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 websites. This exercise uses the following two tables:

Each website belongs to a category
Create a stored procedure called spWebsitesByCategory which takes a single parameter - the name of a category - and displays all of the websites which belong to that category. For example:

You could execute your stored procedure to show all of the websites in the search engine category, for example
The above example would show the following output:

The start of the list of search engine websites
Optionally, save the query to generate your stored procedure as Websites for chosen category.sql, then close it down.
