Scenario 1- Practice Set 1 Online Bookstore

Here's a case study with questions and answers that can be solved using
MySQL:
Consider an online bookstore that sells books to customers. The bookstore
maintains a database with the following tables:

Table: books
Columns:
- book_id (int, primary key)
- title (varchar)
- author (varchar)
- price (decimal)

Table: customers
Columns:
- customer_id (int, primary key)
- name (varchar)
- email (varchar)
- address (varchar)

Table: orders
Columns:
- order_id (int, primary key)
- customer_id (int, foreign key referencing customers.customer_id)
- book_id (int, foreign key referencing books.book_id)
- quantity (int)
- order_date (date)

Table: payments
Columns:
- payment_id (int, primary key)
- order_id (int, foreign key referencing orders.order_id)
- payment_date (date)
- amount (decimal)

Statement to create above tables:

CREATE TABLE books (
book_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(255),
author VARCHAR(255),
price DECIMAL(10, 2)
);
CREATE TABLE customers (
customer_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255),
email VARCHAR(255),
address VARCHAR(255)

);
CREATE TABLE orders (
order_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id INT,
book_id INT,
quantity INT,
order_date DATE,
FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(customer_id),
FOREIGN KEY (book_id) REFERENCES books(book_id)
);
CREATE TABLE payments (
payment_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
order_id INT,
payment_date DATE,
amount DECIMAL(10, 2),
FOREIGN KEY (order_id) REFERENCES orders(order_id)
);

INSERT data into above tables:

INSERT INTO books (book_id, title, author, price)

VALUES (1, 'Book 1', 'Author 1', 10.99),
(2, 'Book 2', 'Author 2', 12.99),
(3, 'Book 3', 'Author 3', 9.99),
(4, 'Book 4', 'Author 4', 15.99),
(5, 'Book 5', 'Author 5', 8.99);

INSERT INTO customers (customer_id, name, email, address)

VALUES (1, 'Customer 1', '[email protected]', 'Address 1'),
(2, 'Customer 2', '[email protected]', 'Address 2'),

INSERT INTO orders (order_id, customer_id, book_id, quantity,

order_date)
VALUES (1, 1, 1, 2, '2023-06-01'),
(2, 2, 3, 1, '2023-06-02'),
(3, 3, 2, 3, '2023-06-03'),
(4, 4, 4, 2, '2023-06-04'),
(5, 5, 5, 1, '2023-06-05');

INSERT INTO payments (payment_id, order_id, payment_date, amount)

VALUES (1, 1, '2023-06-02', 21.98),
(2, 2, '2023-06-03', 9.99),
(3, 3, '2023-06-04', 38.97),
(4, 4, '2023-06-05', 31.98),
(5, 5, '2023-06-06', 8.99);

You can commit the data now.

Now, let's proceed with the questions and their corresponding SQL queries:

Question 1: Retrieve the details of all customers.

SELECT * FROM customers;

Question 2: Retrieve the titles and authors of all books.

Question 6: Retrieve the customer who has made the highest payment.
SELECT customers.customer_id, customers.name,
MAX(payments.amount) AS highest_payment
FROM customers
JOIN orders ON customers.customer_id = orders.customer_id
JOIN payments ON orders.order_id = payments.order_id;

Question 7: Retrieve the book with the highest price.

SELECT * FROM books
WHERE price = (SELECT MAX(price) FROM books);

Question 8: Retrieve the number of books sold for each customer.

SELECT customers.name, SUM(orders.quantity) AS total_books_sold
FROM customers
JOIN orders ON customers.customer_id = orders.customer_id
GROUP BY customers.name;

Question 9: Retrieve the customer who has made the most orders.
SELECT customers.customer_id, customers.name,
COUNT(orders.order_id) AS order_count
FROM customers
JOIN orders ON customers.customer_id = orders.customer_id
GROUP BY customers.customer_id
ORDER BY order_count DESC

Question 10: Retrieve the customers who have not placed any orders.
SELECT customers.customer_id, customers.name
FROM customers
LEFT JOIN orders ON customers.customer_id = orders.customer_id
WHERE orders.order_id IS NULL;

These are just a few examples of the kinds of queries you can perform on the
given database schema. Depending on your specific requirements, you can
create more complex queries to extract meaningful insights from the data.
