Plaksha SQL assignment

Submission details:
Please submit this as a Jupyter Notebook and a PDF of your results (both should show output). Also push your solutions to Github.

For the submision create a local database with sqlite3 or sqlalchemy in a Jupyter notebook and make the queries either with a cursor
object (and then print the results) or by using pandas pd.read_sql_query() .

When completing this homework you can experiment with SQL commands by utilizing this great online editor:

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/trysql.asp?filename=trysql_select_all

There are already some tables in the online Database, namely:

Categories, Employees, OrderDetails, Orders, Products, Shippers, and Suppliers.

If you want you can drop them by running DROP TABLE [table-name]; (or just keep them).

Exercises:
First create a table called students. It has the columns: 'student_id', 'name', 'major', 'gpa' and 'enrollment_date' We will use a new form of CREATE
TABLE expression to produce this table.

Note that you can improve this and are welcome to do so -- e.g. by specifying for example a PRIMARY KEY and a FOREIGN KEY in Q2 :)

CREATE TABLE students AS
    SELECT 1 AS student_id, "John" AS name, "Computer Science" AS major, 3.5 AS gpa, "01-01-2022" AS enrollment_date UNION
    SELECT 2, "Jane", "Physics", 3.8, "01-02-2022" UNION
    SELECT 3, "Bob", "Engineering", 3.0, "01-03-2022" UNION
    SELECT 4, "Samantha", "Physics", 3.9, "01-04-2022" UNION
    SELECT 5, "James", "Engineering", 3.7, "01-05-2022" UNION
    SELECT 6, "Emily", "Computer Science", 3.6, "01-06-2022" UNION
    SELECT 7, "Michael", "Computer Science", 3.2, "01-07-2022" UNION
    SELECT 8, "Jessica", "Engineering", 3.8, "01-08-2022" UNION
    SELECT 9, "Jacob", "Physics", 3.4, "01-09-2022" UNION
    SELECT 10, "Ashley", "Physics", 3.9, "01-10-2022";

Q1 Simple SELECTS (on the students table)

1. SELECT all records in the table.
2. SELECT students whose major is "Computer Science".
3. SELECT all unique majors (use SELECT DISTINCT) and order them by name, descending order (i.e. Physics first).
4. SELECT all students that have an 'e' in their name and order them by gpa in ascending order.

Q2 Joins
Create a new table called courses, which indicates the courses taken by the students.

Create the table by running:

CREATE TABLE courses AS
    SELECT 1 AS course_id, "Python programming" AS course_name, 1 AS student_id, "A" AS grade UNION
    SELECT 2, "Data Structures", 2, "B" UNION
    SELECT 3, "Database Systems", 3, "B" UNION
    SELECT 1, "Python programming", 4, "A" UNION
    SELECT 4, "Quantum Mechanics", 5, "C" UNION

04/02/2023, 01:35 PragyaWasan_SQL-Assignment-3-Plaksha2023.ipynb - Colaboratory
    SELECT 1, "Python programming", 6, "F" UNION
    SELECT 2, "Data Structures", 7, "C" UNION
    SELECT 3, "Database Systems", 8, "A" UNION
    SELECT 4, "Quantum Mechanics", 9, "A" UNION
    SELECT 2, "Data Structures", 10, "F";

1. COUNT the number of unique courses.

2. JOIN the tables students and courses and COUNT the number of students with the major Computer Science taking the course Python
programming.
3. JOIN the tables students and courses and select the students who have grades higher than "C", only show their name, major, gpa,
course_name and grade.

Q3 Aggregate functions, numerical logic and grouping

1. Find the average gpa of all students.
2. SELECT the student with the maximum gpa, display only their student_id, major and gpa
3. SELECT the student with the minimum gpa, display only their student_id, major and gpa
4. SELECT the students with a gpa greater than 3.6 in the majors of "Physics" and "Engineering", display only their student_id, major and gpa
5. Group the students by their major and retrieve the average grade of each major.
6. SELECT the top 2 students with the highest GPA in each major and order the results by major in ascending order, then by GPA in
descending order
