Sample Solution:
SQL Code:
-- Selecting the referee name and the count of booked matches for each referee
SELECT
c.referee_name, -- Selecting the referee name
COUNT(b.match_no) -- Counting the number of booked matches
FROM
player_booked a -- Specifying the player_booked table with alias 'a'
JOIN
match_mast b ON a.match_no = b.match_no -- Joining with match_mast table on match number
JOIN
referee_mast c ON b.referee_id = c.referee_id -- Joining with referee_mast table on referee ID
GROUP BY
referee_name -- Grouping the results by referee name
-- Sorting the results by the count of booked matches in descending order
ORDER BY
COUNT(b.match_no) DESC;
Sample Output:

Code Explanation:
The given query in SQL that retrieves data from player_booked table aliased as a, match_mast table aliased as b, and referee_mast table aliased as c and returns the number of bookings received by each referee.
The JOIN keyword joins the player_booked and match_mast tables based on the match_no column, the match_mast and the referee_mast tables based on the referee_id column.
The GROUP BY statement groups the results by referee_name.
The ORDER BY statement sorts the results in descending order by the number of bookings received by each referee.
Alternative Solutions:
Using Subquery in FROM Clause:
-- Selecting the referee name and the count of matches booked by each referee
SELECT
referee_name, -- Selecting the referee name
COUNT(match_no) -- Counting the number of booked matches
FROM
(
-- Subquery to retrieve the match number and referee name for each booked match
SELECT
a.match_no, -- Selecting the match number
c.referee_name -- Selecting the referee name
FROM
player_booked a -- Specifying the player_booked table with alias 'a'
JOIN
match_mast b ON a.match_no = b.match_no -- Joining with match_mast table on match number
JOIN
referee_mast c ON b.referee_id = c.referee_id -- Joining with referee_mast table on referee ID
) AS subquery -- Aliasing the subquery as 'subquery'
GROUP BY
referee_name -- Grouping the results by referee name
-- Sorting the results by the count of booked matches in descending order
ORDER BY
COUNT(match_no) DESC;
Explanation:
This query uses a subquery in the FROM clause to first join the necessary tables and select the relevant columns. Then, in the outer query, it performs the grouping and aggregation.
Using a Correlated Subquery:
-- Selecting the referee name and the count of matches officiated by each referee
SELECT
c.referee_name, -- Selecting the referee name
( -- Subquery to calculate the count of matches officiated by each referee
SELECT
COUNT(b.match_no) -- Counting the number of matches for each referee
FROM
match_mast b -- Selecting from the match_mast table with alias 'b'
WHERE
b.referee_id = c.referee_id -- Filtering matches based on the referee ID
) as match_count -- Alias for the count of matches as 'match_count'
FROM
referee_mast c -- Selecting from the referee_mast table with alias 'c'
-- Sorting the results by the count of matches in descending order
ORDER BY
match_count DESC;
Explanation:
This query uses a correlated subquery in the SELECT clause to count the matches for each referee. It correlates the subquery with the main query using the referee_id.
Using a CROSS JOIN and Subquery:
-- Selecting the referee name and the count of matches officiated by each referee
SELECT
c.referee_name, -- Selecting the referee name
COUNT(b.match_no) -- Counting the number of matches for each referee
FROM
referee_mast c -- Selecting from the referee_mast table with alias 'c'
CROSS JOIN
player_booked a -- Performing a cross join with the player_booked table with alias 'a'
JOIN
match_mast b ON a.match_no = b.match_no AND b.referee_id = c.referee_id -- Joining match_mast table with alias 'b' based on match number and referee ID
GROUP BY
c.referee_name -- Grouping the results by referee name
-- Sorting the results by the count of matches in descending order
ORDER BY
COUNT(b.match_no) DESC;
Explanation:
This query uses a CROSS JOIN to generate all possible combinations of referees and booked players. It then filters the results to match the respective IDs and groups by referee name.
