SQL Intro

In this exercise you are going to practice write SQL for CREATE TABLE, INSERT and SELECT statements. Some examples have been provided for you in the sql/products folder.

Learning Objectives

  • Create a database
  • Explain that each record should have an identifier known as a primary key
  • Use a tool to get visibility on the state of the database
  • Use SQL to create and drop a table in the database
  • Explain that a table has rows and columns also known as records and fields
  • Use SQL to insert and records in a table

Set Up

Sign up to Elephant SQL and create a new database instance.

Standard Criteria

Write a SQL CREATE TABLE statement that creates a table to store films. The table should have the following columns:

  • A unique film id (this should be the primary key, use SERIAL to make it increment automatically)
  • A unique title
  • A genre
  • A release year (make this integer data type)
  • A score out of 10 (make this integer data type)

Write SQL INSERT statements to add the following records in to the films table.

title, genre, release_year, score
The Shawshank Redemption, Drama, 1994, 9
The Godfather, Crime, 1972, 9
The Dark Knight, Action, 2008, 9
Alien, SciFi, 1979, 9
Total Recall, SciFi, 1990, 8
The Matrix, SciFi, 1999, 8,
The Matrix Resurrections, SciFi, 2021, 5
The Matrix Reloaded, SciFi, 2003, 6
The Hunt for Red October, Thriller, 1990, 7
Misery, Thriller, 1990, 7
The Power Of The Dog, Western, 2021, 6
Hell or High Water, Western, 2016, 8
The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Western, 1966, 9
Unforgiven, Western, 1992, 7

Write SQL SELECT statements to return films matching the below criteria:

  • All films
  • All films ordered by rating descending
  • All films ordered by release year ascending
  • All films with a rating of 8 or higher
  • All films with a rating of 7 or lower
  • films released in 1990
  • films released before 2000
  • films released after 1990
  • films released between 1990 and 1999
  • films with the genre of "SciFi"
  • films with the genre of "Western" or "SciFi"
  • films with any genre apart from "SciFi"
  • films with the genre of "Western" released before 2000
  • films that have the world "Matrix" in their title

For the last query, you will need to research the LIKE keyword in postgres.

Extension 1

Write a SQL SELECT statements to:

  • Return the average film rating
  • Return the total number of films
  • Return the average film rating by genre

For these, you will need to research COUNT, AVG and GROUP BY keywords in postgres.

Extension 2

Create a new directors table. Each director should have a name and a unique director id. Recreate your films table and add a directorId column. Insert a few director records (the data does not need to be real, you can just make directors up). Re-insert your film data, updating each film with have a directorId. Using a SQL JOIN, write a SELECT statement that returns a list of films with their director.

Extension 3

Write a SQL SELECT statement that returns a lists of directors along with the number of films they have directed.
