Need help regarding a question.

  • 1)Please write an SQL query for the following.

    Consider the following tables.

    Genre

    Genre

    gid genre_name

    521 Classical

    523 Pop

    627 Fusion

    Music

    gid mid Era

    521 m1 60s

    523 m2 70s

    627 m3 80s

    Artist

    sid mid art_id

    3112 m1 art1

    5431 m1 art2

    2341 m1 art3

    6598 m2 art3

    7854 m3 art1

    9874 m3 art3

    Artist_name

    art_id artist_name

    art1 Yanni

    art2 Pavarotti

    art3 A R Rahman

    From the above, write a single SQL query to get the genre_name, artist_name for all the cases where the genre has been composed by BOTH Yanni & A R Rahman and the genre has NOT been composed by BOTH Yanni & Pavarotti. Also write the result based on the data from the above tables.

  • Looks like you need to do some research on JOINS for starters.

  • That looks remarkably like a homework question.

    We're quite willing to spend our time guiding through this, but won't write it for you. Show us what you have tried so far or let us know what problems you are having with getting the solution together.

  • here is dml for the required tables.

    create table #Genre(gid int, Genre_name varchar(100))

    insert into #Genre values(521,'classical')

    insert into #Genre values(523,'pop')

    insert into #Genre values ( 627,'fusion')

    Create table #music(gid int,mid varchar(10),Era varchar(20))

    insert into #music values(521,'m1','60s')

    insert into #music values(523,'m2','70s')

    insert into #music values(627,'m3','80s')

    create table #Artist(sid int,mid varchar(20),art_id varchar(20))

    insert into #Artist values(3112,'m1','art1')

    insert into #Artist values(5431,'m1','art2')

    insert into #Artist values(2341,'m1','art3')

    insert into #Artist values(6598,'m2','art3')

    insert into #Artist values(7854,'m3','art1')

    insert into #Artist values (9874,'m3','art3')

    create table #artist_name(art_id varchar(20),artist_name varchar(20))

    insert into #artist_name values('art1','yanni')

    insert into #artist_name values('art2','pavarotti')

    insert into #artist_name values('art3','ar rahman')

    Hey raghavatgk,

    Why don't you try yourself and post your query if not getting the expected result and believe me if you are in learning phase,will give you a lot of confidence.

  • i implemented the relation between tables like this.

    select Genre_name,artist_name from #Genre G inner join #music M on m.gid=G.gid

    inner join #Artist A on a.mid=M.mid

    inner join #artist_name AM on AM.art_id=A.art_id

    but unable to appliy condition.

  • You can use the INTERSECT and EXCEPT operators

    SELECTAN.artist_name, G.Genre_name

    FROM#Artist AS A

    INNER JOIN#artist_name AS AN ON A.art_id = AN.art_id

    INNER JOIN(

    SELECTA.mid

    FROM#Artist AS A

    WHEREA.art_id IN ( 'art1' )

    INTERSECT

    SELECTA.mid

    FROM#Artist AS A

    WHEREA.art_id IN ( 'art3' )

    EXCEPT

    SELECTA.mid

    FROM#Artist AS A

    WHEREA.art_id IN ( 'art2' )

    ) M ON A.mid = M.mid

    INNER JOIN#music AS M1 ON M.mid = M1.mid

    INNER JOIN#Genre AS G ON M1.gid = G.gid

  • Thanks to all.

    good to know that, it can be done using intersect and except.

    i am done using Exists operator.

    Expecting some more Solutions.:-)

    I guess Kingston got the perfect solution for you as your requirement needs very obvious choice of INTERSECT & EXCEPT.

    However you can post your query as well.:-)

  • Here is the logic which i applyed.

    correct me if i am wrong...

    select Genre_name, artist_name from #Genre G inner join #music M on m.gid=G.gid

    inner join #Artist A on a.mid=M.mid

    inner join #artist_name AM on AM.art_id=A.art_id

    --where artist_name='yanni'

    and exists(

    select Genre_name, artist_name from #Genre s inner join #music M on m.gid=G.gid

    inner join #Artist A on a.mid=M.mid

    inner join #artist_name AM on AM.art_id=A.art_id where s.gid=G.gid and artist_name='ar rahman'

    )

    and not exists(

    select Genre_name, artist_name from #Genre s inner join #music M on m.gid=G.gid

    inner join #Artist A on a.mid=M.mid

    inner join #artist_name AM on AM.art_id=A.art_id where s.gid=G.gid and artist_name='pavarotti'

    )

    and exists(

    select Genre_name, artist_name from #Genre s inner join #music M on m.gid=G.gid

    inner join #Artist A on a.mid=M.mid

    inner join #artist_name AM on AM.art_id=A.art_id where s.gid=G.gid and artist_name='yanni'

    )
