CS TECHIIE | SQL Notes and Solutions

Practical SQL exercise: Uses a half-open date range to include all times in the year.

Objective

Uses a half-open date range to include all times in the year.

Explanation

Read the statement clause by clause and predict the result before executing it. These examples use common relational SQL; table setup and exact syntax can vary between MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle and SQLite.

Safety check

Before running UPDATE or DELETE, run a SELECT with the same WHERE condition. Use a test database and a transaction for changes you need to verify.

Program / SQL Solution

SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date >= DATE '2026-01-01' AND order_date < DATE '2027-01-01';

Practice and revision

  • Run the example and verify the output.
  • Change the input and test normal, boundary and invalid cases.
  • Write the solution again without looking at the notes.
