The concerned tables are as follows:
students(rollno, name, deptcode)
depts(deptcode, deptname)
course(crs_rollno, crs_name, marks)
The query is
Find the name and roll number of the students from each department who obtained
highest total marks in their own department.
Consider:
i) Courses of different department are different.
ii) All students of a particular department take same number and same courses.
Then only the query makes sense.
I wrote a successful query for displaying the maximum total marks by a student in each department.
select do.deptname, max(x.marks) from students so
inner join depts do
on do.deptcode=so.deptcode
inner join(
select s.name as name, d.deptname as deptname, sum(c.marks) as marks from students s
inner join crs_regd c
on s.rollno=c.crs_rollno
inner join depts d
on d.deptcode=s.deptcode
group by s.name,d.deptname) x
on x.name=so.name and x.deptname=do.deptname group by do.deptname;
But as mentioned I need to display the name as well. Accordingly if I include so.name in select list, I need to include it in group by clause and the output is as below:
Kendra Summers Computer Science 274
Stewart Robbins English 80
Cole Page Computer Science 250
Brian Steele English 83
expected output:
Kendra Summers Computer Science 274
Brian Steele English 83
Where is the problem?
I guess this can be easily achieved if you use window function -
select name, deptname, marks
from (select s.name as name, d.deptname as deptname, sum(c.marks) as marks,
row_number() over(partition by d.deptname order by sum(c.marks) desc) rn
from students s
inner join crs_regd c on s.rollno=c.crs_rollno
inner join depts d on d.deptcode=s.deptcode
group by s.name,d.deptname) x
where rn = 1;
To solve the problem with a readable query I had to define a couple of views:
total_marks: For each student the sum of their marks
create view total_marks as select s.deptcode, s.name, s.rollno, sum(c.marks) as total from course c, students s where s.rollno = c.crs_rollno group by s.rollno;
dept_max: For each department the highest total score by a single student of that department
create view dept_max as select deptcode, max(total) max_total from total_marks group by deptcode;
So I can get the desidered output with the query
select a.deptcode, a.rollno, a.name from total_marks a join dept_max b on a.deptcode = b.deptcode and a.total = b.max_total
If you don't want to use views you can replace their selects on the final query, which will result in this:
select a.deptcode, a.rollno, a.name
from
(select s.deptcode, s.name, s.rollno, sum(c.marks) as total from course c, students s where s.rollno = c.crs_rollno group by s.rollno) a
join (select deptcode, max(total) max_total from (select s.deptcode, s.name, s.rollno, sum(c.marks) as total from course c, students s where s.rollno = c.crs_rollno group by s.rollno) a_ group by deptcode) b
on a.deptcode = b.deptcode and a.total = b.max_total
Which I'm sure it is easily improvable in performance by someone more skilled then me...
If you (and anybody else) want to try it the way I did, here is the schema:
create table depts ( deptcode int primary key auto_increment, deptname varchar(20) );
create table students ( rollno int primary key auto_increment, name varchar(20) not null, deptcode int, foreign key (deptcode) references depts(deptcode) );
create table course ( crs_rollno int, crs_name varchar(20), marks int, foreign key (crs_rollno) references students(rollno) );
And here all the entries I inserted:
insert into depts (deptname) values ("Computer Science"),("Biology"),("Fine Arts");
insert into students (name,deptcode) values ("Turing",1),("Jobs",1),("Tanenbaum",1),("Darwin",2),("Mendel",2),("Bernard",2),("Picasso",3),("Monet",3),("Van Gogh",3);
insert into course (crs_rollno,crs_name,marks) values
(1,"Algorithms",25),(1,"Database",28),(1,"Programming",29),(1,"Calculus",30),
(2,"Algorithms",24),(2,"Database",22),(2,"Programming",28),(2,"Calculus",19),
(3,"Algorithms",21),(3,"Database",27),(3,"Programming",23),(3,"Calculus",26),
(4,"Zoology",22),(4,"Botanics",28),(4,"Chemistry",30),(4,"Anatomy",25),(4,"Pharmacology",27),
(5,"Zoology",29),(5,"Botanics",27),(5,"Chemistry",26),(5,"Anatomy",25),(5,"Pharmacology",24),
(6,"Zoology",18),(6,"Botanics",19),(6,"Chemistry",22),(6,"Anatomy",23),(6,"Pharmacology",24),
(7,"Sculpture",26),(7,"History",25),(7,"Painting",30),
(8,"Sculpture",29),(8,"History",24),(8,"Painting",30),
(9,"Sculpture",21),(9,"History",19),(9,"Painting",25) ;
Those inserts will load these data:

I take chance to point out that this database is badly designed. This becomes evident with course table. For these reasons:
The name is singular
This table does not represent courses, but rather exams or scores
crs_name should be a foreign key referencing the primary key of another table (that would actually represent the courses)
There is no constrains to limit the marks to a range and to avoid a student to take twice the same exam
I find more logical to associate courses to departments, instead of student to departments (this way also would make these queries easier)
I tell you this because I understood you are learning from a book, so unless the book at one point says "this database is poorly designed", do not take this exercise as example to design your own!
Anyway, if you manually resolve the query with my data you will come to this results:
+----------+--------+---------+
| deptcode | rollno | name |
+----------+--------+---------+
| 1 | 1 | Turing |
| 2 | 6 | Bernard |
| 3 | 8 | Monet |
+----------+--------+---------+
As further reference, here the contents of the views I needed to define:
select * from total_marks;
+----------+-----------+--------+-------+
| deptcode | name | rollno | total |
+----------+-----------+--------+-------+
| 1 | Turing | 1 | 112 |
| 1 | Jobs | 2 | 93 |

| 2 | Mendel | 5 | 131 |
| 2 | Bernard | 6 | 136 |
| 3 | Picasso | 7 | 81 |
| 3 | Monet | 8 | 83 |
| 3 | Van Gogh | 9 | 65 |
+----------+-----------+--------+-------+
select * from dept_max;
+----------+-----------+
| deptcode | max_total |
+----------+-----------+

Hope I helped!
Try the following query
select a.name, b.deptname,c.marks
from students a
, crs_regd b
, depts c
where a.rollno = b.crs_rollno
and a.deptcode = c.deptcode
and(c.deptname,b.marks) in (select do.deptname, max(x.marks)
from students so
inner join depts do
on do.deptcode=so.deptcode
inner join (select s.name as name
, d.deptname as deptname
, sum(c.marks) as marks
from students s
inner join crs_regd c
on s.rollno=c.crs_rollno
inner join depts d
on d.deptcode=s.deptcode
group by s.name,d.deptname) x
on x.name=so.name
and x.deptname=do.deptname
group by do.deptname
)
Inner/Sub query will fetch the course name and max marks and the outer query gets the corresponding name of the student.
try and let know if you got the desired result
Dense_Rank() function would be helpful in this scenario:
SELECT subquery.*
FROM (SELECT Student_Total_Marks.rollno,
Student_Total_Marks.name,
Student_Total_Marks.deptcode, depts.deptname,
rank() over (partition by deptcode order by total_marks desc) Student_Rank
FROM (SELECT Stud.rollno,
Stud.name,
Stud.deptcode,
sum(course.marks) total_marks
FROM students stud inner join course course on stud.rollno = course.crs_rollno
GROUP BY stud.rollno,Stud.name,Stud.deptcode) Student_Total_Marks,
dept dept
WHERE Student_Total_Marks.deptcode = dept.deptname
GROUP BY Student_Total_Marks.deptcode) subquery
WHERE suquery.student_rank = 1

The schema looks like this (sqlfiddle):
create table Country(
id INTEGER NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
name varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
create table Team(
id INTEGER NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
country_id int not null,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (country_id) REFERENCES Country(id)
);
create table Participant(
id INTEGER NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
team_id int not null,
name varchar(100),
points int,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (team_id) REFERENCES Team(id)
);
This is what I have tried:
select
Country.name,
Participant.name,
Participant.points,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(order by Country.name, Participant.points) as country_rank
from Country
join Team
on Country.id = Team.country_id
join Participant
on Team.id = Participant.team_id;
But according to the apache derby doco, the OVER() statement doesn't take any arguments.
Does anyone have a way to achieve the country rank?
SQL
SELECT c.name AS Country,
p.name AS Participant,
p.points AS Points,
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Participant p2
JOIN Team t2 ON p2.team_id = t2.id
WHERE t2.country_id = t.country_id
AND (p2.points < p.points
OR p2.points = p.points AND p2.name <= p.name)) AS country_rank
FROM Country c
JOIN Team t ON c.id = t.country_id
JOIN Participant p ON t.id = p.team_id
ORDER BY c.name, p.points, p.name;

Explanation
A simple ANSI-SQL subselect can be used to do the same job, counting the number of records for participants in the same country with a lower score or with the same score and a name that is alphabetically no higher.
Consider a non-windows function SQL query that uses a correlated aggregate count subquery. Because the group column (Country.name) is not in same table as the rank criteria (Participant.points), we need to run same joins in the subquery but rename table aliases to properly compare inner and outer queries.
Now of course, in a perfect world that would be it but we must now account for tied points. Therefore, another very similar subquery (for tie breaker) is used to be added to first subquery. This second nested query matches inner and outer query's Country.name and Participant.points but ranks by alphabetical order of Participant.name.
SELECT
Country.name AS Country,
Participant.name AS Participant,
Participant.points,
(SELECT Count(*) + 1
FROM Country subC
INNER JOIN Team subT
ON subC.id = subT.country_id
INNER JOIN Participant subP
ON subT.id = subP.team_id
WHERE subC.name = Country.name
AND subP.points < Participant.points)
+
(SELECT Count(*)
FROM Country subC
INNER JOIN Team subT
ON subC.id = subT.country_id
INNER JOIN Participant subP
ON subT.id = subP.team_id
WHERE subC.name = Country.name
AND subP.points = Participant.points
AND subP.name < Participant.name) As country_rank
FROM Country
INNER JOIN Team
ON Country.id = Team.country_id
INNER JOIN Participant
ON Team.id = Participant.team_id
ORDER BY Country.name, Participant.points;
all you need to add is a partition by country and that should give you what you need.
SELECT
Country.name,
Participant.name,
Participant.points,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY country order by Country.name, Participant.points) as country_rank
from Country
join Team
on Country.id = Team.country_id
join Participant
on Team.id = Participant.team_id;

You need a second join to the names table to get the supervisor's full name:
SELECT b.book AS Book, bn.fullname AS Analyst,
sn.fullname AS Supervisor
FROM books b left join
names bn
on b.analyst = bn.username left join
names sn
on b.supervisor = sn.username;
Below will provide the output you desire.
SELECT
b.book AS Book,
n.fullname AS Analyst,
(SELECT fullname FROM names where username=b.Supervisor) AS Supervisor
FROM
books b left join names n on b.analyst = n.username
