Exercise #54 (tips and solutions)

In order to employ UNION in the solution 3.10.2, it is not enough to perform unioning by only numGuns column. It is required of a list of columns that it should determine a ship unambiguously. Then duplicates rather then useful information will actually be excluded.

Below, a solution is presented which makes use of this expedient but contains a small mistake. And we leave it to the reader to find it.

Console
Execute
  1. SELECT CAST(AVG(numguns*1.0) AS NUMERIC (6,2))
  2. FROM (SELECT ship, type, numguns
  3.       FROM Outcomes RIGHT JOIN
  4.            Classes ON ship = class
  5.       UNION
  6.       SELECT name, type, numguns
  7.       FROM Ships s JOIN
  8.            Classes c ON c.class = s.class
  9.       ) AS al_sh
  10. WHERE type = 'bb';
