SQL EXERCISES 4 Grouping and subtotals, Subqueries

1. Find out the total number of course participants per each course. Display "Number of participants"
and course code. Sort the result by (number of participants in descending order, course code in
ascending order).

2. How many passing grades does each student have? Display "Number of grades" and student
number. Sort the result by (number of grades in descending order, student number in ascending
order).

3. What is the average grade for each student? Display 'Average grade' and student number. Sort the
result by student number in ascending order.

a) First version: display the average grade as an integer (no rounding etc.)
b) Second version: display the correct average grade with two decimal places.

4. How many course instances has each teacher given? Display teacher number and the number of
course instances. Rename the second column as "Number of course instances". Sort the result by
teacher number.

5. How many different courses has each teacher given? Display teacher number and "Number of
different courses". Sort the result by (number of different courses in descending order, teacher
number in ascending order)

6. List all the teachers who have given more than one course instance. Display teacher number and
"Number of course instances". Sort the result by teacher number.

7. List for each student the student number, average grade, highest grade, and lowest grade. In the
query, rename the columns as "Average grade", "Highest grade", and "Lowest grade". Sort the
result by (average grade, student number).

NOTE: Display the correct average grade with two decimal places.

8. List the same information as in the previous task, but this time only for those students, whose grade
average is above 3.

Subqueries ...

9. In which course instances is the number of participants above the average? Display number of
participants, course code, and instance number. Sort the result by (number of participants in
descending order, course code in ascending order, instance number in ascending order).

10. List all the students (surname, first name, student number) who have not passed any courses. Sort
the result in ascending order by (surname, first name, student number).

Hint: The table CouseGrade contains facts on all the passing grades. The table Student contains
facts on all the students.
