Advances Queries

1. Consider the following relational database schema

Student ( Student-id, Sname, major, GPA)

Faculty (Faculty-id, fname, dept,designation,salary)

Course (Course-id,Cname,Faculty-id) Enrol (Course-id,Student-id,grade)

Write the following queries in SQL:

List the names of all students enrolled for the course “15CS53” and have received “A” grade.

List all the departments having an average salary of above Rs. 10,000.

Give a 20% raise to a salary of all faculty.

Add ‘John’ as an employee with id = 99, and Major =’Maths’ GPA=’B’.

Retrieve the faculty who gets the second highest salary.

2. Consider the following relations for a database.

Supplier (Sno, Sname, Status, City)

Product (EnQ. Pname, Color. Weight, City) Shipments (Sno, Pno, Qty)
