Table: Cinema +----------------+----------+ | Column Name | Type | +----------------+----------+ | id | int | | movie | varchar | | description | varchar | | rating | float | +----------------+----------+ id is the primary key (column with unique values) for this table. Each row contains information about the name of a movie, its genre, and its rating. rating is a 2 decimal places float in the range [0, 10] Write a solution to report the movies with an odd-numbered ID and a description that is not "boring" . Return the result table ordered by rating in descending order . The result format is in the following example. Example 1: Input: Cinema table: +----+------------+-------------+--------+ | id | movie | description | rating | +----+------------+-------------+--------+ | 1 | War | great 3D | 8.9 | | 2 | Science | fiction | 8.5 | | 3 | irish | boring | 6.2 | | 4 | Ice song | Fantacy | 8.6 | | 5 | House card | Interesting | 9.1 | +----+------------+-------------+--------+ Output: +----+------------+-------------+--------+ | id | movie | description | rating | +----+------------+-------------+--------+ | 5 | House card | Interesting | 9.1 | | 1 | War | great 3D | 8.9 | +----+------------+-------------+--------+ Explanation: We have three movies with odd-numbered IDs: 1, 3, and 5. The movie with ID = 3 is boring so we do not include it in the answer.
