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 the world's leading websites.
This database contains a table called Data_at_14_Jan_2010, which contains the source data for the other tables:
We're going to remove all BETTING and ADULT sites, such as the one shown selected
Write a query which:
- Begins a transaction
- Within this transaction, deletes all rows from the above table where the Category column is Betting or Adult
- Stores how many rows are left in the table in an integer variable
- Rolls back the transaction
- Stores how many rows are in the table after this roll back (in a second integer variable)
- Displays the final figures
Your query should display output similar to this, when run:
The transaction (if not rolled back) would have deleted 9 sites
Optionally, save this code as Delete sites then roll back.sql, then close it down.
