Info

If you will run queries described below, you have to use full table name, datasets.ontime.

Queries

Q0.

select avg(c1) from (select Year, Month, count(*) as c1 from ontime group by Year, Month);

Q1. The number of flights per day from the year 2000 to 2008

SELECT DayOfWeek, count(*) AS c FROM ontime WHERE Year >= 2000 AND Year <= 2008 GROUP BY DayOfWeek ORDER BY c DESC;

Q2. The number of flights delayed by more than 10 minutes, grouped by the day of the week, for 2000-2008

SELECT DayOfWeek, count(*) AS c FROM ontime WHERE DepDelay>10 AND Year >= 2000 AND Year <= 2008 GROUP BY DayOfWeek ORDER BY c DESC

Q3. The number of delays by airport for 2000-2008

SELECT Origin, count(*) AS c FROM ontime WHERE DepDelay>10 AND Year >= 2000 AND Year <= 2008 GROUP BY Origin ORDER BY c DESC LIMIT 10

Q4. The number of delays by carrier for 2007

SELECT Carrier, count(*) FROM ontime WHERE DepDelay>10 AND Year = 2007 GROUP BY Carrier ORDER BY count(*) DESC

Q5. The percentage of delays by carrier for 2007

SELECT Carrier, c, c2, c*1000/c2 as c3
FROM
(
    SELECT
        Carrier,
        count(*) AS c
    FROM ontime
    WHERE DepDelay>10
        AND Year=2007
    GROUP BY Carrier
)
ANY INNER JOIN
(
    SELECT
        Carrier,
        count(*) AS c2
    FROM ontime
    WHERE Year=2007
    GROUP BY Carrier
) USING Carrier
ORDER BY c3 DESC;

Better version of the same query:

SELECT Carrier, avg(DepDelay > 10) * 1000 AS c3 FROM ontime WHERE Year = 2007 GROUP BY Carrier ORDER BY Carrier

Q6. The previous request for a broader range of years, 2000-2008

SELECT Carrier, c, c2, c*1000/c2 as c3
FROM
(
    SELECT
        Carrier,
        count(*) AS c
    FROM ontime
    WHERE DepDelay>10
        AND Year >= 2000 AND Year <= 2008
    GROUP BY Carrier
)
ANY INNER JOIN
(
    SELECT
        Carrier,
        count(*) AS c2
    FROM ontime
    WHERE Year >= 2000 AND Year <= 2008
    GROUP BY Carrier
) USING Carrier
ORDER BY c3 DESC;

Better version of the same query:

SELECT Carrier, avg(DepDelay > 10) * 1000 AS c3 FROM ontime WHERE Year >= 2000 AND Year <= 2008 GROUP BY Carrier ORDER BY Carrier

Q7. Percentage of flights delayed for more than 10 minutes, by year

SELECT Year, c1/c2
FROM
(
    select
        Year,
        count(*)*1000 as c1
    from ontime
    WHERE DepDelay>10
    GROUP BY Year
)
ANY INNER JOIN
(
    select
        Year,
        count(*) as c2
    from ontime
    GROUP BY Year
) USING (Year)
ORDER BY Year

Better version of the same query:

SELECT Year, avg(DepDelay > 10) FROM ontime GROUP BY Year ORDER BY Year

Q8. The most popular destinations by the number of directly connected cities for various year ranges

SELECT DestCityName, uniqExact(OriginCityName) AS u FROM ontime WHERE Year >= 2000 and Year <= 2010 GROUP BY DestCityName ORDER BY u DESC LIMIT 10;

Q9.

select Year, count(*) as c1 from ontime group by Year;

Q10.

select
   min(Year), max(Year), Carrier, count(*) as cnt,
   sum(ArrDelayMinutes>30) as flights_delayed,
   round(sum(ArrDelayMinutes>30)/count(*),2) as rate
FROM ontime
WHERE
   DayOfWeek not in (6,7) and OriginState not in ('AK', 'HI', 'PR', 'VI')
   and DestState not in ('AK', 'HI', 'PR', 'VI')
   and FlightDate < '2010-01-01'
GROUP by Carrier
HAVING cnt > 100000 and max(Year) > 1990
ORDER by rate DESC
LIMIT 1000;

Bonus:

SELECT avg(cnt) FROM (SELECT Year,Month,count(*) AS cnt FROM ontime WHERE DepDel15=1 GROUP BY Year,Month)

select avg(c1) from (select Year,Month,count(*) as c1 from ontime group by Year,Month)

SELECT DestCityName, uniqExact(OriginCityName) AS u FROM ontime GROUP BY DestCityName ORDER BY u DESC LIMIT 10;

SELECT OriginCityName, DestCityName, count() AS c FROM ontime GROUP BY OriginCityName, DestCityName ORDER BY c DESC LIMIT 10;

SELECT OriginCityName, count() AS c FROM ontime GROUP BY OriginCityName ORDER BY c DESC LIMIT 10;
