• Provide one descriptive set operation example based on the Bowling League tables in your Oracle account, including the SQL syntax displaying the result set. Describe how you would solve a problem with your chosen operation.

You must respond to at least two (2) of your classmates. Ask questions to get the conversation moving. To further enhance the discussion, return to your original post throughout the week and respond to a few of the comments and questions raised by classmates and instructor.
