| 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. 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! | |

| Week #11 Week of April 10th |
We will continue with Cursors and look at Exceptions this week. Basically we are finishing up last week. We had a catch up week last time I taught this and I am following that model. So you will have a catch up week that I am leaving for the end. But we can be flexible since the end is in sight. Assignments: Take some of your existing homework and add exceptions. I want to see you try all three types of exceptions. |
| Week #10 Week of April 3rd |
Erik will be available Monday at 2, Tues from 4-7 and 2-5 Thurs in K101. Note: In putty, if you go into the editor and press Control-R (Read File), and then press Control-T (To Files), get a list of all the scripts you've made! Here's the output I got.... I had to make my putty window narrow to get the list to come out in a single column, which then made it format better when I copied and pasted. Then if you just move the cursor to a file and press enter, it brings it up in the editor to use. We will continue looking at the cursor examples this week. Continuing example 1 using cursors Another set of cursor examples Covers: Another set of cursor exampes Separate speaker notes for Another set of cursor examples Examples we are going over in class: payprog.sql data.txt Data layout for studentchk.sql studentchk.sql createdonor.sql Script to create donor donorcursor1.sql donorcursor2.sql donorcursor3.sql decodecursor1.sql We finished cursors and and maybe will will have time to look at some of the things we skipped and also exceptions. Record and table types Introduction to exceptions There are also presentations for these notes that can help to clarify. Assignments: Use cursors to solve these problems. First Problem:Write a PL/SQL program to accomplish the following: Using the sample emp database, give everyone in dept 10 a 5% raise, everyone in dept 20 a 7.5% raise, everyone in department dept 30 a 10% raise. Do this using a simple IF...ELSE and a loop. Second Problem:Modify the problem in #1 to meet the following criteria: IF dept is 10 and the salary is greater than 2000 give a 6% raise otherwise give a 7% raise. IF dept is 20 and the salary is greater than 2500 give a 5% raise otherwise give a 5.5% raise. IF dept is 30 and the salary is greater than 1000 give a 7% raise otherwise give a 6.5% raise. Third Problem: Set up an inventory table and a transaction table that has sales, returns, and purchases (the transaction table should have a code with S for sales, R for returns and P for purchases). Create scripts to create and insert data into these tables. Fourth Problem: Using the tables you created in the fourth problem, process the transactions and determine the impact on inventory. Display information that gives the original inventory and the inventory after the sales, returns and purchases have been processed. You need to use cursors. |

More information on joins Some interesting examples Questions about work with SQL on a home installed version. To highlight, copy and paste SQL commands and output when you are using a window that works like a command prompt window. Right click on the top border around the command window, select edit and then mark to highlight. Do the same right click edit and select copy. Then you can paste in a document. Assignments: Here is a script to create the emp table: 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. 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. You can then write and exit. Back at the SQL prompt is where you run it with the @. Function assignment In problem #1 just to be clear, I want you to take a name that has been written with the slash separator in the format last/first m and flip it so it has first m last using Oracle functions. Specifically it can be done using substr and instr. We will start this quiz in clas. Oracle quiz I am interested in having you play computer - I do not want you to use the computer to get the results. You can check your results if you want to, but please do it on your own. |

I would suggest you create one that you can use with assignments from week 1 or week 2. Note that you need to show me the SQL and the results on all of the quiz questions. Check back! |
| Week #1 Week of January 23rd |
I am available after 2 on Tuesday or Thursday at 1:45 if you have questions. Check my office K-112 or the classroom K-101 or the central K Buildign lab. I recommend one of the text books in the syllabus, 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. Please note that many students have found it useful to have a copy of the text. I do recommend that you get one of these books or another book dealing with Oracle SQL (we are using version 11g this semester) as a reference. We will not do chapter by chapter coverage, the text gives you additional information on topics and a reference if you have questions. Since login information may not been sent, we are going to spend the first day looking briefly at the design of a database and the theory of relational databases. Please read information about third normal form and relational databases. I have put a variety of links to sources on the Web on the site under links and links to my site are listed below. For example: Normalization Please read the handout on definitions: Normalization definitions Please read the two examples - the first two postings under notes. Also view the slide presentation on normalization information about relational databases: Normalization - information on third normal form Separate speaker notes for normalization presentation Relational database information - information on 1 to 1, 1 to M, and M to M Separate speaker notes for relational database information LOGIN information: You need to decide if you want to download Oracle, use the BCC labs or login from home using Putty. Note that there is a reference to help you download and instal under Using Oracle: Installation and login. Downloading Be very careful when you install, Oracle leaves a lot of footprints that makes reinstalling very difficult. You should have received the login information you need for this course. If not, let me know. PuTTY is available in the labs. Two sites that can be used to download PuTTY are: PuTTY PuTTY 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 2) At the login screen enter your username and your Linux password. 3) When you see that you are at cisweb, enter sqlplus12c.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. Accompanying step-by-step notes 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 These are the accompanying presentations: Presentations: Introduction to SQL in Oracle Separate 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 NOTES: Note: You can use the committ command to make sure your work gets saved. Copy from SQLPlus so you can paste it onto the document you are submitting as your assignent Assignments: 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! |
