Description:

Thanks for the effort for this wonderful tutorial.
The last table that illustrates joining a table on itself shows that San
Fransisco has `temp_lo` lower than itself and `temp_hi` higher than itself,
without including the dates of the temperatures. I believe it would be
clearer (data-wise) if the table included the dates fields `W1.date as date`
and `W2.date as date`, making the whole example output look as follows

```
SELECT W1.city, W1.date as date, W1.temp_lo AS low, W1.temp_hi AS high
    W2.city, W2.date as date, W2.temp_lo AS low, W2.temp_hi AS high
    FROM weather W1, weather W2
    WHERE W1.temp_lo < W2.temp_lo
    AND W1.temp_hi > W2.temp_hi;

     city      | date | low | high |     city      | low | high
---------------+-----+-----+------+---------------+-----+------
 San Francisco |  1994-11-29  |  43  |  57 | San Francisco |  1994-11-27  |
46 |   50
