In this task you are expected to provide an SQL statement from an english description of what that SQL statement does. The description may include multiple steps but you should only ouput one SQL statement that accomplishes every step. An SQL query works by selecting data from a table where certain conditions apply. A table contains columns where every row in that table must have a value for each column. Every table has a primary key that uniquely identifies each row, usually an id. To choose which columns are returned you specify that after the "SELECT" statement. Next, you use a "FROM" statement to specify what tables you want to select the data from. When you specify a table you can rename it with the "AS" statement. You can reference that table by whatever name follows the "AS" statement. If you want to select data from multiple tables you need to use the "JOIN" statement. This will join the tables together by pairing a row in one table with every row in the other table (Cartesian Product). To limit the number of rows returned you should use the "ON" statement. This will only return rows where the condition specified after the statement is true, this is usually an equals operator with primary keys. You can also use the "WHERE" statement to specify that only rows with column values statisfying a certain condition, should be returned. The "GROUP BY" statement will group rows together that have equal column values for whatever columns follows the statement. The "HAVING" statement will return groups that statisfy whatever condition follows the statement. Any column(s) being returned from grouped rows must either be an aggregate function, (AVG, MAX, COUNT, SUM, ...) of a column, or the column(s) that the data was grouped by. To sort the returned data you can use the "ORDER BY" command which will order the data by whatever aggregate function or column follows the statement. The "DESC" statement will sort in descending order and the "ASC" statement will sort in ascending order. Finally, you can use the "LIMIT" statement to return a certain number of rows. When "*" is used in an SQL statement every column is returned. For example, SELECT * FROM table WHERE attribute = 1, will select every column from rows with the attribute column equal to 1.

Input: Consider Input: find start_station_id of trip table whose duration greater than 60 and start_date equals 8/21/2015 17:03

Output: SELECT start_station_id FROM trip WHERE duration > 60 AND start_date = "8/21/2015 17:03"


Input: Consider Input: find the staff_name, staff_gender of Staff table for which staff_name equals 2016%

Output: SELECT staff_name , staff_gender FROM Staff WHERE staff_name = "2016%"


Input: Consider Input: Step 1: find the number of different EMPLOYEE_ID of each value of DEPARTMENT_ID in job_history table.
Step 2: find without repetition DEPARTMENT_ID in job_history table whose corresponding value in step 1 is greater than or equals 4


Output: SELECT DISTINCT DEPARTMENT_ID FROM job_history GROUP BY DEPARTMENT_ID HAVING Count ( DISTINCT EMPLOYEE_ID ) > = 4
