Script a view in a query, then use the view designer to edit it

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 .

If you haven't already done so, run the script in the above folder to generate the Doctor Who database.

Create a new query, and write script to create a new view. This should begin:

USE DoctorWho

-- script to create a new view

CREATE VIEW vwSeriesOne

-- create a view to show series 1 episodes

SELECT

Note that there are two vital words missing from the above excerpt of SQL, which you'll need to include!

Finish your script so that it creates a view to show all of the episodes in series 1, then execute the script to create your view:

-- show all of the rows returned from the view

SELECT * FROM vwSeriesOne

Select all of the rows in your view - this should show the 13 episodes which comprise series one:

The first few of the 13 episodes in series 1.

Right-click on your view in Object Explorer and choose to change it:

Choose to change the design of your view.

Amend the criteria to show all of the episodes in series 2, not 1, then save and close your view. When you script your view, you should now see that you've lost all of your formatting and comments!

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

Figuring out what came wrong since my first attempt, using the provided beginning of the script ended in "Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 3

'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch."

- your solution saved query contains ALTER instead of CREATE = once changed, it does create the view.
- we need to add AS after the view name, seems logical
- we finally need a GO after the Database name and at the end of the query.
