| This semester, please use 2019/2020 audio and Smartboard as an extra resource 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, but I need to know some times and days that work for you. , I am available by request/appointment (give me a few time day 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: I would like to meet with you this week - do you have suggestions for dates/times.Please do not change any of the passwords we have given you. I need to be able to get to your site as does the IT staff if there is a problem. NOTES/EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: These are the notes that I will attempt to get through this week.More on maintaining an SQL table SQL functions More SQL functions Group SQL functions TOPIC VIDEOS: Maintain OracleCharacter Functions in Oracle Other kinds of Oracle Functions Decode Function in Oracle Group Functions in Oracle TOPIC VIDEOS using Horizon: I want you took at this step by step video where I upload a file to cisweb using WinSCP which is available through Horizon.Upload to cisweb Finally when you have it uploaded onto cisweb, you need to figure out the address to give to others to see the file or files you upload. There is a very short video on that. See page in browser Now we will look at downloading and using an SQL file in Oracle. Specifically we will use at the createemp.sql script which I provided in the assignments. Downloading SQL in Oracle Step-by-step notes on downloading and using an SQL file in Oracle You can do other things as well because you now have access to the files you have set up through the virtual environment. SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Spring 2020 and Fall 2019: Where, maintenace, functions in SQL (9/10/19) Check accompanying audioWhere, maintain, functions in SQL (9/10/19) See notes under Smartboard presentation Functions and groups (9/12/19) Check accompanying audio Functions and groups (9/12/19) See notes under Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Please copy and paste onto a document rather than taking a picture. I am finding the black background a problem on some assignments.Here is a script to create the emp table: Virtual makes it a little more complicated - I will put together a video and notes - see above. Script to create emp table (createemp.sql) You can enter edit createemp.sql or another name at the SQL prompt. 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. If it does not ask you can just paste (different versions ask and don't ask). WriteOut and return to the prompt by using the exit 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 @. Query Quiz Second SQL assignment |
| Week #1 Week of September 4th |
INFORMATION: Intro to Fall 2023 coursesWelcome to Oracle and SQL - Fall 2022 (youtube version) Older introductions: Welcome to CIS150 Oracle and SQL For Fall 2021/Spring 2022 Welcome to CIS150 Oracle and SQL For Fall 2021/Spring 2022 (you tube 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. 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.You will access putty through Horizon so the first step is to connect. Horizon (Janelle Arruda) You will be 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. The accompanying PowerPoint presentations got lost in the technical problems last year. They were a nice supplement but not necessary. I did the topic videos to take their place. 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 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: 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 should 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! So to repeat: For this semesters assignments, I need the code you write and the results unless there are other specifications in the assignment. |
