We will use the below database definition to generate the queries:

CLIENT (clientno#,name, client_referred_by#)

ORDER (orderno#, clientno#, order_date, empid#)
ORDER_LINE (orderno#, order line number#, item_number#,
no_of_items, item_ cost, shipping_date)
ITEM (item_number#, item_type, cost)
EMPLOYEE (empid#, emp_type#, deptno, salary, firstname,
lastname)

1. Display all the rows and columns in the CLIENT table. Sort by
client name in reverse alphabetical order.
SELECT * FROM CLIENT ORDER BY NAME DESC;
2. Display the item number and total cost for each order line (total
cost = no of items X item cost). Name the calculated column
TOTAL COST.

NO_OF_ITEMS *B. ITEM_COST TOTAL COST, C. NAME
FROM ITEM A, ORDER LINE B, CLIENT C, ORDER D
WHERE A.ITEM_NUMBER =B.ITEM_NUMBER
AND B.ORDERNO = D.ORDERNO
AND C.CLIENTNO=D.CLIENTNO;
3. Display all the client numbers in the ORDER table. Remove
duplicates.
SELECT CLIENTNO FROM ORDER GROUP BY CLIENTNO ;

table. Output the result in the format. Client <clientno> ordered

5. Display full details from the ORDER_LINE table where the item
number is (first condition) between 1 and 200 (no > or <

order number is not equal to 1000.
SELECT * FROM ORDER_LINE
