CREATE TABLE Students (
StudentID INT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(100),
Grade CHAR(1)
);
INSERT INTO Students (StudentID, Name, Grade)
VALUES
(1, 'Alice' , 'A'),
(2, 'Bob' , 'B'),
(3, 'Charlie' , 'C'),
(4, 'David' , 'D'),
(5, 'Eva' , 'B'),
(6, 'Frank' , 'A');
1: Simple CASE Statement for Categorizing Grades
Q1. Write a query to classify students based on their grades. Return the student's name
and a performance label (Excellent, Good, Average, Needs Improvement) based on the
grade.
2: Searched CASE Statement for Grade Ranges
Q2. Assume grades have numeric equivalents (A=90, B=80, C=70, D=60). Write a query
that categorizes students into performance bands: High (90 and above), Medium (80-
89), Low (70-79), and Very Low (below 70).
3: Using CASE in a WHERE Clause
Q3. Write a query to select students who either have an A grade or a B grade. However, if
a student has a C grade, include them only if their name starts with 'C'.
4: CASE with Aggregate Functions
Q4. Write a query that calculates the count of students in each performance category
(Excellent, Good, Average, Needs Improvement).
5: Nested CASE Statements
Q5. Write a query that further categorizes students based on their performance:
Excellent if they have an 'A' grade, and Good if they have a 'B' grade. For all other grades,
categorize them based on whether their name starts with a vowel or a consonant.
6: Handling NULL Values with CASE
Q6. Modify the Students table by adding some NULL values in the Grade column. Write
a query to return 'No Grade Assigned' if the grade is NULL.
7: Using CASE in ORDER BY Clause
Q7. Write a query to sort students based on their performance category (Excellent first,
then Good, Average, and Needs Improvement last).
8: Complex CASE Statement with Multiple Conditions
Q8. Write a query to categorize students into three groups: Top Performers (grades 'A'
and 'B' with names starting with 'A' or 'B'), Mid Performers (grade 'C' or 'D'), and Others.
9: Using CASE with Date Functions
Q9. Suppose you add a column EnrollmentDate to the Students table. Write a query
that assigns 'New Student' to those enrolled in 2024, 'Experienced Student' to those
enrolled before 2024, and 'Future Enrollment' to those enrolled in 2025 or later.
10: Combining CASE with String Functions
Q10. Write a query that appends ' (A)' to names with an 'A' grade, ' (B)' to names with a
'B' grade, and so on. If the grade is NULL, append ' (No Grade)'.
