Optimizing Book Inventory: Calculating Remaining Copies with SQL Join and Filtering
Solution To solve this problem, we need to join the Books and Receipts tables on the BookID column and filter out the records where DateReturn is not null. We then group by the BookID and calculate the number of remaining copies by subtracting the number of borrowed copies from the total number of copies. Here is the SQL query: SELECT b.BookID, b.NumOfCopy, COUNT(r.BookID) AS numBorrowedCopies, b.NumOfCopy - COUNT(r.BookID) AS numRemainingCopies FROM Books b LEFT JOIN Receipts r ON b.
