Query the Name of any student in STUDENTS who scored
higher than Marks. Order your output by the last three
characters of each name. If two or more students both have
names ending in the same last three characters (i.e.: Bobby,
Robby, etc.), secondary sort them by ascending ID.
Oracle MySQL
select name from students select name from students
where marks > 75 where marks > 75
order by substr(name,-3), id; order by right(name,3), id;
Query the two cities in STATION with the shortest and
longest CITY names, as well as their respective lengths (i.e.:
number of characters in the name). If there is more than one
smallest or largest city, choose the one that comes first when
ordered alphabetically.
Oracle MySQL
SELECT CITY, LENGTH(CITY) SELECT CITY, LENGTH(CITY)
FROM (SELECT CITY,LENGTH(CITY) FROM FROM STATION
STATION WHERE LENGTH(CITY) = (
WHERE LENGTH(CITY) = ( SELECT MAX(LENGTH(CITY)) FROM STATION
SELECT MAX(LENGTH(CITY)) FROM STATION )

Query the list of CITY names from STATION that either do not
start with vowels or do not end with vowels. Your result cannot
contain duplicates.
Oracle MySQL
SELECT DISTINCT city SELECT DISTINCT city

('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') 'i', 'o', 'u')

'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'); 'i', 'o', 'u');
Write a query identifying the type of each record in the
TRIANGLES table using its three side lengths. Output one of the
following statements for each record in the table:
Equilateral: It's a triangle with sides of equal length.
Isosceles: It's a triangle with sides of equal length.
Scalene: It's a triangle with sides of differing lengths.
Not A Triangle: The given values of A, B, and C don't form a
triangle.
Oracle MySQL
select same
case
when a <= 0 or b <= 0 or c <= 0
then 'Not A Triangle'
when a + b <= c or a+c <= b or b+c
<= a then 'Not A Triangle'
when a = b and b = c then
'Equilateral'
when (a = b) or (a = c) or (b = c)
then 'Isosceles'
else 'Scalene'

Generate the following two result sets:
1. Query an alphabetically ordered list of all names
in OCCUPATIONS, immediately followed by the first letter of
each profession as a parenthetical (i.e.: enclosed in
parentheses). For
example: AnActorName(A), ADoctorName(D), AProfessorName(
P), and ASingerName(S).
2. Query the number of ocurrences of each occupation
in OCCUPATIONS. Sort the occurrences in ascending order, and
output them in the following format:
3. There are a total of [occupation_count] [occupation]s.
where [occupation_count] is the number of occurrences of an
occupation in OCCUPATIONS and [occupation] is
the lowercase occupation name. If more than one Occupation has
the same [occupation_count], they should be ordered alphabetically.
Note: There will be at least two entries in the table for each type of
occupation.

You are given a table, BST, containing two
columns: N and P, where N represents the value of a node
in Binary Tree, and P is the parent of N.
Write a query to find the node type of Binary Tree ordered by the
value of the node. Output one of the following for each node:
Root: If node is root node.
Leaf: If node is leaf node.
Inner: If node is neither root nor leaf node.
Oracle MySQL
select N, select N,
CASE CASE
WHEN P IS NULL THEN ' Root' WHEN P IS NULL THEN ' Root'
WHEN N NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT(P) FROM WHEN N NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT(P) FROM
BST WHERE P IS NOT NULL) THEN ' Leaf' BST WHERE P IS NOT NULL) THEN ' Leaf'
ELSE ' Inner' ELSE ' Inner'
END AS nodeType END AS nodeType
FROM BST FROM BST
ORDER BY N; ORDER BY N;
