Question is : For every pair of students who both like each other, return the name and grade of both students. Include each pair only once, with the two names in alphabetical order.
My query is :
select H1.name,H1.grade,H2.name,H2.grade from
(select ID1,ID2 from Likes
where ID1 in (select ID2 from Likes) and
ID2 in (select ID1 from Likes)) as G JOIN Highschooler H1 JOIN Highschooler H2
where H1.ID=G.ID1 and H2.ID=G.ID2 order by H1.name,H2.name
My query's output is :
Cassandra 9 Gabriel 9
Gabriel 9 Cassandra 9
Jessica 11 Kyle 12
Kyle 12 Jessica 11
Expected output is:
Cassandra 9 Gabriel 9
Jessica 11 Kyle 12
I am not being able to remove one pair. How can I do that in SQlite?

The simplest thing to do is to expand your final where
clause to include:
where h1.name < h2.name
This will prevent the doubling of each pair in the output.
