In SQL problem 2 (Exercise 2 Problem 2), use department name instead of
department ID. Retrieve a list of employees ordered by department name,
and within each department ordered alphabetically in descending order by
last name.

SELECT D.DEP_NAME , E.F_NAME, E.L_NAME

FROM EMPLOYEES as E, DEPARTMENTS as D

WHERE E.DEP_ID = D.DEPT_ID_DEP

ORDER BY D.DEP_NAME, E.L_NAME DESC;

Exercise 3: Grouping
For each department ID retrieve the number of employees in the department..

SELECT DEP_ID, COUNT(*)

FROM EMPLOYEES

GROUP BY DEP_ID;

For each department retrieve the number of employees in the department,

and the average employee salary in the department..

SELECT DEP_ID, COUNT(*), AVG(SALARY)

FROM EMPLOYEES

GROUP BY DEP_ID;

Label the computed columns in the result set of SQL problem 2 (Exercise 3
Problem 2) as NUMEMPLOYEES and AVGSALARY.

SELECT DEP_ID, COUNT(*) AS "NUM_EMPLOYEES", AVG(SALARY) AS "AVG_SALARY"

FROM EMPLOYEES

GROUP BY DEP_ID;

In SQL problem 3 (Exercise 3 Problem 3), order the result set by Average
Salary..
SELECT DEP_ID, COUNT(*) AS "NUM_EMPLOYEES", AVG(SALARY) AS "AVG_SALARY"

FROM EMPLOYEES

GROUP BY DEP_ID

ORDER BY AVG_SALARY;

In SQL problem 4 (Exercise 3 Problem 4), limit the result to departments with
fewer than 4 employees.

SELECT DEP_ID, COUNT(*) AS "NUM_EMPLOYEES", AVG(SALARY) AS "AVG_SALARY"

FROM EMPLOYEES

GROUP BY DEP_ID

HAVING count(*) < 4

ORDER BY AVG_SALARY;

**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.
select ROUND(COST) from PETRESCUE;

Query B2: Enter a function that displays the length of each animal
name.

Query B3: Enter a function that displays the animal name in each
rescue in uppercase.
select UCASE(ANIMAL) from PETRESCUE;

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.

Exercise 4 Solutions: Date and Time

Functions
Query C1: Enter a function that displays the day of the month when
cats have been rescued.

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;
