There is a table courses with columns: student and class
Please list out all classes which have more than or equal to 5 students.

The students should not be counted duplicate in each course.
select class
from courses
group by class
having count(distinct student) >= 59. Delete Duplicate Emails
Write a SQL query to delete all duplicate email entries in a table named Person, keeping only unique emails based on its smallest Id.
+----+------------------+ | Id | Email | +----+------------------+ | 1 | [email protected] | | 2 | [email protected] | | 3 | [email protected] | +----+------------------+ Id is the primary key column for this table.
For example, after running your query, the above Person table should have the following rows:

Write a SQL query to get the second highest salary from the Employee table.
+----+--------+ | Id | Salary | +----+--------+ | 1 | 100 | | 2 | 200 | | 3 | 300 | +----+--------+
For example, given the above Employee table, the query should return 200 as the second highest salary. If there is no second highest salary, then the query should return null.
+---------------------+ | SecondHighestSalary | +---------------------+ | 200 | +---------------------+
Answer:
select max(Salary) as SecondHighestSalary
from Employee
where Salary != (select max(Salary) from Employee)11. Rank Scores
Write a SQL query to rank scores. If there is a tie between two scores, both should have the same ranking. Note that after a tie, the next ranking number should be the next consecutive integer value. In other words, there should be no "holes" between ranks.
+----+-------+ | Id | Score | +----+-------+ | 1 | 3.50 | | 2 | 3.65 | | 3 | 4.00 | | 4 | 3.85 | | 5 | 4.00 | | 6 | 3.65 | +----+-------+

from Scores as s1 inner join Scores as s2
on s1.Score <= s2.Score
group by s1.Id
order by s1.Score desc12. Concecutive Numbers

For example, given the above Logs table, 1 is the only number that appears consecutively for at least three times.
+-----------------+ | ConsecutiveNums | +-----------------+ | 1 | +-----------------+
Answer:
select distinct a.Num ConsecutiveNums
from logs a, logs b, logs c
where a.Id = b.Id - 1 and b.Id = C.Id - 1 and a.Num = b.Num and b.Num = c.num13. Department Highest Salary
