SQL Setup Code

You can use this sample code to help create tables and add data:

-- Creates a table Name with columns id, first_name, last_name, house

CREATE TABLE Name (id, first_name, last_name, house);
INSERT into Name values ("1", "Harry", "Potter", "1");
INSERT into Name values ("2", "Ron", "Weasley", "1");
INSERT into Name values ("3", "Hermione", "Granger", "1");
INSERT into Name values ("4", "Severus", "Snape", "4");

-- Creates a table House with columns house_name and house_id

CREATE TABLE House (house_name, house_id);
INSERT into House values ("Gryffindor", "1");
INSERT into House values ("Ravenclaw", "2");
INSERT into House values ("Hufflepuff", "3");
INSERT into House values ("Slytherin", "4");

-- Include this to display the tables in the assignment description.
SELECT * FROM Name;
SELECT * FROM House;

Create an Assignment in a Playlist

Start by creating a playlist, and make a new activity. Choose SQL for the problem type.
Write a description describing what your students should query.
Load in Data in the SQL Setup Code tab by writing queries that generate a Database with your content.
Write the correct query in the Solution Code section of the Code tab.
Assign to your students! They'll be able to load the problem, start with the preloaded data, and write queries. The autograder will automatically check if their results match what your solution code produces.
