What if the database contains other authors with the last name of "King"?

The authors table has an AUTOINCREMENT clause. It will generate an ID for you. You should not create it yourself, as this may conflict with auto-generated IDs.

Suggested change
(id, first_name, last_name, nationality, birth_year)
VALUES (25, 'Jawad', 'Al Bdiwi', 'Syrian', '1994');

VALUES (Jawad', 'Al Bdiwi', 'Syrian', '1994');

-- **Bonus A** — How many books are there per genre? Show the genre name and the count, ordered from most to fewest books.
-- Question 6:
-- Add one book for the author you just inserted.
-- It can be a real book or a made-up one.

-- **Bonus B** — Find any authors in the database who have no books at all. _(Hint: you will need a LEFT JOIN and check for NULL.)

  1. This SQL statement produces a syntax error because of a missing comma.
  2. The books table has an AUTOINCREMENT clause. It will generate an id for you. You should not create it yourself, as this may conflict with auto-generated IDs.
Suggested change
(id, title, published_year genre, author_id)
VALUES (101, 'SQL for Beginners', 2026, 'Non-fiction', 25);
(title, published_year, genre, author_id)
VALUES ('SQL for Beginners', 2026, 'Non-fiction', 25);


-- ALTERNATIVE SYNTAX
-- INSERT INTO books
-- SELECT
-- 101 AS id
-- , 'SQL for Beginners' AS title
-- , 2026 AS published_year

-- QUESTION 7:
-- The genre for "The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger" was entered incorrectly as 'Fantasy'.
-- It should be 'Horror'. Write an UPDATE to fix it,
-- then verify the change with a SELECT.

UPDATE books
SET genre = 'Horror'

-- Question 8:

There should be no * in the DELETE statement: it causes a SQL syntax error.

Suggested change
DELETE * FROM books
DELETE FROM books
