Practice building SQL select queries


Structured Query Language (SQL) is the standard means
of manipulating and querying data in relational databases
You may have practiced with W3Schools SQL tutorial, but now let's use Mr. Jones' Practice SQL tool to create a few queries.
You don't have to do this for a grade,
but it would not hurt to try it out and get comfortable with SQL syntax

Create three SQL queries

  1. select all the titles from tblBook where the language is German and include both the titles and the language in the result
    if your query is successful, paste a copy of the query in cell N1 on your 05-Summary worksheet
  2. select all the names from tblPublisher where the city is like Berlin and include both the name and the country in the result
    if your query is successful, paste a copy of the query in cell N2 on your 05-Summary worksheet
  3. select all the titles from tblBook where the topic includes the word Virginia and include both the titles and the topic in the result, sorted by the title
    if your query is successful, paste a copy of the query in cell N3 on your 05-Summary worksheet
