Problems for You to Solve

Below, we show you the request statement and the name of the solution query in the sample databases. If you want some practice, you can work out the SQL you need for each request and then check your answer with the query we saved in the samples. Don’t worry if your syntax doesn’t exactly match the syntax of the queries we saved—as long as your result set is the same.
