- Please complete this assignment individually.
- You will submit just 1 file: query.sql.
- Use PostgreSQL 13 for your homework. See this link for instructions on how to download and install it on your OS. The .sql files are run automatically using the psql command using the i option, so please ensure that there are no syntax errors in the file. If we are unable to run your file, you get an automatic reduction to 0 marks.
To understand how to run many queries at once from text file, a dummy query file example.sql is available. To run example.sql in PostgreSQL, type the following command in the terminal: sudo -u postgres psql dbname
i /address/to/example.sql
This command will run all the queries listed in example.sql at once.
- The format of the file should be as follows. You can have a preamble where you may create views if you like (please note that no procedures are allowed (this has to be pure SQL), and correspondingly have a cleanup section where these views are removed. One line should identify the query number (note the two hyphens before and after the query number), followed by the actual, syntactically correct SQL query. Leave a blank line after each query.

- Some of the queries below require an ’ORDER BY’ clause. If you made an error in this clause, your answer may be evaluated as incorrect, giving you zero marks for that query.
- The submission will be done on Moodle. No changes are allowed in attribute names or table names.
- If unspecified, order in ascending order by column 1, then column 2 .. etc. In case of any doubts please ask on Piazza. The instructors ordering will be final and no queries will be entertained on the same.
- There are no NULL values in the dataset, so you need not worry about that.
- There is no data provided for these queries. For testing, make your own dataset. The .sql file that you submit however, should contain only queries
- If any query asks you to output top x rows and you are getting y rows, output min(x,y)
- You are allowed to submit the assignment one day late with a penalty of 25% of assignment marks.
1 Dataset 1
- In this first part of the assignment, you’ll work with a real world Flights and Airports dataset. The schema of the same is described below, but we won’t share the actual dataset that will be used for evaluation.
- The database will include following two tables and you should use only these tables while writing solution of the queries. You can create temporary views while handling any SQL query but you should include SQL queries for creating and deleting these temporary views at the starting and end of your SQL file respectively. Note – you don’t have to define these tables in the submission file, these will already be present while evaluation.
- airports
airportid : integer | city : text | state : text | name : text |
- flights
flightid : integer | originairportid : integer | destairportid : integer | carrier : text |
dayofmonth : integer | dayofweek : integer | departuredelay : integer | arrivaldelay : integer |
- Keys:
- airportid is primary key for airports table
- flightid is primary key for flights table
- Flight f is a direct flight between airports A and B if there exists a flight f in flights table such that
f.originairportid = A, f.destairportid = B
- Airports a and b are said to be connected via a series of connecting flights if there exist a sequence of flights f0, f1, … , fn: each a direct flight between (a, a1), (a1, a2), (a2, a3), …, (an, b) respectively.
- Note that in the airports table, a city can potentially have multiple airports. If we want you to consider a particular airport for a city, we will mention the airportid.
- In flights table, the dayofmonth represents the calendar date of the month and lies in the range [1,31] In flights table, the dayofweek represents the enumerated index of the days of week (Sunday, Monday … Saturday) and lies in the range [1,7]
- In flights table, the arrivaldelay and departuredelay represents the numeric value of the delay (in minutes) where a negative value of delay signifies the flight was early. For eg: departuredelay = -10 will signify the flight departed 10 minutes early.

Air Transport Network is an example of transport networks and spatial networks. The nodes of the network are the airports and the links represent direct flight routes between two airports. Alternatively, cities can be considered as the nodes with links representing direct flight connection between them. Air transport networks can be defined worldwide as well as for one region or for one airline company; the scale of the network can be global or domestic
Consider the collaboration network G formed by the airports and flights tables. The nodes for this graph will be the airports, and there will exist a directed edge from airport A to B iff there is a flight from A to B. There is an edge from airport A to B are if there exists a direct flight between A and B.
Mathematically, G = (V,E) where:

Scientific collaboration network is a social network where nodes are scientists and links are co-authorships as the latter is one of the most well documented forms of scientific collaboration.It is an undirected, scalefree network where the degree distribution follows a power law with an exponential cutoff – most authors are sparsely connected while a few authors are intensively connected
Consider the collaboration network G formed by the authorpaperlist and authordetails and paperdetails tables. The nodes for this graph will be the authors, and there will exist an edge between them iff they have co-authored a paper. Two authors are connected by an edge if there exist a paper p auch that (author1, p),
(author2, p) is present in citationlist table. In the queries that follow, “components” refer to the usual components in a graph.
Mathematically, G = (V,E) where:
- V = {authorid}
- E = {(u,v,p) : (u,p) ∈ authorpaperlist and (v,p) ∈ authorpaperlist;p ∈ paperid;u,v ∈ authordetails.authorid}

If there is no path from author A to some author, output -1. Give the author id, length of shortest path from author A. Sort in descending order of length of shortest path and resolve all ties by ascending order of destination authorid.
Output columns: authorid, length. Take A = 1235
- Find the number of paths in Graph G from author A to B such that all authors on the path have an age more than 35 and consecutive authors on the path have different genders. Return -1 if they don’t belong to the same component, else return number of paths.

- Find the number of paths from A to B in G such that at least one person on the path has directly or indirectly cited a paper with paperid p. Return -1 if they don’t belong to the same component, else return number of paths. Output column: count. Take A = 704, B = 102, p=126
- Find the number of paths in graph G from author A to B such that the total number of citations of authors on the path is in strictly increasing order or strictly decreasing order. The total number of citations of an author is defined as the sum of citations of papers that the author is associated with. Return -1 if they don’t belong to the same component, else return number of paths.
Output column: count. Take A = 1745, B = 456

Give the author ids of top 10 people with most number of future collaborations. Sort in descending order of number of future collaborations and resolve all ties by ascending order of author ids. Output column: authorid

Give the author ids of top 10 authors with the most number of citations of papers written by their third degree connections. Sort in descending order of number of citations and resolve all ties by ascending order of user ids. Output column: authorid
- Find the number of paths in Graph G from author A and B that also pass through at least one of the authors C1, C2, C3. Note that A → a1 → C → a2 → B and A → a1 → C → a3 → B constitute two distinct paths in graph G, that is, in path from A to B (via C), if even a single node is different (may be in A→C part or in C→B part), then it counts as a different path. All the vertices in the path A → C should be distinct, that is, a path like A → ···a1 → ···B → ···a1 → ···C is not valid. Return -1 if they don’t belong to the same component.
Output column: count. Take A = 3552, B = 321, C1 = 1436, C2 = 562, C3=921
- Find the number of paths in Graph G from author A to B such that no two authors on the path are from the same city and no two persons have directly cited each other’s papers. Return -1 if they don’t belong to the same component, else return number of paths.
Output column: count. Take A = 3552, B = 321
- Find the number of paths in Graph G from author A to B such that any author on the path hasn’t directly or indirectly cited any other author on that path. Return -1 if they don’t belong to the same component, else return number of paths. Output column: count. Take A = 3552, B = 321
- We say “authors A and B are conference(X)-connected” if there exists a path from author A to B in G where all the edges on the path correspond to papers published in conference X. A conference connected component is a subgraph(H) of G where every pair of vertices in H are conference-connected. For every conference X, find total number of conference(X) connected components in G. Sort in descending order of conference connected components and resolve all ties by ascending order of conferencename.
Output columns: conferencename, count
- For each conference, give the conferencename, number of authors in each conference connected component of G. If a conference has three connected components then the output should have three rows with the conference name and the number of authors in each component. Sort in ascending order of number of authors and resolve all ties by ascending order of conferencename.
Output columns: conferencename, count
