Hey Karen,

That query is pretty much an inner join with a filter that selects a single value from the matching rows. 

It's picking the tutor's zipcode from the tutor table where any tutor is teaching a subject called "Angela Merkel". 

For this to happen, it needs to join the tutor subjects with the tutor details table using the tutor id as the common factor.

N I need to return tutor_id so it is terribly wrong !!! So, in addition to value not being supplied. 

Perhaps you should try www.stackoverflow.com for SQL guidance. They might be able to explain in detail what you are doing (wrong). 

Make sure to provide a complete example showing all the involved relations and references and any queries your wrote. This is really

important or they downvote/close questions. (your original email is not sufficient detail)

Regards,

Avin

select s_tutor.zipcode
from s_tutor, tutor_subject
where s_tutor.tutor_id = tutor_subject.tutor_id
and tutor_subject.subject_names ='Angela Merkel'

Hi Ron,

Could you explain why you select s_tutor.zipcode from tutor_subject since there is no zipcode inside tutor_subject?

Perhaps my reasoning is wrong and I really want to have your expert view.
