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.

The aim of this exercise is to use a derived table to hold data before joining this another table. Start by selecting only events which end with a letter between N and Z.

Storing information in a derived table

Your query should return 300 results (including the CountryID column will allow us to join to the tblCountry table).

Now turn this select into a derived table called Second_Half_Derived. The layout will be something like this:

--Outer select

SELECT

EventName

FROM

(

--Your select goes here

) AS Second_half_Derived

Now join tblCountry to the derived table as you would for a normal table:

Derived table joined on

This should return 230 results - scroll down for some happier events.

Optionally save this as Deriving results.sql and close it down.
