We are planning our 1st Quarter marketing budget and need you to provide some historical sales data from the SalesOrdersModify database. Provide summarized data regarding the orders we received during the 1st quarter of 2018 (Jan.-Mar.) broken out by customer city and state. Include customer city and state names along with the count of all orders, the average order total, smallest and largest order totals and the sum of all orders from that city and state. Arrange them by state and then city. Please make sure the average is formatted with two digits after the decimal place. (20 rows)
We are planning a postcard mailing to promote our performers who play Show Tunes or Standards. Using the EntertainmentAgencyModify database, list the full name and mailing address for all customers who did not book any performers in 2018 who play Show Tunes or Standards so that we can include them in the mailing. (Hint: create a subquery to list all customers who DID book performers who play those musical styles and then test for NULL to see which customers are not in that list) You must use the names of the musical styles, not the styleID numbers. (7 rows)
Our EntertainmentAgencyModify database is encountering performance issues because of its size. Archive all Engagements that both started and ended prior to March 1, 2018 into the Engagements_Archive table. After archiving the old Engagements, remove them from the original Engagements table to reduce the size of that table. Remember to use transactions for each of these two queries to protect your data. (45 rows)
(Note: Refer to the schema in Question 32 for relationships.)
We are looking for customer endorsements of the performer “Modern Dance”. Provide a list of names and phone numbers for any customers in the EntertainmentAgencyModify database who have ever booked this performer. Remember that some of these engagements may now be archived. Put the list of customers in alphabetical order by last name and first name. (Hint: use a SQL command that will allow you to combine the results of two similar queries, one for Engagements and one for Engagements_Archive, into a single result set.) (8 rows)
