How much do you understand about relational databases and SQL? In this case, there are two tables ... one lists companies and the other lists stores. There is a foreign key to company in store, so that establishes a one company contains many stores relationship. The query finds all the stores belonging to company 2 in state NY. It joins the two tables to do this, though strictly speaking, it doesn't need to.

Ive been practicing it, actually I do have a question to help clarify some information


Its been asked to n Select all the stores for a specific company and state. i am having a hard time breaking it down.

Why do they use upper(name). Is that just to select all the named stores?


also,

Why are they selecting company.companyid if they can use Company Name or Location of the company. like maybe company.Location where company = FL. Like I am just trying to break it down. ha ha Sorry but I really appreciate the help guys!

upper() is a function that returns the argument with all letters as uppercase. As the alias suggests, upper(name) will return the name formatted as uppercase letters where appropriate.
