Correcting SQL Query for Art Description Search

Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:
  1. List the details of any work of art (including the name of the artist who created the work) that has ‘Signed’ in their description. SELECT W.Title, W.Description, A.FirstName, A.LastName FROM tutorials.WORK W JOIN tutorials.ARTIST A ON W.ArtistID = A.ArtistID WHERE W.Description ='Signed'; is answer correct??
Answer:

The SQL query you provided is almost correct, but it will only return results where the Description is exactly equal to 'Signed'. If you want to find any works of art that contain the word 'Signed' in their description, you should use the LIKE operator instead. Here’s the corrected version of your query:

SELECT W.Title, W.Description, A.FirstName, A.LastName
FROM tutorials.WORK W
JOIN tutorials.ARTIST A ON W.ArtistID = A.ArtistID
WHERE W.Description LIKE '%Signed%';

In this query:

  • The LIKE operator is used with % wildcards to match any description that contains the word 'Signed' anywhere in the text.
  • The rest of the query structure remains the same, joining the WORK and ARTIST tables based on the ArtistID.

This will give you all works of art that have 'Signed' in their description, regardless of its position in the text.
