Question 4: The Smallest Unique Integer

Who successfully managed to guess the smallest unique integer value? Let's find out!

To keep it simple, we limited the allowed inputs to be a positive number (greater than zero). Unfortunately, we have not learned how to do aggregations in SQL, which can help us count the number of times a specific value was selected, just yet. As such, we can only hand-inspect our data to determine it. However, an anonymous elf has informed us that the smallest unique value is greater than 3!

Write a SQL query with the columns `time` and `smallest` to try to determine what the smallest integer value is. To make it easier for us to inspect these values, use `ORDER BY` to sort the numerical values and `LIMIT` your result to the first 20 values that are greater than the number 3.

The first 5 lines of your output should look like this:

```
sqlite> SELECT * FROM smallest_int LIMIT 5;
4/17/2019 10:19:17|4
4/19/2019 17:46:44|4
4/20/2019 20:29:22|5
4/16/2019 18:44:34|6
4/17/2019 9:44:12|6
```

CREATE TABLE smallest_int AS
-- REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR SQL QUERY;

To determine the smallest unique integer value greater than 3, we can use the following SQL query:

The prompt asks to write a SQL query that helps determine the smallest unique integer value based on the given data. The data is stored in a table called smallest_int which has two columns: time and smallest.

To begin with, we need to select the required columns from the table, which are time and smallest. So, we start with the SELECT statement, followed by the two column names separated by a comma. The query should look like:

SELECT time, smallest

Next, we need to specify the table we are querying, which is smallest_int. So, we add the FROM statement followed by the table name:

SELECT time, smallest
FROM smallest_int

The prompt asks us to limit the output to the first 20 values that are greater than the number 3. So, we add the WHERE statement to filter the results:

SELECT time, smallest
FROM smallest_int
WHERE smallest > 3

Finally, we need to sort the results in numerical order and limit the output to the first 20 rows. To do this, we add the ORDER BY statement followed by the column name smallest, and LIMIT statement followed by the number 20:

SELECT time, smallest
FROM smallest_int
WHERE smallest > 3

ORDER BY smallest
LIMIT 20;

This query selects the time and smallest integer columns from the `smallest_int` table, filters the results to only include values greater than 3, sorts the results by the smallest integer value, and limits the output to the first 20 results.

The `smallest_int` table must already exist in the database for this query to work. If it doesn't exist yet, we can create it using the following SQL statement:

```
CREATE TABLE smallest_int (
time TEXT,
smallest INTEGER
);
```

Note that the exact values in the output will depend on the data in the `smallest_int` table, but the first five lines should match the example given in the question.
