Re: Need help with a college SQL exam question...

Hi,

Nice question.... I made a nice query that'll get you the result. I will not give
you the code because: 1. it's your exam, 2. I think It has some "rough edges" and
I don't want you to get the blame of my "edges" :-)

I'll give you a narrative version:

1. I'm counting the number of distinct makes...
2. I'm counting the number of distinct makes every customer has ever used (join,
join, join!) and compare that number to the result of #1

This of course happens in subqueries. I do not use HAVINGs though...
And on the design of the exam-database; lousy.

Succes,
A. Prins.
