Writing Book IDs and Titles for SQL and DB Books Using Only Subqueries in Oracle SQL
Understanding the Problem and Background In this article, we will delve into a complex Oracle SQL query that aims to retrieve book IDs and titles for books categorized as both SQL and database books. The catch? We are only allowed to use subqueries. To approach this problem, we need to understand the relationships between the different tables involved and how subqueries can be used to filter data. We have three main tables: bk_order_details, bk_books, and bk_book_topics.
