Create tables

Let's create some tables in the database.

CREATE TABLE students(id SERIAL, name TEXT);
CREATE TABLE classes(id SERIAL, name TEXT, teacher_id INT);
CREATE TABLE teachers(id SERIAL, name TEXT, room_number INT);
CREATE TABLE enrollments(id SERIAL, student_id INT, class_id INT, grade INT);

Add data

Let's insert some students.

Practice!!

  • List all the students and their classes
  • List all the students and their classes and rename the columns to "student" and "class"
  • List all the students and their average grade
  • List all the students and a count of how many classes they are currently enrolled in
  • List all the students and their class count IF they are in more than 2 classes
  • List all the teachers for each student
  • List all the teachers for each student grouped by each student
  • Find the average grade for a each class
  • List students' name and their grade IF their grade is lower than the average.

I believe the varying issue depends on whether you are using the shorthand. If you specify SELECT c.name AS class it runs without an error, but it does error if you try to use the shorthand SELECT c.name class.
