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 (if you haven't already done so) run the script shown above to generate the Doctor Who training database.
Create a stored procedure called spListEpisodes to list out all of the episodes for a given series number. For example to see the 14 episodes in series 2 you could run this query:
-- show all of the episodes for series 2
spListEpisodes 2
Now set a default value of Null for your parameter, such that it lists out all of the episodes if you don't specify a series number:
-- show all of the episodes
spListEpisodes
Your WHERE clause should test that either the series number equals the value of the parameter passed, or that the parameter passed is null.
Optionally, save this query as Seriously.sql, then close it down.
