| Note that the audio and Smartboard presentations for each class are posted within a couple of days. This
semester, please use 2019 audio and Smartboard since we do not meet in class. 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! | |
| HELP schedule | I will set up some optional class Zoom meetings that you can attend. Check the week of information to see the times and dates. My office hours are 11AM on Monday and Wednesday and 1PM on Tuesday and Thursday by appointment. , I can hold my office hours on Zoom. If it turns out other hours work better for students these may change, so check back. I am also available by request (give me a few time options) especially while we get other support in place. I have been meeting with a lot of students that request it, maybe something you should consider doing. You can email me with a couple of times you can meet and usually one of those will work. I will send out the information to contact me on Zoom. I will post availability but you can also set something up with me. Milo is the tutor for this course and I have sent you an email with his Zoom address and the times he is available.

INFORMATION: Welcome to Oracle and SQL - Fall 2022 (youtube version)Welcome to CIS150 Oracle and SQL For Fall 2020 I 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. Because of technical problems at Bristol, we do not have access to Oracle yet. Hopefully we will have access to Oracle in a week or so - if not I am working on an alternative way to start with SQL. So this week, we are going to start with the basics of SQL - see assignment below. LOGIN INFORMATION: You can download Oracle, but that would not be my recommendation unless you are very experienced in complex downloads. Downloading - enterprise edition 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 (some handouts have an older version, be sure to use 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 notes Remember the port has changed to 220.First 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. ACCOMPANYING POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS (These are not currently available) Introduction to SQL in OracleSeparate speaker notes for Introduction to SQL in Oracle Create a table in SQL Separate speaker notes for Create a table in SQL SQL Conditions Separate speaker notes for SQL Conditions TOPIC VIDEOS: Video to accompany Introduction to SQL in OracleVideo to accompany Create a table in SQL Video of logging on using putty, establishing a table and testing it Video to accompany SQL Conditions SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Spring 2020 and Fall 2019: (These are not currently available) These are lectures from last Spring and the previous Fall that I recorded. The accompanying Smartboard presentations show what was on the Smartboard and the audio includes my explanation.Intro to Oracle (9/3/19) Smartboard notes with accompanying audio Intro to Oracle (9/3/19) See notes under Smartboard presentation to accompany this audio Putty and more SQL (9/5/19) Smartboard notes with accompanying audio Putty and more SQL (9/5/19) See notes under Smartboard presentation to accompany this audio ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: NOTES: For this week I want you to write out the SQL for the assignment and then using the data, I want you to play computer and show the output that the SQL would generate using my sample data. The technology problems at Bristol mean that we cannot do this assignment online this week. I asking you to write the SQL and then analyze the data and determine what your SQL SELECT statement would show. Pass in the SQL and the data that would be displayed.I am leaving up the instructions for doing Oracle so that you will have them when access is restored. Please copy and paste onto a document rather than taking a picture. I am finding the black background a problem on some assignments. Note: You can use the commit command to make sure your work gets saved. Copy from SQLPlus (but I actually prefer copy and paste and not having the black background) All assignments must be turned in using the email addresses priscilla.grocer@bristolcc.edu. 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. Oracle assignment on introductory material (html) Oracle assignment on introductory material (doc) 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 or pictures of the screen - they are really hard to read! To repeat: For this semesters assignments, I need the code you write and the results unless there are other specifications in the assignment. |
