Scenario:

You work for a DVD rental company. Your manager has asked you to pull some data on the company, its inventory, and customers. You will complete this by developing and running SQL queries.

Initialize Your Database (NOTE: If you already did this in Project 1, you do not need to do this step again):

1. Download RentalCompany.sql from Doc Sharing.

a. Run the script to create tables and data. You should not receive errors. There may be a few warnings, but that is okay.

b. To verify you created all tables, run the following SQL:

SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS, TABLE_TYPE, CREATE_TIME FROM `information_schema`.`tables` WHERE `table_schema` = 'rentalcompany' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE';

Your results should look like the table below. This will help verify that you properly created the schema/database and tables.

actor 200 BASE TABLE
address 603 BASE TABLE
category 16 BASE TABLE
city 600 BASE TABLE
country 109 BASE TABLE
customer 599 BASE TABLE
film 1000 BASE TABLE
film_actor 5463 BASE TABLE
film_category 1000 BASE TABLE
film_text 1000 BASE TABLE
inventory 4581 BASE TABLE
language 6 BASE TABLE
payment 16086 BASE TABLE
rental 16005 BASE TABLE
staff 2 BASE TABLE
store 2 BASE TABLE

Directions:

1. Create a query to demonstrate use of the EXISTS keyword. List all the actors (ID, First Name, Last Name) from the actors table whose actor ID exists in the film_actor table. Only list those that have a film ID greater than 400. You must construct your statement like it was demonstrated to you in the tutorial for Chapter 18.

2. Create a query to demonstrate the use of NOT IN. List all columns from the category table where the name equals Comedy and name is not in Drama or Action.

3. Create a query to demonstrate the use of NOT IN and AND. List all columns from the category table where the name is not in Comedy or Action and category ID is 3 or 4.

4. Create a query to demonstrate the use of a CASE expression. List the film ID and title from the film table. Include a third column named RatingText. RatingText should display Parental Guidance Suggested when the rating on the table is PG, General Audiences when G, and Restricted when R. Otherwise, RatingText should display No Match Found if it does not match any of this criteria. Only show the rows where the film ID is less than 8.

5. Create a query to demonstrate the use of a CASE expression in a WHERE clause. List all customers who are Active. Active is signified by a 1 in the active column of the customer table.
