Exercises

1:

Using the following CUSTOMER_TBL:

  DESCRIBE CUSTOMER_TBL;  Name                            Null?    Type -------------------------------- -------- ------------  CUST_ID                         NOT NULL VARCHAR (10)  CUST_NAME                       NOT NULL VARCHAR (30)  CUST_ADDRESS                    NOT NULL VARCHAR (20)  CUST_CITY                       NOT NULL VARCHAR (12)  CUST_STATE                      NOT NULL VARCHAR(2)  CUST_ZIP                        NOT NULL VARCHAR(5)  CUST_PHONE                               VARCHAR (10)  CUST_FAX                                 VARCHAR(10) 

Write a SELECT statement that returns customer IDs and customer names (alpha order) for customers who live in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois, and whose names begin with the letters A or B.

2:

Using the following PRODUCTS_TBL:

  DESCRIBE PRODUCTS_TBL  Name                            Null?    Type ------------------------------- --------------------- PROD_ID                         NOT NULL VARCHAR (10) PROD_DESC                       NOT NULL VARCHAR (25) COST                            NOT NULL DECIMAL(6,2) 

Write a SELECT statement that returns the product ID, PROD_DESC, and the product cost. Limit the product cost to range from $1.00 and $12.50.

3:

Assuming that you used the BETWEEN operator in exercise 2 above, rewrite your SQL statement to achieve the same results using different operators. If you did not use the BETWEEN operator, then do so now.

4:

Write a SELECT statement that returns products that are either less than 1.00 or greater than 12.50. There are two ways to achieve the same results.

5:

Write a SELECT statement that returns the following information from PRODUCTS_TBL: product description, product cost, and 5% sales tax for each product. List the products in order from most to least expensive.

6:

Write a SELECT statement that returns the following information from PRODUCTS_TBL: product description, product cost, and 5% sales tax for each product, and total cost with sales tax. List the products in order from most to least expensive. There are two ways to achieve the same results. Try both.
