SQL_Exam

The document contains three SQL-related questions. The first question asks for a query to find the top three authors by total book sales, the second question requests a query to count users who inserted between 1000 and 2000 images in a presentation, and the third question seeks to identify departments with an average salary below $500. Each question provides relevant table structures and sample data for context.

Question #1

Let’s say you have two SQL tables: authors and books.
The authors dataset has 1M+ rows; here’s the first six rows:
author_name book_name

author_1 book_1

author_1 book_2

author_2 book_3

author_2 book_4

author_2 book_5

author_3 book_6

… …

The books dataset also has 1M+ rows and here’s the first six:
book_name sold_copies

book_1 1000

book_2 1500

book_3 34000

book_4 29000

book_5 40000

book_6 4400

… …

Create an SQL query that shows the TOP 3 authors who sold the most books in
total!
Question #2

You work for a startup that makes an online presentation software. You have an event log
that records every time a user inserted an image into a presentation. (One user can insert
multiple images.) The event_log SQL table looks like this:
user_id event_date_time

7494212 1535308430

7494212 1535308433

1475185 1535308444

6946725 1535308475

6946725 1535308476

6946725 1535308477

… …

…and it has over one billion rows.


Note: If the event_date_time column’s format doesn’t look familiar, google “epoch timestamp”!
Write an SQL query to find out how many users inserted more than 1000 but less
than 2000 images in their presentations!
Question #3

You have two SQL tables! The first one is called employees and it contains the employee
names, the unique employee ids and the department names of a company. Sample:
department_name employee_id employee_name

Sales 123 John Doe

Sales 211 Jane Smith

HR 556 Billy Bob

Sales 711 Robert Hayek

Marketing 235 Edward Jorgson

Marketing 236 Christine Packard

… … …

The second one is named salaries. It holds the same employee names and the same
employee ids – and the salaries for each employee. Sample:
salary employee_id employee_name

500 123 John Doe

600 211 Jane Smith

1000 556 Billy Bob

400 711 Robert Hayek

1200 235 Edward Jorgson

200 236 Christine Packard

… … …

The company has 546 employees, so both tables have 546 rows.

Print every department where the average salary per employee is lower than $500!
