Research direction

Open the Advanced SQL course, the Writing Efficient Queries lesson, and section 2, “Read less data”; review the cited text and the less_data_query code cell together. Done means the explanation no longer contradicts the preceding sentence or query, and the intro accurately describes what both queries calculate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Course: Advanced SQL
Lesson: Writing Efficient Queries
Section: 2) Read less data

This section contains two issues in the text:

  1. Text Contradiction: The sentence "By using only the columns with the station IDs, we scan less data" contradicts both the preceding sentence (which states IDs are not needed) and the less_data_query code (but it uses both station names).
  2. Mismatched Intro: The intro sentence states "Both queries below calculate the average duration.", however, the code cell below it calculates the byte size instead of the time (duration).
