Student Enrollments

Complex Queries

This repository is a reworking of the Complex Queries workshop that can be completed as SQL-only; this repository will ask the same questions but can be completed using ActiveRecord or SQL.

RSpec, Shoulda-Matchers, and SimpleCov have been set up for you.

This repository has been tested with Ruby 3.2.2 and Rails 7.1.2.

Setup

1. bundle install
2. rails db:{drop,create}

Instructions

We are creating an application to track student enrollments in our school. To do this, we'll need to track Students, Courses, Teachers, and Enrollments. Do not change the name of the columns described here or your pre-existing test data will break (see spec_helper test data method).

Students have a name. Teachers have a name and room_number. Courses have a name and teacher_id. Enrollments have a student_id, course_id, and a grade (integer).

Courses have one Teacher. Students can be enrolled in many Courses. Courses have many Students. (The join table in this case can be called "enrollments".)

Data Setup

• Migrations have been set up for you. Review the migration files and the schema.
• Then, write model tests (there is a skeleton in the existing model specs) AND model files to set up associations between each model. Make sure your model tests are always at 100% coverage.

Exercises

Check out the test_data method in spec_helper to see the test data you will start with in each model test.

Note: These user stories are focused on writing AR queries. You could also try going into Rails dbconsole and writing SQL to verify you get the same response!

1. Student Courses

Model method returns the list of course names in which a student is enrolled in alphabetical order. Example: Peter (@student2) => ["Gym", "Yoga"]

2. Student Course Count

Model method returns the number of courses a student is enrolled in Example: Peter (@student2) => 2

3. Teacher's Students

Model method returns the unique list of students for a given teacher Example: Mr. Phillips (@teacher1) => ["Penelope", "Pamela", "Phoebe", "Patrick", "Peter", "Pepe", "Pajak"]

Bonus: Return the list of students in alphabetical order

4. Student's Teachers

Model method returns the unique list of teachers that a given student has Example: Peter (@student2) => ["Phillips", "Mauch"]

5. Class Average

Model method returns the average grade for a given course. Example: Social Studies (@course8) => 88.5

6. Students Below Average

Model method returns the list of student names that have a grade below the class average Example: Social Students (@course8) => ["Patricia", "Piper"]
