The PADS
Generate the following two result sets:

Query an alphabetically ordered list of all names in OCCUPATIONS, immediately

followed by the first letter of each profession as a parenthetical (i.e.: enclosed
in parentheses). For example: AnActorName(A), ADoctorName(D), AProfessorName(P),
and ASingerName(S).
Query the number of ocurrences of each occupation in OCCUPATIONS. Sort the
occurrences in ascending order, and output them in the following format:

There are total [occupation_count] [occupation]s.

where [occupation_count] is the number of occurrences of an occupation in
OCCUPATIONS and [occupation] is the lowercase occupation name. If more than one
Occupation has the same [occupation_count], they should be ordered alphabetically.

Note: There will be at least two entries in the table for each type of occupation.

Input Format
The OCCUPATIONS table is described as follows:
Name,Occupation

Occupation will only contain one of the following values: Doctor, Professor, Singer
or Actor.

Solution:

SELECT CONCAT(Name, '(', SUBSTR(Occupation, 1, 1), ')')

FROM OCCUPATIONS
ORDER BY Name;

SELECT CONCAT('There are total ', COUNT(Occupation), ' ', LOWER(Occupation), 's.')
FROM OCCUPATIONS
GROUP BY Occupation
ORDER BY COUNT(Occupation), Occupation;
