Solutions

Solution 1: Union All + Equi-Join + Group By

We can use UNION ALL to merge all player IDs who won Grand Slam titles into a table T, then use an equi-join JOIN to join T table with Players table on player_id, and finally use GROUP BY and COUNT to count the number of Grand Slam titles won by each player.

MySQL

# Write your MySQL query statement below
WITH
    T AS (
        SELECT Wimbledon AS player_id
        FROM Championships
        UNION ALL
        SELECT Fr_open AS player_id
        FROM Championships
        UNION ALL
        SELECT US_open AS player_id
        FROM Championships
        UNION ALL
        SELECT Au_open AS player_id
        FROM Championships
    )
SELECT player_id, player_name, COUNT(1) AS grand_slams_count
FROM
    T
    JOIN Players USING (player_id)
GROUP BY 1;

Solution 2

MySQL

# Write your MySQL query statement below
SELECT
    player_id,
    player_name,
    SUM(
        (
            CASE
                WHEN Wimbledon = player_id THEN 1
                ELSE 0
            END
        ) + (
            CASE
                WHEN Fr_open = player_id THEN 1
                ELSE 0
            END
        ) + (
            CASE
                WHEN US_open = player_id THEN 1
                ELSE 0
            END
        ) + (
            CASE
                WHEN Au_open = player_id THEN 1
                ELSE 0
            END
        )
    ) AS grand_slams_count
FROM
    Championships
    CROSS JOIN Players
GROUP BY player_id
HAVING grand_slams_count > 0;
