GCSE – Lesson 2 – SQL searches

Curriculum KS4 Unit Lesson

SQL is introduced into this lesson. Learners use the music database from the last lesson to write their first SQL commands. The activities start with learners retrieving data using SELECT, FROM and WHERE statements. They complete increasingly challenging tasks for different search terms. They then move on to retrieving data from multiple tables.
