6. Practicing
Challenge: Unique combinationsChallenge: Average Q-series cars priceChallenge: The cheapest new A-series carsChallenge: Relation between engine size and fuel consumptionChallenge: Mileage and manufacture year - is there relation?Challenge: Average price for each model and yearChallenge: The most expensive transmission + engine size combinations

bookThe cheapest car

Remember the task from the third section, where you calculated the maximum price of a Diesel car? What if we want to see not only the price, but also what model, mileage, and other characteristics of this car?

One of the ways to solve it - is using nested queries, but this is not the topic for this course. Easier, you can order your table in descending order and limit the number of rows to 1! For example,


              
12345

            
SELECT *
FROM audi_cars
WHERE fueltype = 'Diesel'
ORDER BY price DESC
LIMIT 1
copy

This query will return all the Diesel cars, ordered by price in descending order with only 1 row! This is the car we were looking for.

Task

From the audi_cars table extract the information for the cheapest car with Semi-Auto transmission.
