Project Summary

In this project we will be practicing inserting and querying data using SQL. We'll make use of a handy online tool called Chinook that we'll use to write SQL online. Click me

On the left are the Tables with their fields, the right is where we will be writing our queries, and the bottom is where we will see our results.

Any new tables or records that we add into the database will be removed after you refresh the page.

Use www.sqlteaching.com or sqlbolt.com as resources for the missing keywords you'll need.

Table - People

Instructions

1. Create a table called Person that records a person's ID, Name, Age, Height ( in cm ), City, FavoriteColor.
   • ID should be an auto-incrementing id/primary key - Use type: INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT
2. Add 5 different people into the Person database.
   • Remember to not include the ID because it should auto-increment.

4. List all the people in the Person table by Height from shortest to tallest.
5. List all the people in the Person table by Age from oldest to youngest.
