Sample Solution:
-- This SQL query calculates the count of distinct 'match_no' values in the 'match_details' table
-- where certain conditions are met: 'win_lose' is 'D' and 'goal_score' is 0.
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT match_no)
-- COUNT(DISTINCT match_no) counts the number of unique 'match_no' values in the result set.
FROM match_details
-- 'match_details' is the name of the table being queried.
WHERE win_lose='D'
-- The WHERE clause filters rows where the 'win_lose' column has the value 'D'.
AND goal_score=0;
-- Further filters rows where the 'goal_score' column has the value 0.
Sample Output:
count
-------
4
(1 row)
Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL that returns a single row with a single column containing the count of distinct match numbers where the result was a draw ("D") and the total goals scored in the match was 0. The DISTINCT keyword is used to ensure that each match number is only counted once, even if there were multiple draws with 0 goals scored in the same match.
