5. 5 Starting a Query: SQL Worksheet SQL statement Results Database connection Execute query Prior commands

6. 6 Sample Query Display snowboards with a list price under $300 and max weight over 150 pounds. SQL Results

7. 7 Formatting Columns Set width Format currency

8. 8 More Complex Query Ski for jumping. Composite material. Red or Yellow main color. Yellow skis must be under $300. Red skis must be under $400 Three main conditions WHERE Category=‘Ski’ AND ItemMaterial=‘Composite’ AND Style=‘Jump’

10. 10 Multiple Conditions ( (Color=‘Yellow’ AND ListPrice<300) OR (Color=‘Red’ AND ListPrice<400) )

11. 11 JOIN Query: Sales Sales in May Cash payment

12. 12 JOIN Tables: Sale + Customer Join condition Additional columns

13. 13 JOIN: SQL COLUMN PaymentMethod Format A15; COLUMN LastName Format A15; COLUMN FirstNAme Format A15; SELECT SaleID, SaleDate, Sale.CustomerID, LastName, FirstName, PaymentMethod FROM Sale INNER JOIN Customer ON Sale.CustomerID = Customer.CustomerID WHERE SaleDate Between '01-May-2004' AND '31-May-2004' AND PaymentMethod='Cash' ;

14. 14 Building a more complex query Which customers bought Atomic skis in January or February? What do you want to see?Customer names, SaleDate What do you know?Manufacturer name, SaleDate range, Category is Ski What tables are involved? How are they joined?
