The data is available (mysql format) athttp://sqlzoo.net/euro2012.sql

1.

SELECT matchid, player
FROM goal
WHERE teamid = 
                (
                SELECT id 
                FROM eteam 
                WHERE teamname='Germany'
                );

FROM game
WHERE id = 1012;

3.

show the player, teamid, stadium and mdate for every German goal.

SELECT player, teamid, stadium, mdate
FROM game 
    JOIN goal ON (id=matchid)
WHERE teamid = 'GER';

4.

SELECT team1, team2, player
FROM game 
    INNER JOIN goal ON id = matchid
WHERE player LIKE 'Mario%';

5.

Showplayer,teamid,coach,gtimefor all goals scored in the first 10 minutesgtime <= 10

SELECT player, teamid, coach, gtime
FROM goal 
    LEFT JOIN eteam ON teamid = id
WHERE gtime <= 10;

6.

List the the dates of the matches and the name of the team in which 'Fernando Santos' was the team1 coach.

FROM game 
    LEFT JOIN eteam ON team1 =eteam. id
WHERE coach = 'Fernando Santos';

7.

SELECT player
FROM goal 
    LEFT JOIN game ON matchid = id
WHERE stadium = 'National Stadium, Warsaw';

8.

SELECT DISTINCT player
FROM goal 
    LEFT JOIN game ON matchid = id
WHERE (team1 = 'GER' OR team2 = 'GER') AND teamid != 'GER';

9.

Show teamname and the total number of goals scored.

SELECT teamname, COUNT(gtime)
FROM eteam 
    INNER JOIN goal ON id = teamid
GROUP BY teamname

10.

Show the stadium and the number of goals scored in each stadium.

SELECT stadium, COUNT(gtime)
FROM game 
    INNER JOIN goal ON id = matchid
GROUP BY stadium

11.

For every match involving 'POL', show the matchid, date and the number of goals scored.

SELECT matchid, mdate, COUNT(*)
FROM goal 
    INNER JOIN game ON matchid=id
WHERE team1 = 'POL' OR team2 = 'POL'
GROUP BY matchid, mdate;

12.

For every match where 'GER' scored, show matchid, match date and the number of goals scored by 'GER'

SELECT matchid, mdate, COUNT(gtime)
FROM goal 
    LEFT JOIN game ON matchid = id
WHERE teamid = 'GER'
GROUP BY matchid, mdate;

13.

List every match with the goals scored by each team as shown. This will use "CASE WHEN" which has not been explained in any previous exercises.

Notice in the query given every goal is listed. If it was a team1 goal then a 1 appears in score1, otherwise there is a 0. You could SUM this column to get a count of the goals scored by team1.Sort your result by mdate, matchid, team1 and team2.

Solution 1: use subquries (less favorable, less efficient)

To get each score, go to goal table, filter useful rows and count the number.

SELECT 
    mdate,
    team1,
    (SELECT COUNT(gtime) FROM goal WHERE matchid = id AND teamid = team1 ) AS score1,
    team2,
    (SELECT COUNT(gtime) FROM goal WHERE matchid = id AND teamid = team2 ) AS score2
FROM game ;

Solution 2: use CASE operator (more favorable, more efficient)

SELECT
    mdate,
    team1,
    SUM( CASE WHEN teamid = team1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ) AS score1,
    team2,
    SUM( CASE WHEN teamid = team2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ) AS score2
FROM game LEFT JOIN goal
    ON id = matchid
GROUP BY mdate, team1, team2
ORDER BY mdate, team1, team2
;
