1. ‘Repairs’ Questions
The ‘Repairs’ database is for a computer repair store. It has four tables:
Devices (type, rate, priority)
Technicians (Id, name, grade)
Experience (Id, type, qualification)
Repair (Job, Id, type, owner, date, time, ready, cost)
Look in the Devices table and view the different types of repairs (MM stands
for Multimedia device, DD means disk drive). Each type of device has a repair
rate per ¼ hour spent on it, and a priority level of either low (L), medium (M),
or high (H).
The Technicians table lists the employees and their skill level.
The Experience table shows each technicians ability to repair different
devices (Novice (N) or Experienced (E)).
The Repair table gives each repair a unique job number, as well as other
required data.

SELECT job, id, type
FROM repair
WHERE id=1470 OR id=1008
AND type=’iMac’ OR type=’MM’
SELECT job, id, type
