Intermediate SQL Queries workshop

Setup

  • Run psql
  • You may need to run CREATE DATABASE intermediate_sql;
  • To exit this shell, you can run CTRL d
  • If you’d rather try doing this within the context of a Rails app, and use ActiveRecord, check out this repo

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);
