2) In SQL I am trying to Create a view. I will give you my script first then the instructions.

Create a view that shows all computers that are in for repair. Include who the computer belongs to, their email address, how long it has been in for repairs, and the associated specs, brand, type, etc. This list will be used to update those users that are waiting on repairs. Try not to use subqueries.
