9. In the table ORDERS above, specify in SQL the requirements that:
1. Received date cannot be undefined and that
2. the Shipped date, if it is not NULL, should be greater than the Received date.
10. Translate in SQL the following queries. Note: The "Received" column in ORDERS table above refers to when the order is received by the system (and not when the ordered items are received by the customer).
1. Get the part number of parts that cost between 10 and 25 dollars.
2. For each part sold in 1998, list the total quantity sold in 1998. Sort your results in ascending order by the total billed price for each part for that year. Parts are considered sold when an order is received. The BilledPrice column in the Invoice table indicates the total price billed for that part (i.e., quantity sold multiplied by unit price minus discount, if any).
3. Get those parts that were not sold in 1998. A part is considered sold when an order is received.
11. Given the following schema definitions, specify in SQL2 the referential integrity constraint on the EMPLOYEE relation that will prevent an employee from being assigned to a non-existent department.
12. create table EMPLOYEE
13. (id id_dom primary key deferrable,
14. name name_dom,
15. salary salary_dom,
16. dname dept_name_dom
17. );
18.
19. create table DEPARTMENT
20. (name dept_name_dom primary key deferrable,
21. mgrid id_dom foreign key references emp(id) deferrable,
22. budget budget_dom
23. );

WHERE B=’13’
3)USE Pubs
SELECT A,B FROM R INNER JOIN S
ON R.C=S.D
