This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
If you haven't already got it set up in SQL server, restore the Historical Events database from the above folder.
Create a query to list out the following columns from the tblEvent table:
- EventName
- EventDate
Your rows should appear in date order, with the most recent event coming first.
The last event in our database was on 14th November 2007
Make sure you've included comments in your query, and indented it sensibly
Save this query as Listing events in reverse date order, then close it down.
