Project (project_id, project_title, dept_no, proj_location)

Employee_Project (employee_id, project_id, hours_worked)

Perform following tasks

    • INSERT: Insert five records in each table.
    • UPDATE: Modify data in single and multiple columns in a table
    • DELETE: Delete selective records as well as all records from a table.
  • Write queries to execute the following DML command:
    • SELECT: Retrieve the entire data of the table.
    • Retrieve the selective contents (based on provided conditions) from a table.
    • Retrieve contents from a table based on various operators i.e. string operators, logical operators and conditional operators, Boolean operators.
    • Sort the data in ascending and descending order in a table on the basis of one column or more than one column.
  • Create a table using the following integrity constraints: Primary Key, Unique Key, Not Null, Check, Default, Foreign Key
  • Write queries to execute the following Aggregate functions: Sum, Avg, Count, Minimum, and Maximum value of a numeric column of a  table using an aggregate function.
  • Retrieve data from a table using alias names.

Part 2 – SQL Practice Exercise

Assume that an insurance company has a database comprising of the following tables. The primary keys are underlined.

Person(person_id, pname, address, contact_no, location)

Vehicle(registration_no, vehicle_type, model_no, reg_year)

Driver(driver_id, person_id, registration_no)

Accident(report_no, accident_date, location, description)

Participated(driver_id, registration_no, report_no, location, claim_amount)

  • Create the above tables by properly specifying the primary key and the foreign key
  • Enter at least five tuples for each relation
  • Demonstrate how you can
    • Update the claim amount for the car with a specific Reg_no, the accident with report number 20 to 35000.
    • Add a new accident record to the database.
  • Find the total number of people who owned vehicles that were involved in an accident in 2021.

Practice these questions of SQL Practice Exercise

Create a database for an E-Commerce company comprising of the following tables.

Customer(cust_id, cname, contact_no, referral_id)

Order(order_id, cust_id, order_date, staff_id)

ItemsOrdered(order_id, orderline_no, item_id, no_of_items, item_cost, shipping_date)

Item(item_id, item_type, price)

SupportStaff(staff_id, staff_type, dept_no, salary, emp_name)

Notes:

  1. The column with underline is the primary key of the table.
  2. Each customer may be referred by another customer. In such a case, the referral_d is the cust_id of the customer who is referring.
  3. The total cost for a particular order line = no_of_items * item_cost.

Part 4 – SQL Practice Exercise

Write queries for the following

  • Create all the above tables.
  • Insert at least five records.
  • Display all the rows and columns in the Customer table. Sort by customer name in reverse alphabetical order.
  • Display the item number and total cost for each order line. Name the calculated column as Total_Cost.
  • Display all the customer ids in the Order table. Remove duplicates.
  • Display the order number and customer id from the Order table. Display the result in the format. Customer <cust_id> ordered <order_id>
  • Display full details from the ItemsOrdered table where the item_id is between 1 and 30 (no> or< operators) OR the item_id is greater than 500 AND (second condition) the item_cost is not in the list 4000, 6000, 8000 OR the order_id is not equal to 200.
  • Display the customer name and order date for all orders.
  • Repeat query (6) but also display all customers who have never ordered anything.
