a.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
Select title from where dept_name= ‘Comp.Sci’ and credits=3
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “from”, and “where” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- This query selects the title of courses where department matches with “Comp.Sci” department and credits is equal to “3”.
b.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
Select distinct student.ID from (student join takes using (ID)) join (instructor join teaches using(ID)) using(course_id,sec_id,semester,year) where instructor.name= ‘Einstein’
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “distinct”, “from”, “join”, “using” and “where” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- In this query, the join operation is performed between student and instructor table using the ID’s.
- Then it retrieves the fields such as course id, section id, semester and year of the student. In that fields, select the distinct student ID taught by the instructor name “Einstein”.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
Select max(salary) from instructor
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “from”, and “max” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- This query selects the maximum salary of the instructor from instructor table.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
Select ID,name from instructor where salary=(select max(salary) from instructor)
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “from”, and “where” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- This query selects the ID and name from the instructor table where salary is equal to maximum salary from the instructor table.
e.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
Select course_id,sec_id,count(ID) from section natural join takes where semester= ‘Fall’ and year=2017 group by course_id, sec_id
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “from”, “natural join”, “group by” and “where” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- This query selects the course id, section id and count of enrollment of each section where semester is “Fall” season and year is “2017”.
f.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
Select max(enrollment) from (select count(ID) as enrollment from section natural join takes where semester= ‘Fall’ and year=2017 group by course_id, sec_id)
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “from”, “natural join”, “group by” and “where” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- This query selects the number of IDs from enrolment sections where semester is “Fall” season and year is “2017”.
- After selecting number of IDs, select the maximum enrollment from all section.
g.
Explanation of Solution
Query:
With sec_enrollment as (select course_id,sec_id,count(ID) from section natural join takes where semester= ‘Fall’ and year=2017 group by course_id, sec_id)
Select course_id,sec_id from sec_enrollment where enrollment=(select max(enrollment) from sec_enrollment)
Explanation:
- In the above query, “Select”, “from”, “natural join”, “group by” and “where” are the keywords in Structured Query Language (SQL).
- This first inner query selects the number of IDs from enrolment sections where semester is “Fall” season and year is “2017”.
- After selecting number of IDs, select the maximum enrollment from all section.
- It is stored in temporary view as “sec_enrollment”.
- Next the second inner query selects the maximum enrollment from “sec_enrollment” which displays the section id, course id from the table.

- I would like to get help to resolve the following casearrow_forwardLast Chance Securities The IT director opened the department staff meeting today by saying, "I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that management approved the payroll system project this morning. The new system will reduce clerical time and errors, improve morale in the payroll department, and avoid possible fines and penalties for noncompliance. The bad news is that the system must be installed by January 1st in order to meet new federal reporting rules, all expenses from now on must be approved in advance, the system should have a modular design if possible, and the vice president of finance would like to announce the new system in a year-end report if it is ready by mid-December."

Signed Integers Unsigned binary numbers work for natural numbers, but many calculations use negative numbers as well. To deal with this, a number of different methods have been used to represent signed numbers, but we will focus on two's complement, as it is the standard solution for representing signed integers. 2.1 Two's complement • Most significant bit has a negative value, all others are positive. So, the value of an n-digit -2 two's complement number can be written as: Σ2 2¹ di 2n-1 dn • Otherwise exactly the same as unsigned integers. i=0 - • A neat trick for flipping the sign of a two's complement number: flip all the bits (0 becomes 1, or 1 becomes 0) and then add 1 to the least significant bit. • Addition is exactly the same as with an unsigned number. 2.2 Exercises For questions 1-3, answer each one for the case of a two's complement number and an unsigned number, indicating if it cannot be answered with a specific representation. 1.
