Exercise 5.2

Problem Consider the following schema

Suppliers(sid: integer, sname: string, address: string)

Parts(pid: integer, pname: string, color: string)

Catalog(sid: integer, pid: integer, cost: real) The Catalog relation lists the prices

charged for parts by Suppliers. Write the following queries in SQL:

Exercise 5.2

ProblemSuppliers(sid: integer, sname: string, address: string)Parts(pid: integer, pname: string, color: string)Catalog(sid: integer, pid: integer, cost: real)

1. Find the pnames of parts for which there is some supplier.

Exercise 5.2

Solution for (1)

SELECT DISTINCT P.pnameFROM Parts P, Catalog CWHERE P.pid = C.pid

Exercise 5.2


4. Find the pnames of parts supplied by Acme Widget Suppliers and no one else.

Exercise 5.2

Solution for (4)

SELECT P.pnameFROM Parts P, Catalog C, Suppliers SWHERE P.pid = C.pid AND C.sid = S.sidAND S.sname = ‘Acme Widget Suppliers’AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT *

FROM Catalog C1, Suppliers S1 WHERE P.pid = C1.pid AND C1.sid = S1.sid AND S1.sname <> ‘Acme Widget Suppliers’ )

Exercise 5.2


6. For each part, find the sname of the supplier who charges the most for that part.

Exercise 5.2

Solution for (6)

SELECT P.pid, S.snameFROM Parts P, Suppliers S, Catalog CWHERE C.pid = P.pidAND C.sid = S.sidAND C.cost >= ALL (SELECT C1.cost)

FROM Catalog C1 WHERE C1.pid = P.pid)

Exercise 5.2


8. Find the sids of suppliers who supply a red part and a green part.

Exercise 5.2

Solution for (8)

SELECT DISTINCT C.sidFROM Catalog C, Parts PWHERE C.pid = P.pid AND P.color = ‘Red’INTERSECTSELECT DISTINCT C1.sidFROM Catalog C1, Parts P1WHERE C1.pid = P1.pid AND P1.color = ‘Green’

Exercise 5.2


9. Find the sids of suppliers who supply a red part or a green part.

Exercise 5.2

Solution for (9)

SELECT DISTINCT C.sidFROM Catalog C, Parts PWHERE C.pid = P.pid AND P.color = ‘Red’UNIONSELECT DISTINCT C1.sidFROM Catalog C1, Parts P1WHERE C1.pid = P1.pid AND P1.color = ‘Green’

Exercise 5.4

Problem Consider the following relational schema. An

employee can work in more than one department; the pct_time field of the Works relation shows the percentage of time that a given employee works in a given department. Emp(eid: integer, ename: string, age: integer,

salary: real) Works(eid: integer, did: integer, pct_time: integer) Dept(did: integer, dname: string, budget: real,

managerid: integer) Write the following queries in SQL:

Exercise 5.4

ProblemEmp(eid: integer, ename: string, age: integer, salary:

real)Works(eid: integer, did: integer, pct_time: integer)Dept(did: integer, dname: string, budget: real,

managerid: integer)

1. Print the names and ages of each employee who works in both the Hardware department and the Software department.

Exercise 5.4

Solution for (1)

SELECT E.ename, E.ageFROM Emp E, Works W1, Works W2, Dept D1, Dept D2WHERE E.eid = W1.eid AND W1.did = D1.did AND D1.dname = ‘Hardware’ AND E.eid = W2.eid AND W2.did = D2.did AND D2.dname = ‘Software’

Exercise 5.4



managerid: integer)

3. Print the name of each employee whose salary exceeds the budget of all of the departments that he or she works in.

Exercise 5.4

Solution for (3)

Exercise 5.4



managerid: integer)

5. Find the enames of managers who manage the departments with the largest budgets.

Exercise 5.4

Solution for (5)

SELECT E.enameFROM Emp EWHERE E.eid IN (SELECT D.managerid

FROM Dept DWHERE D.budget >= ALL (SELECT D2.budget

FROM Dept D2))

Exercise 5.4



managerid: integer)

8. Find the enames of managers who manage the departments with the largest budgets.

Exercise 5.4

Solution for (8)

SELECT M.enameFROM Emp MWHERE M.sid IN (SELECT M2.sid

FROM Emp M2, Dept DWHERE M2.sid = D.managerid AND D.budget

< 5000000EXCEPTSELECT M3.sidFROM Emp M3, Dept D2WHERE M3.sid = D2.managerid ANDD2.budget <= 5000000)

This is the end of the lecture!I hope you enjoyed it.
