Create a stored procedure to list Dr Who episodes written by Steven Moffat

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.

First (if you haven't already done so) run the script shown above to generate the Doctor Who training database.

Using the tblAuthor and tblEpisode tables, create a stored procedure called spMoffats to list out the 32 episodes written by Steven Moffat in date order (with the most recent first):

The two tables from which you need to get data

Here is what the start of the output from running this stored procedure should look like:

When you run the stored procedure, these are the first few rows that you should see.

Now amend your SQL so that it creates a different stored procedure called spRussell, listing out the 30 episodes penned by people called Russell:

The first few Russell Davies episodes (again shown with the most recently made coming first).

Wouldn't it be nice if you could introduce a parameter giving the name of the author for whom you want to list episodes, so you'd only need the one stored procedure ...

Optionally, save this revised query as Russell.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.
