How can I design a SQL query for retrieving the books of a particular author in a database?
I am currently developing a database for a particular library management system. Thus I have a table whose name is “books” with columns “book_id”, “title”, “author” and “availability”. How can I write an SQL query for retrieving the titles of books that are available by ‘Jane Doe’?
In the context of web development, for retrieving the titles of books which are written by a particular writer(in your case John Doe), from the tables called ‘books’, then you can use the following SQL query:-
Your designed query should look like this:-
SELECT title
FROM books
WHERE author = ‘Jane Doe’ AND availability = 1;This above query would help you in selecting the “title” from the tables called ‘books’ where the ‘author’ is ‘Jane Doe’. If the ‘availability’ is 1 then it indicates that the book is available.
