MySQL

Exercises

Were using the data set from courseras DB class
https://class.coursera.org/db/quiz/attempt?quiz_id=128. We planned to use this
since you can use their site to run queries and get feedback without setting up
MySQL but it seems that this is currently down. Weve used some of their exercises,
removed some, and added others.
Exercise 0

Do the suggested reading and setup MySQL on scripts.mit.edu, if you havent


already:
6.470.scripts.mit.edu/2013/assets/resources/MySQL%20Reading.pdf
Download the database export so you can import it to do the exercises:
http://6.470.scripts.mit.edu/2013/assets/resources/rating.sql
Open this SQL file and copy all of the text.
Go to phpMyAdmin, select your test database, and go to the SQL tab. Paste
the contents of rating.sql and click go.

You should now have the database for testing. You may have to reload your page to
see the tables listed in the left column. Now go back to the SQL tab for doing the
exercises.

Exercise 2
