Bobby tables, I guess they'll have
to be having words with his parents.

Any who,
getting back to the teacher questions,
0:04
there's two more things the management
team would like to know.
0:07
First, they'd like to know which
elective teacher is the most popular.
0:10
So if you can find out
which elective teacher,
0:14
teaches the most students,
that'd be awesome.
0:16
Let's start, by figuring out which
teachers are the elective teachers.
0:19
Luckily, we've already written this query.
0:23
So it's in the teacher's notes
if you'd like to just copy and
0:25
paste it in,
which is what I'm going to do.
0:27
However, let's paste it in as
a common table expression.
0:30
So, WITH,
0:32
ELECTIVE TEACHERS AS And
0:36
then I'm gonna tab this out.
0:45
And then just to make sure it worked,
let's scroll down here and
0:48
SELECT * FROM ELECTIVE_TEACHERS.
0:52
Perfect, from here,
0:57
we need to figure out which elective
teacher teaches the most students.
0:58
So another intermediate step we can take,
1:03
is to figure out how many students
each elective teacher teaches.
1:05
So let's do that as another
common table expression.
1:10
So, and
let's call it STUDENT_COUNTS and AS.
1:14
And then here, let's start by selecting
everything FROM ELECTIVE_TEACHERS,
1:23
and then to figure out, how many
students each elective teacher teaches,
1:28
we'll just need to join through to
the classes table on the teacher ID.
1:33
And then join from the classes
table to the schedule.
1:37
Once we're to the schedule,
each row will represent a student.
1:41
So we'll just need to count how many rows
there are for each elective teacher.
1:44
So let start by joining
to the classes table.
1:48
JOIN CLASSES ON, And remember,
1:50
we're selecting the TEACHERS.ID, Up here,
1:55
so we can join on ELECTIVE_TEACHERS.ID.
2:00
Yep, and it'll be named ID.
2:07
And this is going to = CLASSES.TEACHER_ID.
2:11
And then we need to join
to the schedule table.
2:17
So JOIN SCHEDULE ON CLASSES.ID
= SCHEDULE.CLASS_ID.
2:20
And now that we got one row for
each student,
2:25
we just need to group by the teachers.
2:30
So GROUP BY ELECTIVE_TEACHERS.ID.
2:34
And we need to select
the ELECTIVE_TEACHERS
2:38
.ID as well as the COUNT.
2:45
And let's put this FROM on a new line.
2:48
And if we select start
from STUDENT_COUNTS,
2:51
we should have the counts of how many
students go with each elective teacher.
2:54
So let's try that.
2:58
SELECT* FROM STUDENT_COUNTS.
3:00
All right, looks good.
3:04
But, the question was to figure out,
which one was teaching the most students?
3:07
So again, let's come down here,
and let's SELECT the MAX
3:12
of STUDENT_COUNTS.,
3:18
and we wanna select the max of this
column, which we have an alias.
3:22
So we're gonna need to do that.
3:26
So let's come up here, and call it CT.
3:28
And then down here,
we'll be able to select the max of CT.
3:32
And we wanna select which teacher this is,
as well.
3:35
So for that, we're going to need
to join to the teacher's table.
3:40
But first, we need to say FROM,
and this is STUDENT_COUNTS,
3:43
and let's put that from
on a new line actually.
3:48
And then from student counts,
3:50
JOIN to TEACHERS on
STUDENT_COUNTS.ID = TEACHERS.ID.
3:55
And so, in addition to selecting
the MAX of the STUDENT_COUNTS,
4:03
we also wanna select what teacher it is.
4:07
So let's select the MAX and then,
4:09
TEACHERS.FIRST_NAME, and
TEACHERS.LAST_NAME.
4:14
And if we run this, it looks like Janice
Ambrose is the elective teacher teaching
4:22
the most students.
