Use two subqueries to list all events in neither the last 30 countries or the last 15 categories

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file . Once you've done this:

Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
Execute this script.

This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).

Create a subquery to list out all of those events whose:

Country id is not in the list of the last 30 country ids in alphabetical order; and
Category id is not in the list of the last 15 category ids in alphabetical order.

You'll need to use the words NOT IN, as well as TOP N ... DESC.

Your query should list these 8 events (shown here in chronological order):

These events occurred in countries and categories coming early in the alphabet.

Save this query as Early events, then close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.

I would add the precision "alphabetical Name order".
Otherwise some people - we won't give names - may go for ordering by IDs...
