SQL | Archived exercise | Count how many people by status - vbls
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 can learn how to do this exercise on the relevant Wise Owl classroom training course (sadly for the moment only in the UK).

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 done so, run the stored procedure in the above folder to generate a database of training courses and delegates.
The tblPersonStatus table contains two rows as follows:
A person is either current or obsolete!
By linking the tblPerson table to this tblPersonStatus table, create a simple query to show the number of people who still work at their companies:
A suggestion for what the query could look like
By declaring and using two variables (called @NumberCurrent and @NumberObsolete, perhaps?) create a query to show how many people there are in the database for each of the two statuses (stati?) Current and Obsolete:
What the result of running your query should look like
Optionally, save this query as Count persons by status.sql, then close it down.
