Project 3

Using the same database as we used in the theory, use queries to return the following:

1. Return the unique values of the year column.

2. Retrieve all the recent movies, specifically those that were released after 2014. Select all the columns, using *.

3. Select all the information about the movie titles that begin with the word The. You might need a space in there!

4. Write a query to find all the movies without an IMDb rating. Select only the name column!

5. Using the BETWEEN operator, write a new query that selects all information about movies that were released in the 1970’s.

6. Suppose we have a picky friend who only wants to watch old horror films. Using AND, write a new query that selects all movies made prior to 1985 that are also in the horror genre.

7. Suppose we are in the mood for a good laugh or a good cry. Using OR, write a query that returns all movies that are either a romance or a comedy.

8. Write a new query that retrieves the name, year, and imdb_rating columns of all the movies, ordered highest to lowest by their ratings.

9. Combining your knowledge of LIMIT and ORDER BY, write a query that returns the top 3 highest rated movies. Select all the columns.

10. Select the name column and use a CASE statement to create the second column that is:

  • 'Chill' if genre = 'romance';
  • 'Chill' if genre = 'comedy';
  • 'Intense' in all other cases.

Optional: Rename the whole CASE statement to Mood using AS.
