CREATE A simple Student System ERD (This is an individual task)
Case study – “A students(children)’ exam system “
This is a short description:
When creating a student we need to store information such as ID for unique
identification, the name, date of birth, gender, a username, password
Many exams is taken by many students. To clarify this, a student can have
many attempts for an exam and an exam can have many attempts by students.
The system should also store information about one parent of each student. A
parent can have many students and the system should store a username and
password for them so they can access the system and view their kids grades.
TO DO: design and implement a simple database for a students’ exam system which
will hold the grades for students’ attempts for particular exams

Table Parent with the attributes: ParentId,
FirstName, Surname, Username,
Password
INSERT INTO Parent
VALUES ('Nilsen', 'Johan', 'Bakken 2', 'Stavanger’)

SQL statements examples
SELECT DISTINCT Subject FROM Exam;
you can also use INNER JOIN if
SELECT * FROM Student you wish
WHERE Gender=‘Male’;
SELECT Student.FirstName
FROM Student, Parent
WHERE Parent.ParentID = Student. fkParentID
AND Parent.FirstName=‘Paul‘;

The challenge SQL
SELECT Student.FirstName, Student.Surname, Attempt.Score, Exam.Subject
FROM Exam INNER JOIN (Student INNER JOIN Attempt ON Student.StudentID =
Attempt.fkStudentID) ON Exam.ExamID = Attempt.fkExamID
Group by Exam.Subject, Student.Surname, Student.FirstName, Attempt.Score
;
Or
SELECT Student.FirstName, Student.Surname, Attempt.Score, Exam.Subject
FROM Exam, Student, Attempt
WHERE Student.StudentID = Attempt.fkStudentID and Exam.ExamID =
Attempt.fkExamID
Group by Exam.Subject, Student.Surname, Student.FirstName, Attempt.Score
