| Schedule by week | Information to cover |
|---|---|
| Note that the audio and Smartboard presentations for each class are posted within a couple of days. Please check the weekly schedule multiple times a week, I sometimes add things during the course of the week. You need to pass in the code you write and the output that is produced unless you are told otherwise. Sometimes this involves showing data that was written to a file/table. Play computer means to figure out the results yourself by evaluating the data rather than running the query. Please keep copies of all work you submit until you receive your final grade at the end of the semester. Comment on how I want the assignment: You should take the commands you do in SQL and the results and paste them into a word document. It should be similiar to the way I prepared the notes. You then send me the word document. I do not want you to show the screen itself - they are really hard to read! | |

It will go into the editor and ask if you want to create a new script. Enter yes and paste the script in and save it. Return to the prompt and enter @ createemp.sql and it should run and create the table for you. If you are using putty, remember to have the script text in notepad and highlight it. When you go into the editor the right click will paste it or you can uses shift + ins to paste. You can then write and exit. Back at the SQL prompt is where you run it with the @. Second SQL assignment Quiz on where with two parts: First part I want you to play computer and show me the output you think would be generated as opposed to running the query and letting Oracle give you the answer.

| Week #1 Week of September 7th |
INFORMATION: Welcome to CIS150 Oracle and SQLI recommend one of the text books in the syllabus if you like having a textbook, but a textbook is not required. There is enough material on the web and in my notes that I decided to make the book a recommendation. These books or another book dealing with Oracle SQL (we are using version 19c this semester) can be helpful as a reference. LOGIN INFORMATION: You can download Oracle, but that would not be my recommendation unless you are very experienced in complex downloads. Downloading Be very careful when you install, Oracle leaves a lot of footprints that makes reinstalling very difficult.The first approach to running Oracle will involve using putty to access Oracle. You should have received the login information you need for this course. If not, let me know. Two sites that can be used to download PuTTY are: PuTTY download PuTTY download Using Putty (copy and paste) Basic steps to login to putty and get to Oracle: 1) Start putty and put in the hostname as cisweb.bristolcc.edu and the port as 220 2) At the login screen enter your username and your Linux password. 3) When you see that you are at cisweb, enter sqlplus19c.sh 4) You then connect to Oracle and need to enter your username and Oracle password 5) You should see the SQL prompt Now you can create a table. Note that after you create tables, to see existing tables select table_name from user_tables. NOTES/EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Accompanying step-by-step notesFirst we will focus on getting into Oracle and then these are the notes that we will start to cover this week: Introduction to SQL in Oracle Create a table in SQL SQL Conditions Note that in many of the notes, the dates are quite old. SQL is SQL is SQL. Changes tend to be at the high end and not at the beginning. These notes were written after my first Oracle training, I have been back but have not seen the need to change the examples. When things are different, I will enter additional notes.

I like to have backup. Your goal should be to get homework in on the Thursday after the week it was assigned. I strongly urge you to do the COMMIT; after the table is created.
