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.
Write a query which lists out countries which have more than 8 events, using a correlated subquery rather than HAVING.
That is: list the names of countries from the countries table where for each country the number of events matching the country's id is more than 8.
If you list the countries in alphabetical order, you should get:
Although your query should be easy to read, one disadvantage is that you can't see how many events there were for each country.
Save this query as Eventful countries, then close it down.
