SQL Part 5 Practice Questions and Answers

The document outlines the creation of two database tables: Students and Courses, including their structure and sample data. It provides SQL queries demonstrating various types of joins (Inner, Left, Right, Full Outer, and Self Join) to retrieve information about students and their enrolled courses. Additionally, it includes an example of inserting a new student to facilitate a self-join query for finding students with the same age.

Table 1: Students

This table contains information about students.

CREATE TABLE Students (

StudentID INT PRIMARY KEY,

StudentName VARCHAR(100),

Age INT

);

INSERT INTO Students (StudentID, StudentName, Age) VALUES

(1, 'Alice', 20),

(2, 'Bob', 22),

(3, 'Charlie', 21),

(4, 'David', 23),

(5, 'Eve', 19);

Table 2: Courses

This table contains information about courses students have enrolled in.

CREATE TABLE Courses (

CourseID INT PRIMARY KEY,

StudentID INT,

CourseName VARCHAR(100),

FOREIGN KEY (StudentID) REFERENCES Students(StudentID)


);

INSERT INTO Courses (CourseID, StudentID, CourseName) VALUES

(101, 1, 'Math'),

(102, 2, 'Science'),

(103, 3, 'History'),

(104, 5, 'English'),

(105, 5, 'Physics'),

(106, NULL, 'Chemistry'); -- No student enrolled in Chemistry

Questions and Answers for Joins

1. Inner Join:

Question: Write a query to fetch all students along with the courses they are
enrolled in, displaying only students who are enrolled in at least one course.

SELECT Students.StudentName, Courses.CourseName


FROM Students
INNER JOIN Courses ON Students.StudentID = Courses.StudentID;

Answer:

StudentName CourseName

Alice Math

Bob Science

Charlie History

Eve English
StudentName CourseName

Eve Physics

2. Left Join:

Question: Write a query to fetch all students along with the courses they are
enrolled in, including students who are not enrolled in any course.

SELECT Students.StudentName, Courses.CourseName


FROM Students
LEFT JOIN Courses ON Students.StudentID = Courses.StudentID;

Answer:

StudentName CourseName

Alice Math

Bob Science

Charlie History

David NULL

Eve English

Eve Physics

3. Right Join:

Question: Write a query to fetch all courses along with the names of the students
enrolled in them, including courses without any students enrolled.

SELECT Students.StudentName, Courses.CourseName


FROM Students
RIGHT JOIN Courses ON Students.StudentID = Courses.StudentID;

Answer:
StudentName CourseName

Alice Math

Bob Science

Charlie History

Eve English

Eve Physics

NULL Chemistry

4. Full Outer Join:

Question: Write a query to fetch all students and courses, including students
without any course and courses without any student.

SELECT Students.StudentName, Courses.CourseName


FROM Students
FULL OUTER JOIN Courses ON Students.StudentID = Courses.StudentID;

Answer:

StudentName CourseName

Alice Math

Bob Science

Charlie History

David NULL

Eve English

Eve Physics

NULL Chemistry
5. Self Join:

To ensure that the self-join query produces results, we will insert a new student
record with the same age as an existing student.

-- Insert a new student with the same age as 'Charlie'


INSERT INTO Students (StudentID, StudentName, Age) VALUES (6, 'Frank',
21);

Question: Write a query to Find Pairs of Students with the Same Age

Now that we have two students (Charlie and Frank) with the same age, the self-join
query will produce results:

SELECT A.StudentName AS Student1, B.StudentName AS Student2, A.Age


FROM Students A, Students B
WHERE A.Age = B.Age AND A.StudentID <> B.StudentID;

Result

Student1 Student2 Age


Charlie Frank 21
Frank Charlie 21
