What to Focus On

  • CARSHOWROOM contains INVENTORY, CUSTOMER, SALE, and EMPLOYEE.
  • INVENTORY uses CarId as primary key.
  • CUSTOMER uses CustId as primary key.
  • Single row functions are scalar functions.
  • Aggregate functions are multiple row functions.
  • Single row functions can appear in SELECT, WHERE, and ORDER BY.
  • POWER(X,Y) and POW(X,Y) are the same function.
  • ROUND(N,D) rounds a number to D decimal places.
  • If D = 0, ROUND gives the nearest integer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

COUNT(column) and COUNT(*) always give the same result.

WHERE can be used to filter grouped results after GROUP BY.

Aggregate functions can be used in WHERE, ORDER BY, and SELECT in the same way as single row functions.
