Use an UPDATE statement on the tblCountry table to set the CountryName column to include the words (My Country) next to the country you call home:
Just saying....
Now change the code to add (Holiday destination) to the other countries within a transaction. After running the update statement:
When you run this query, nothing should change:
When excluding your country remember to use wild cards to account for the changed name!
Change the condition to test whether 1 + 1 = 3 (it doesn't), and rerun it. Check that the extra text has been added:
If you have nothing better to do, change Holiday to Visited for countries you've been to.
Finally, as a bit of housekeeping please reset the country names by running this query:
-- reset country names
UPDATE tblCountry
SET CountryName = REPLACE(CountryName,
' (Holiday Destination)','')
-- check this worked
SELECT * FROM tblCountry
If you could also manually reset the name of your home country back to its former glory, that would be good! Thanking you ...
Optionally save this as Stake your claims.sql, and then close it down.
