SQLZOO continue-------SELECT from Nobel Tutorial

SELECT from Nobel Tutorial： 

We continue practicing simple SQL queries on a single table.

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

#1 

Change the query shown so that it displays Nobel prizes for 1950.

SELECT * FROM nobel 

WHERE yr = 1950

 

#2  Show who won the 1962 prize for Literature.

SELECT name FROM nobel

WHERE yr = 1962 and  subject = 'Literature' 

 

#3 

 

Show the year and subject that won 'Albert Einstein' his prize.

SELECT yr, subject FROM nobel

WHERE winner = 'ALbert Einstein' 

 

#4

Give the name of the 'Peace' winners since the year 2000, including 2000.

SELECT winner FROM nobel 

WHERE subject = 'Peace' and yr >= 2000

 

#5 

Show all details (yr, subject, winner) of the Literature prize winners for 1980 to 1989 inclusive.

SELECT yr, subject, winner FROM nobel

WHERE subject = 'Literature' and yr BETWEEN 1980 AND 1989 

#6 Show all details of the presidential winners:

• Theodore Roosevelt
• Woodrow Wilson
• Jimmy Carter
• Barack Obama

SELECT * FROM nobel

WHERE winner IN ('Theodore Roosevelt','Woodrow Wilson','Jimmy Carter','Barack Obama') 

 

# 7

Show the winners with first name John

SELECT winner FROM nobel

WHERE winner LIKE 'John %'

# 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)

 

#9

Show the year, subject, and name of winners for 1980 excluding Chemistry and Medicine

SELECT yr, subject ,winner FROM nobel 

WHERE yr = 1980 and subject NOT IN ('Chemistry','Medicine')

 

#10 

Show year, subject, and name of people who won a 'Medicine' prize in an early year (before 1910, not including 1910) together with winners of a 'Literature' prize in a later year (after 2004, including 2004)

SELECT yr, subject, winner FROM nobel

WHERE (subject = 'Medicine' and yr < 1910) OR (subject = 'Literature' and yr >=2004)

#11  Find all details of the prize won by PETER GRÜNBERG

SELECT * FROM nobel

WHERE winner LIKE 'PETER GRÜNBERG' 

 

#12

Escaping single quotes

You can't put a single quote in a quote string directly. You can use two single quotes within a quoted string.

 

#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 

 

# 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 
CASE WHEN subject in ('Physics','Chemistry') then 1 else 0 end,subject,winner
