Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

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.

First run the script shown above to generate the Doctor Who training database.

Create a query which lists the David Tennant episodes for which none of the enemies appear in any non-David Tennant episodes:

Episode list

The first few of the 31 David Tennant episodes which don't share any enemies with any other non-Tennant episodes.

 

There are probably hundreds of ways to do this in SQL, and the answer given doesn't claim to use a particularly efficient one.

Optionally, save this query as Tennant only, then close it down.
