Specify the following queries in SQL on the database schema of Figure 1.2.

(a) Retrieve the names of all senior students majoring in 'COSC' (computer science).

(b) Retrieve the names of all courses taught by professor King in 85 and 86.

(c) For each section taught by professor King, retrieve the course number, semester, year, and number of students who took the section.

(d) Retrieve the name and transcript of each senior student (Class=5) majoring in COSC. Transcript includes course name, course number, credit hours, semester, year, and grade for each course completed by the student.

(e) Retrieve the names and major departments of all straight A students (students who have a grade of A in all their courses).

(f) Retrieve the names and major departments of all students who do not have any grade of A in any of their courses.

(a) SELECT Name
FROM STUDENT
WHERE Major='COSC'

(b) SELECT CourseName
FROM COURSE, SECTION
WHERE COURSE.CourseNumber=SECTION.CourseNumber AND Instructor='King'
AND (Year='85' OR Year='86')
Another possible SQL query uses nesting as follows:
SELECT CourseName
FROM COURSE
WHERE CourseNumber IN ( SELECT CourseNumber
FROM SECTION
WHERE Instructor='King' AND (Year='85' OR Year='86') )

(c) SELECT CourseNumber, Semester, Year, COUNT(*)
FROM SECTION, GRADE_REPORT
WHERE Instructor='King' AND SECTION.SectionIdentifier=GRADE_REPORT.SectionIdentifier
GROUP BY CourseNumber, Semester, Year

(d) SELECT Name, CourseName, C.CourseNumber, CreditHours, Semester, Year, Grade
FROM STUDENT ST, COURSE C, SECTION S, GRADE_REPORT G
WHERE Class=5 AND Major='COSC' AND ST.StudentNumber=G.StudentNumber AND
G.SectionIdentifier=S.SectionIdentifier AND S.CourseNumber=C.CourseNumber

(e) SELECT Name, Major
FROM STUDENT
WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT *
FROM GRADE_REPORT
WHERE StudentNumber= STUDENT.StudentNumber AND NOT(Grade='A'))

(f) SELECT Name, Major
FROM STUDENT
WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT *
FROM GRADE_REPORT
WHERE StudentNumber= STUDENT.StudentNumber AND Grade='A' )
