by the way, your copy/paste was incomplete, here's the entire question 10 --

Find the maximum average room price (regardless of room type) of all the hotels (Hint: Find the average of each hotel first).

do you have a test database set up for this assignment?

because you should really test your queries, to see the results (or error message) that they produce

It means what it says. There is a column that is ambiguously defined, in other words you are using a column name in your query that exists in more than 1 table, and because you didn't specify from which column to take it (alias!) mysql doesn't know which column to use.

question 9 i tried

SELECT GUEST_NO, G_NAME, R_PRICE
FROM GUEST, ROOM
WHERE R_PRICE >230 <350;
(SELECT SUM(*) GUEST_NO FROM BOOKING);

and the message i got was

ORA-00936: missing expression
00936. 00000 - "missing expression"
*Cause:
*Action:
Error at Line: 10 Column: 13

See the line I indicated in red. You can't confront a column with two values like that. Do a reread of your reference manual and see how to write WHERE conditions.

question 10

i get this as the result but im not sure if its right or not

H200 231
H300 310
H100 253.333333333333333333333333333333333333

If you're not sure, how can we be? We don't even know the content of your test database.

Well don't procrastinate You know for whatever reason, when I was in school and I had a DB class, I wasn't all that into it. 5 years later I make my living off it. I really wish I knew back then how important it was and I had pushed the limits of that class. I love to learn everything I can now and find the best methods for everything, I hope you can get to that point soon as well and enjoy this stuff as much as I do, before its too late.
