Exercise #(-2) page 4

Solution 3.6.4.

Using HAVING clause.

Console
Execute
  1. SELECT country, QTY, MIN(launched)
  2. FROM (SELECT country, launched, COUNT(name) QTY
  3.  FROM Classes c JOIN 
  4.  Ships s ON c.class = s.class
  5.  GROUP BY country,launched
  6.  HAVING COUNT(name) = (SELECT MAX(qty) 
  7.  FROM (SELECT country,launched,COUNT(name) qty
  8.  FROM Classes c1 JOIN 
  9.  Ships s1 ON c1.class = s1.class
  10.  WHERE country = c.country
  11.  GROUP BY country,launched
  12.  )e
  13.  )
  14.  )T
  15. GROUP BY t.qty, t.country;

If the subquery of the FROM clause rows {country, launch year, quantity of ships} are determined first. Then HAVING clause filters only rows with quantity of ships that is equal to maximum quantity of ships for this country. Take note that subquery in this predicate is correlated.

  1. WHERE country = c.country

That is why MAX(qty) relates to certain country from the main query and is not a global maximum. At last, it determines minimal year for each combination {country, maximum quantity of ships}.
