Sample Solution:
-- Selecting movie titles
-- Using the 'movie' table
-- Filtering rows where movie.mov_id is in the result of a subquery
-- The subquery selects mov_id from the 'rating' table
-- where rev_id is not in the result of another subquery
-- The inner subquery selects rev_id from the 'reviewer' table
-- where rev_name is equal to 'Paul Monks'
SELECT movie.mov_title
FROM movie
WHERE movie.mov_id IN (
SELECT mov_id
FROM rating
WHERE rev_id NOT IN (
SELECT rev_id
FROM reviewer
WHERE rev_name='Paul Monks'
)
);
Sample Output:

Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL that retrieves the titles of all movies that have been reviewed by reviewers other than "Paul Monks".
1. The inner most subquery selects the ID of the reviewer with the name "Paul Monks".
2. The another subquery selects all the movie IDs from the rating table where the reviewer ID is not in another subquery of step 1.
3. The condition specifies that must be met for a row to be included in the results. That is for movies where their IDs are included in the subquery in step 2.
Alternative Solution:
Using INNER JOIN:
SELECT m.mov_title
FROM movie m
INNER JOIN rating r ON m.mov_id = r.mov_id
WHERE r.rev_id NOT IN (
SELECT rev_id
FROM reviewer
WHERE rev_name = 'Paul Monks'
);
Explanation:
This query uses an INNER JOIN to combine the movie and rating tables based on mov_id. It then applies a WHERE clause to filter for reviews where the reviewer name is not 'Paul Monks'.
