Question IV (SQL Execution Steps) Retrieve all customer-agent name pairs, (cname, aname), where the customer places an order through the agent.
((customer[cid, cname]∞order3)∞agent)[cname, aname]
(((customer×order3)×agent) WHERE customer.cid = order3.cid
AND order3.aid = agent.aid)[cname, aname]
SELECT DISTINCT c.cname, a.aname FROM customer c, order3 o, agent a
WHERE c.cid = o.cid AND o.aid = a.aid;
The SELECT statement results in the following conceptual steps:
Compute customer×order3×agent.
Select according to customer.cid=order3.cid and order3.aid=agent.aid.
Project on cname and aname.
Demonstration
Below is an SQL test area from W3Schools, which uses the well-known Northwind sample database.
The tables here are for read only because of the problem of embedding the scripts.
For a fully working example, check this by using Chrome.
Result:

This SQL-Statement is not supported in the WebSQL Database.
The example still works, because it uses a modified version of SQL.
Your browser does not support WebSQL.
Your are now using a light-version of the Try-SQL Editor, with a read-only Database.
If you switch to a browser with WebSQL support, you can try any SQL statement, and play with the Database as much as you like. The Database can also be restored at any time.
Our Try-SQL Editor uses WebSQL to demonstrate SQL.
A Database-object is created in your browser, for testing purposes.
You can try any SQL statement, and play with the Database as much as you like. The Database can be restored at any time, simply by clicking the "Restore Database" button.
W3C WebSQL
WebSQL stores a Database locally, on the user's computer. Each user gets their own Database object.
WebSQL Browser Support
WebSQL is supported in Chrome, Safari, and Opera.
If you use another browser you will still be able to use our Try SQL Editor, but a different version, using a server-based ASP application, with a read-only Access Database, where users are not allowed to make any changes to the data.

when you are teased or to jokes that are about you or against you...
“I am just kidding around,” said Sean,
“It is your problem if you cannot take a joke.”
