SELECT from Nobel Tutorial - SQLZOO

nobel Nobel Laureates

This tutorial is concerned with a table of Nobel prize winners:

nobel(yr, subject, winner)

Using the SELECT statement.

条件筛选可用括号：Chemistry and Physics from different years

8.

Show the year, subject, and name of physics winners for 1980 together with the chemistry winners for 1984.

SELECT yr,subject,winner
FROM nobel
WHERE (subject='physics' AND yr=1980) OR (subject='chemistry' AND yr=1984)

“除了”：Exclude Chemists and Medics

9.

Show the year, subject, and name of winners for 1980 excluding chemistry and medicine

SELECT * 
FROM nobel 
WHERE yr=1980 AND subject NOT IN ('Medicine','Chemistry') 

当时想用EXCEPT，但显然EXCEPT太麻烦了！！

另外，＊可以代表all，要善用。

字符串内有单引号时：Apostrophe

12.

Find all details of the prize won by EUGENE O'NEILL

Escaping single quotes

SELECT * 
FROM nobel   
WHERE winner='EUGENE O''NEILL'

按顺序展示，ORDER BY语句：Knights of the realm

13.

Knights in order

List the winners, year and subject where the winner starts with Sir. Show the the most recent first, then by name order.

SELECT winner,yr,subject
FROM nobel
WHERE winner LIKE　'Sir%'
ORDER BY yr desc,winner

SELECT * 得到的是year，subject，winner的列顺序，但题目要求的是winner，year，subject的顺序。

Chemistry and Physics last

14.

The expression subject IN ('chemistry','physics') can be used as a value - it will be 0 or 1.

Show the 1984 winners and subject ordered by subject and winner name; but list chemistry and physics last.

SELECT winner, subject 
FROM nobel 
WHERE yr=1984 
ORDER BY subject in('Chemistry','Physics'),subject,winner

subject in()条件是一个Boolean表达式。值为false的会显示在true的前面。意思就是如果subject不在(‘Physics’,‘Chemistry’)里面，值为false，会显示在值为true（即subject在化学和物理里面）的前面。所以Physics 和 Chemistry会显示在最后。
