animal rescues in the PETRESCUE table in a column called
SUMOFCOST.
select SUM(COST) AS SUM_OF_COST from PETRESCUE;
**Query A3:**Â Enter a function that displays the maximum quantity of
animals rescued.
select MAX(QUANTITY) from PETRESCUE;
Query A4: Enter a function that displays the average cost of animals
rescued.
select AVG(COST) from PETRESCUE;
Query A5: Enter a function that displays the average cost of rescuing
a dog. Hint - Bear in my the cost of rescuing one dog on day, is
different from another day. So you will have to use and average of
averages.
select AVG(COST/QUANTITY) from PETRESCUE where ANIMAL = 'Dog';
Exercise 3 Solutions: Scalar and String
Functions
**Query B1:**Â Enter a function that displays the rounded cost of
each rescue.

Query B4: Enter a function that displays the animal name in each
rescue in uppercase without duplications.
select DISTINCT(UCASE(ANIMAL)) from PETRESCUE;
Query B5: Enter a query that displays all the columns from the
PETRESCUE table, where the animal(s) rescued are cats. Use cat in
lower case in the query.

Query C2: Enter a function that displays the number of rescues on the
5th month.
select SUM(QUANTITY) from PETRESCUE where MONTH(RESCUEDATE)='05';
Query C3: Enter a function that displays the number of rescues on the
14th day of the month.
select SUM(QUANTITY) from PETRESCUE where DAY(RESCUEDATE)='14';
Query C4: Animals rescued should see the vet within three days of
arrivals. Enter a function that displays the third day from each rescue.
select DATE_add(RESCUEDATE, INTERVAL 3 DAY) from PETRESCUE;
Query C5: Enter a function that displays the length of time the animals
have been rescued; the difference between today’s date and the
