Using Null------sqlzoo个人笔记

The school includes many departments. Most teachers work exclusively for a single department. Some teachers have no department.

1.List the teachers who have NULL for their department.

select teacher.name from teacher
left join dept on teacher.dept = dept.id
where dept is null

2.Note the INNER JOIN misses the teachers with no department and the departments with no teacher.

select teacher.name, dept.name from teacher
join dept on teacher.dept = dept.id

3.Use a different JOIN so that all teachers are listed.

select teacher.name, dept.name from teacher
left join dept on teacher.dept = dept.id

4.Use a different JOIN so that all departments are listed.

#(1)
select teacher.name, dept.name from dept
left join teacher on teacher.dept = dept.id
#(2)
select teacher.name, dept.name from teacher 
right join dept on teacher.dept = dept.id

5.Use COALESCE to print the mobile number. Use the number ‘07986 444 2266’ if there is no number given. Show teacher name and mobile number or ‘07986 444 2266’

select name, coalesce(mobile, '07986 444 2266') as mobile from teacher
#当mobile为null值，返回‘07986 444 2266’，否则返回mobile的真实值

6.Use the COALESCE function and a LEFT JOIN to print the teacher name and department name. Use the string ‘None’ where there is no department.

select teacher.name, coalesce(dept.name, 'None') as dept from teacher
left join dept on teacher.dept = dept.id

7.Use COUNT to show the number of teachers and the number of mobile phones.

select count(name), count(mobile) from teacher

8.Use COUNT and GROUP BY dept.name to show each department and the number of staff. Use a RIGHT JOIN to ensure that the Engineering department is listed.

select dept.name, count(teacher.name) as number from teacher
right join dept dept on teacher.dept = dept.id
group by dept.name

9.Use CASE to show the name of each teacher followed by ‘Sci’ if the teacher is in dept 1 or 2 and ‘Art’ otherwise.

#(1)
select t.name,
case t.dept when 1 then 'Sci'
            when 2 then 'Sci'
			else 'Art' 
end from teacher t
#(2)
select t.name,
case when t.dept in (1,2) then 'Sci'
else 'Art'
end from teacher t

10.Use CASE to show the name of each teacher followed by ‘Sci’ if the teacher is in dept 1 or 2, show ‘Art’ if the teacher’s dept is 3 and ‘None’ otherwise.

#(1)
select name,
case when dept in (1, 2) then 'Sci'
     when dept = 3 then 'Art'
     else 'None'
end from teacher
#(2)
select name,
case dept when 1 then 'Sci'
          when 2 then 'Sci'
          when 3 then 'Art'
          else 'None'
end from teacher
