Final answer:
The student's SQL queries were crafted based on the schema of the database db_pvfc12_big, using joins and conditions where appropriate to address specific questions about customer details, raw materials for a product, the least expensive products, and the number of orders placed by customers in New York state.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the student's database query questions, one would need to write and execute SQL queries using the provided information from the tables in database db_pvfc12_big. Following the instructions provided, here are the queries tailored for each specific question:
- What is the name and address of the customer that placed order 57?
- List the names of the raw materials that go into making the product with the description 'Cherry End Table'.
- List the product id, description, and finish of the least expensive products, excluding any that have a price of 0.
- How many orders did each customer from New York state (NY) place, listed from most to least orders?
While I am unable to execute these queries without access to the actual database, I have provided the SQL statements based on the information available.
