upper case letters. Name the column Actor Name.

 2a. You need to find the ID number, first name, and last name of an
actor, of whom you know only the first name, "Joe." What is one query
would you use to obtain this information?

order the rows by last name and first name, in that order:

that GROUCHO was the correct name after all! In a single query, if the first
name of the actor is currently HARPO, change it to GROUCHO. Otherwise,
change the first name to MUCHO GROUCHO, as that is exactly what the
actor will be with the grievous error. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE
FIRST NAME OF EVERY ACTOR TO MUCHO GROUCHO, HOWEVER! (Hint:
update the record using a unique identifier.)
