Understand with Example

The Tutorial illustrate an example from 'SQL Avg Function'. To understand and grasp the example we create a table 'stu' with required fieldnames and datatypes respectively.

Create table:

create table Stu(Id varchar(2), Name varchar(15), 
Class  varchar(10),sub_id varchar(2),marks varchar(3));

Insert records into:

The insert into is used to add the records or rows to the table 'Stu'.

insert into Stu values(1,'Komal',10,1,45);
insert into Stu values(2,'Ajay',10,1,56);
insert into Stu values(3,'Rakesh',10,1,67);

insert into Stu values(1,'Komal',10,2,47);
insert into Stu values(2,'Ajay',10,2,53);
insert into Stu values(3,'Rakesh',10,2,57);

insert into Stu values(1,'Komal',10,3,45);
insert into Stu values(2,'Ajay',10,3,56);
insert into Stu values(3,'Rakesh',10,3,67);

insert into Stu values(1,'Komal',10,4,65);
insert into Stu values(2,'Ajay',10,4,56);

insert into Stu values(1,'Komal',10,5,65);
insert into Stu values(3,'Rakesh',10,5,63);

Stu table:
