SQL Schema

Mary is a teacher in a middle school and she has a table seat storing students' names and their corresponding seat ids.

The column id is continuous increment.

Mary wants to change seats for the adjacent students.

Can you write a SQL query to output the result for Mary?

+---------+---------+
|    id   | student |
+---------+---------+
|    1    | Abbot   |
|    2    | Doris   |
|    3    | Emerson |
|    4    | Green   |
|    5    | Jeames  |
+---------+---------+

For the sample input, the output is:

+---------+---------+
|    id   | student |
+---------+---------+
|    1    | Doris   |
|    2    | Abbot   |
|    3    | Green   |
|    4    | Emerson |
|    5    | Jeames  |
+---------+---------+

Note:
If the number of students is odd, there is no need to change the last one's seat.

# Write your MySQL query statement below

select 
    case 
    when mod(id, 2) = 0 then id - 1 
    when id = mid then id
    else id + 1
    end         as id,
    student
from seat join (select max(id) as mid from seat) mseat
order by id
;
