Self join
Edinburgh Buses
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 route JOIN stops ON (id = stop)
WHERE num = 4 AND company = 'LRT'
ORDER BY pos
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、Execute the self join shown and observe that b.stop gives all the places you can get to from Craiglockhart, without changing routes. Change the query so that it shows the services from Craiglockhart to London Road.
SELECT a.company, a.num, a.stop, b.stop
FROM route a JOIN route b ON (a.company = b.company AND a.num = b.num)
WHERE a.stop = 53 AND b.stop = 149
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. If you are tired of these places try ‘Fairmilehead’ against ‘Tollcross’
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 company, num
FROM route WHERE num IN (SELECT a.num FROM route AS a, route AS b
WHERE a.company = b.company AND a.num = b.num
AND a.stop = '115' AND b.stop = '137')
GROUP BY num, company
8、Give a list of the services which connect the stops ‘Craiglockhart’ and ‘Tollcross’
SELECT b.company, b.num
FROM route a JOIN route b ON (a.company = a.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 = '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 stopb.name, a.company, a.num
FROM route AS a JOIN route AS b ON (a.company = b.company AND a.num = b.num)
JOIN stops AS stopa ON (stopa.id = a.stop)
JOIN stops AS stopb ON (stopb.id = b.stop)
WHERE stopa.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 v1.r1num, v1.r1com, v1.trans1, v2.r4num, v2.r4com
FROM (SELECT s1.name AS begin, r1.num AS r1num, r1.company AS r1com, s2.name AS trans1
FROM route r1 JOIN route r2 ON r1.company = r2.company AND r1.num = r2.num
JOIN stops s1 ON s1.id = r1.stop
JOIN stops s2 ON s2.id = r2.stop
WHERE s1.name = 'Craiglockhart') AS v1
JOIN(SELECT s3.name AS trans2, r4.num AS r4num, r4.company AS r4com, s4.name AS final
FROM route r3 JOIN route r4 ON r3.company = r4.company AND r3.num = r4.num
JOIN stops s3 ON s3.id = r3.stop
JOIN stops s4 ON s4.id = r4.stop
WHERE s4.name = 'Lochend') AS v2 ON v1.trans1 = v2.trans2
ORDER BY r1num, trans1, r4num
