Create a table of genres for books using CREATE TABLE, then insert a few rows using INSERT INTO

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.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file.

If you haven't already done so, run the stored procedure in the above folder to generate a database of books and authors.

Create a query or stored procedure to create the following table of book genres called tblGenre (the rating is a number between 1 and 10 you can assign to each genre):

SQL exercise - Creating tables (image 1)

The table should have 3 columns - you get bonus points for indexing the GenreName column

Now add code to insert records into this table then display them - here's a suggestion for what to add:

SQL exercise - Creating tables (image 2)

If you don't like science fiction, your ratings will be different

Run your query to check it works - you should see something like this:

SQL exercise - Creating tables (image 3)

Here we've also used @@IDENTITY to show the id number of the last row added

Now run your query again - it should now fall over, because the tblGenre table already exists.

Add a statement at the start of your query to drop the tblGenre table if it exists, and run the query again - it should now work.

Optionally, save your query as Generate genres.sql, then close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
