Answer 1

This demonstration is using MySQL :

1. List the title_name and book type of the books that are published earlier than the earliest biography book

SQL Query :

select title_name,type from titles where pubdate <
(select min(pubdate) from titles where type='biography');

Query result :

*******************************

2. List the title_name and book type of the books published by 'Abatis Publishers' :

SQL Query :

select title_name,type from titles inner join publishers
on titles.pub_id=publishers.pub_id
and pub_name like'Abatis Publishers';

Query result :

*********************************

3. Find the name(s) of the publisher(s) that have not published any book :

SQL Query :

select pub_name from publishers where pub_id not in
(select pub_id from titles);

Query result :

*********************************

4. Find the name(s) of the publisher(s) who have published the computer book :

SQL Query :

select pub_name from publishers inner join titles
on titles.pub_id=publishers.pub_id and
type like 'Computer';

Query result :
