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. The tables we will use are:

The tables of interest for this exercise
Create a stored procedure which takes in as input the names of 2 countries:

Here's how we might test our stored procedure
Within this stored procedure, create a CTE giving for each website the usage proportion for that website for each of the two countries specified:

For Facebook, for example, 5.1% of users are French, but only 0.9% Greek
Create a SELECT statement based on this CTE to show the results with a total:

We now learn that taken together French and Greek users comprise 6% of Facebook users, for example
Optionally, save your work as Country proportions.sql, then close it down.
