Title | nvarchar(255) |
Artist | nvarchar(255) |
Release_date | date |

Use INSERT statements to store the results of the two queries in the table variable.
Write a query to select everything from the table variable, sorting the results in descending order of Release_date.
The most recent non-charting releases.
Write another query which groups the rows in the table variable by Artist and Release_type and calculates the aggregate values shown below:
