Here are the eight most populous countries in the world:

Id	Name	Area	Population	Source
18	India	3,287,240	1,348,834,400	Based on 2011 census
27	Bangladesh	143,998	166,774,136	—
34	Pakistan	803,940	205,095,217	Official population clock
42	Nigeria	923,768	200,962,000	UN projection
46	United States	9,833,517	329,424,894	Official population clock
54	Brazil	8,515,767	210,076,263	—
59	China	9,640,821	1,397,906,480	Official estimate
60	Indonesia	1,904,569	268,074,600	Official annual projection

Using your favorite DB client, design and create a database table called countries that would store the information presented above (create a database first if you don’t have any existing ones to play with). Don’t bother with creating any keys or indices for now, just create the five columns. Copy and paste the SQL query generated by the client below (it should start with create table or something similar; if it is difficult to find the query generated by your client, ask for assistance):
```
create table countries (
id integer,
name text,
area bigint,
population bigint, 
source text
```

) ```

Manually create a query or a series of queries that would fill the table with the information above. Put the query/queries below:
```
INSERT INTO countries (id, name, area, population, source) VALUES 
```

(18, 'India', 3287240, 1348834400, 'Based on 2011 census'), (27, 'Bangladesh', 143998, 166774136, null), (34, 'Pakistan', 803940, 205095217, 'Official population clock'), (42, 'Nigeria', 923768, 200962000, 'UN projection'), (46, 'United States', 9833517, 329424894, 'Official population clock'), (54, 'Brazil', 8515767, 210076263, null), (59, 'China', 9640821, 1397906480, 'Official estimate'), (60, 'Indonesia', 1904569, 268074600, 'Official annual projection') ```

Create a query that would return everything from the table:
```
select * from countries
```
Create a query that would return a single row: the country with the ID of 46.
```
select * from countries where id = 46
```
Create a query that would return the four countries with the following IDs: 18, 34, 54, 59.
```
select * from countries where id in (18, 34, 54, 59)
```
Create a query that would return all the countries except the country with the ID of 27 (Bangladesh).
```
select * from countries where id != 27
```
Create a query that would select the names and sources for the countries whose area is over 1,000,000 km²:
```
select name, source from countries where area > 1000000
```
Create a query that would select the IDs of the countries with missing sources:
```
select id from countries where source is null
```
Create a query that would return the area, population, and population density (a computed column aliased density) of every country that has a source.
```
select area, population, (population / area) as density from countries where source is not null
```
Create a query that would return the list of all sources, without repetition:
```
select distinct source from countries
```
Create a query that would select the countries whose source is official (starting with Official) or the area is below 1,000,000 km²:
```
select * from countries where source like 'Official%' OR area < 1000000
```
Create a query that would select the countries whose source is official (starting with Official) and the area is below 1,000,000 km²:
```
select * from countries where source like 'Official%' AND area < 1000000
```
Create a query that would select all the countries except those whose source is official (starting with Official):
```
select * from countries where source not like 'Official%'
```
Create a query that would select the countries whose names start with an N, O, P, ..., X, Y, or Z:
```
select * from countries where name > 'N%'
```
Create a query that would return all the countries sorted by their name alphabetically:
```
select * from countries order by name
```
Create a query that would return the population density figures of the countries sorted in the descending order. The column should be aliased density.
```
select (population/area) as density from countries order by density desc
```
Create a query that would return the countries sorted by their source alphabetically, and then (if two or more countries share the same source) by their name in the reverse alphabetical order:
```
select * from countries order by source, name desc
```
Set all sources to NULL:
```
update countries set source = null
```
Update the sources for the countries with the population over 1,000,000,000 to Official:
```
update countries set source = 'Official' where population > 1000000000
```
Multiply the area by 100 and add 10 to the population for every country whose ID is greater than 50:
```
update countries set area = area * 100, population = population + 10 where id > 50
```
Delete from the table every country whose population is less than 300,000,000:
```
delete from countries where population < 300000000
```
Delete all countries from the table:
```
delete from countries
```
