1.How many stops are in the database
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM stops
2.Find the id value for the stop ‘Craiglockhart’
SELECT id FROM stops WHERE name = ‘Craiglockhart’
3.Give the id and the name for the stops on the ‘4’ ‘LRT’ service
SELECT id, name FROM stops JOIN route on id = stop WHERE num = ‘4’ AND company = ‘LRT’
4.The query shown gives the number of routes that visit either London Road (149) or Craiglockhart (53). Run the query and notice the two services that link these stops have a count of 2. Add a HAVING clause to restrict the output to these two routes
SELECT company, num, COUNT()
FROM route WHERE stop=149 OR stop=53
GROUP BY company, num HAVING COUNT() = 2
5.shows the services from Craiglockhart to London Road
SELECT a.company, a.num, a.stop, b.stop
FROM route a JOIN route b ON

WHERE a.stop = (SELECT id FROM stops WHERE name = ‘Craiglockhart’) AND b.stop = (SELECT id FROM stops WHERE name = ‘London Road’)
6.The query shown is similar to the previous one, however by joining two copies of the stops table we can refer to stops by name rather than by number. Change the query so that the services between ‘Craiglockhart’ and ‘London Road’ are shown
SELECT a.company, a.num, stopa.name, stopb.name
FROM route a JOIN route b ON
(a.company=b.company AND a.num=b.num)
JOIN stops stopa ON (a.stop=stopa.id)
JOIN stops stopb ON (b.stop=stopb.id)
WHERE stopa.name=‘Craiglockhart’ and stopb.name = ‘London Road’
7.Give a list of all the services which connect stops 115 and 137 (‘Haymarket’ and ‘Leith’)
SELECT a.company, a.num FROM route a, route b WHERE a.company=b.company AND a.num=b.num AND a.stop = 115 AND b.stop = 137 GROUP BY a.company, a.num
8.Give a list of the services which connect the stops ‘Craiglockhart’ and ‘Tollcross’
SELECT a.company, a.num FROM route a, route b, stops sa, stops sb
WHERE a.company=b.company AND a.num=b.num AND a.stop = sa.id AND b.stop = sb.id AND sa.name = ‘Craiglockhart’ AND sb.name = ‘Tollcross’
9.Give a distinct list of the stops which may be reached from ‘Craiglockhart’ by taking one bus, including ‘Craiglockhart’ itself, offered by the LRT company. Include the company and bus no. of the relevant services
SELECT DISTINCT(b.name), ra.company, ra.num FROM stops a, stops b, route ra, route rb
WHERE ra.company=rb.company AND ra.num=rb.num AND ra.stop = a.id AND rb.stop = b.id AND
a.name = ‘Craiglockhart’
10.Find the routes involving two buses that can go from Craiglockhart to Lochend. Show the bus no. and company for the first bus, the name of the stop for the transfer, and the bus no. and company for the second bus.
SELECT DISTINCT c.num, c.company, s3.name, d.num, d.company
FROM route a, route b, route c, route d, stops s1, stops s2, stops s3, stops s4
