The question I need answered is "What is the total cost of providing morphine to a patient named 'John Smith'?"
In my database schema I have the following schema:
Patient (patientNo, patName, patAddr, DOB) Ward (wardNo, wardName, wardType, noOfBeds) Contains (patientNo, wardNo, admissionDate) Drug (drugNo, drugName, costPerUnit) Prescribed (patientNo, drugNo, unitsPerDay, startDate, finishDate)
I created a sample schema for the above here: https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/wecC7cjtryKMErqPskNr41/1
How do I construct a query to multiply costPerUnit*unitsPerDay by the number of days between startDate and finishDate without having to manually calculate the number of days?
Currently I have:
SELECT SUM r.unitsPerDay*d.costPerUnit BETWEEN '2022-05-25' AND '2022-06-25' AS TotalCost, p.patName, d.drugName FROM Prescribed r, Drug d, Patient p WHERE p.patientNo=r.patientNo AND d.drugNo=r.drugNo AND r.drugNo=1001;
From:
insert into Drug (drugNo, drugName, costPerUnit) values (1001, 'Morphine', '25.00'); insert into Patient (patientNo, patName, patAddr, DOB) values (101, 'John Smith', '123 Street', DATE '1990-01-01'); insert into Prescribed (patientNo, drugNo, unitsPerDay, startDate, finishDate) values (101, 1001, 4, DATE '2022-05-25', DATE '2022-06-25');

Try this query:
SELECT SUM (r.unitsPerDay*d.costPerUnit*(finishDate-startDate)) AS TotalCost, p.patName, d.drugName FROM Prescribed r, Drug d, Patient p WHERE p.patientNo=r.patientNo AND d.drugNo=r.drugNo AND r.drugNo=1001;
