TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Step 1: For each row in Customer_Orders table, find the corresponding rows in Order_Items table.
Step 2: find product_id, customer_id of the results of step 1 whose order_status_code equals Cancelled or order_item_status_code equals Paid

SOLUTION: SELECT T2.product_id , T1.customer_id FROM Customer_Orders AS T1 JOIN Order_Items AS T2 ON T1.order_id = T2.order_id WHERE T1.order_status_code = "Cancelled" OR T2.order_item_status_code = "Paid"

PROBLEM: Step 1: find the maximum followers in user_profiles table whose name equals Tyler Swift.
Step 2: find the name of user_profiles table whose followers greater than the results of step 1

SOLUTION: SELECT name FROM user_profiles WHERE followers > ( SELECT Max ( followers ) FROM user_profiles WHERE name = "Tyler Swift" )

PROBLEM: Step 1: For each row in Orders table, find the corresponding rows in Shipments table.
Step 2: find Orders's order_id of the results of step 1 ordered ascending by shipment_date

SOLUTION:
SELECT T1.order_id FROM Orders AS T1 JOIN Shipments AS T2 ON T1.order_id = T2.order_id ORDER BY T2.shipment_date Asc
