Exercises on SQL

1. Basics of SQL

 Write an SQL query to create a database named Library.


 Write an SQL query to create a table called Books with the following columns:
o BookID (Primary Key, Integer)
o Title (VARCHAR)
o Author (VARCHAR)
o PublishedYear (Integer)
o Genre (VARCHAR)
o Price (Decimal).
 Insert at least 5 records into the Books table with different values.

2. Data Retrieval (SELECT Queries)

 Write an SQL query to fetch all rows and columns from the Books table.
 Write an SQL query to fetch only the Title and Author columns from the Books
table.
 Write an SQL query to fetch all books published after the year 2000.
 Write an SQL query to find books whose Genre is 'Science Fiction'.

3. Filtering and Sorting

 Write an SQL query to fetch all books with a Price greater than 20, sorted by Price
in descending order.
 Write an SQL query to find all books whose Title contains the word "Adventure"
(use the LIKE operator).
 Write an SQL query to retrieve unique genres from the Books table.

4. Aggregate Functions

 Write an SQL query to calculate the average price of all books.


 Write an SQL query to find the total number of books in the table.
 Write an SQL query to find the maximum and minimum prices of books.

5. Grouping and Having Clause

 Write an SQL query to count the number of books in each Genre using the GROUP BY
clause.
 Write an SQL query to fetch genres that have more than 2 books in the Books table
(use the HAVING clause).

6. Data Manipulation

 Write an SQL query to update the Price of all books in the Science Fiction genre,
increasing it by 10%.
 Write an SQL query to delete all books published before the year 1990.
 Write an SQL query to add a new column Rating (Decimal) to the Books table.

7. Joins

 Assume you have another table called Authors with the following columns:
o AuthorID (Primary Key, Integer)
o AuthorName (VARCHAR)
o Country (VARCHAR). Write an SQL query to fetch the Title of books along
with the Country of their authors using an INNER JOIN.
 Write an SQL query to fetch all books and their authors, even if some books have no
matching authors in the Authors table (use LEFT JOIN).

8. Subqueries

 Write an SQL query to fetch books whose price is greater than the average price of all
books.
 Write an SQL query to find the details of the book(s) with the highest price.
 Write an SQL query to fetch all authors who have written a book in the Books table.

9. Advanced Topics

 Write an SQL query to create a view named ExpensiveBooks that contains all books
with a Price greater than 50.
 Write an SQL query to create a stored procedure that takes a Genre as input and
returns all books belonging to that genre.
 Write an SQL query to create a trigger that automatically updates the PublishedYear
of any book to the current year if it is inserted with a NULL value.

Additional Challenges

1. Write an SQL query to create a table Borrowers with the following fields:
o BorrowerID (Primary Key, Integer)
o Name (VARCHAR)
o BookID (Foreign Key referencing the Books table)
o BorrowDate (DATE). Insert sample data and write a query to fetch the details
of borrowers along with the books they borrowed.
2. Write an SQL query to simulate a library system where you calculate the overdue fee
for books borrowed for more than 30 days. Assume the fee is $1 per day.
3. Write a query to implement pagination for fetching books in batches of 3 (use LIMIT
or equivalent).

Bonus Challenge

 Design a complete database schema for a small e-commerce application, including


tables like Products, Customers, Orders, and OrderDetails. Write SQL queries to
support functionality like adding products, placing orders, and retrieving customer
purchase history.
