Oracle and SQL (CIS150/50)

Weekly Schedule

Please do not change your Linux or Oracle passwords.

Essentially there are two ways for you to be able to work with Oracle:
1) Download the full version of Oracle and install it on your computer and work locally - that takes a lot of room and leaves a lot of footprints.
2) Access the BCC server installed Oracle from home using putty - there are instructions for that by Eric at my site.

Remember, all assignments including inclass assignments must be done by everyone - that includes online students and students who missed the class.. Play computer means to figure out the results yourself by evaluating the data rather than running the query. When you are asked to write code you should also show the results that the code generated unless specifically told not to.

If you get an assignment back without a grade you need to fix it and resubmit to get a grade.

The college wants you to use the Bristol email account when communicating with me.

Remember HELP is available on Zoom - see HELP section below.

The CIS pool is now available for students that need to access licensed software that they cannot use from home.
Remote access virtual desktop
Instructional video for using Remote Access Virtual Desktop - HTML

Schedule by weekInformation to cover
  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 1 on Monday, 10 on Tuesday, 1 on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday. I 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.

FINAL:
REQUIRED STATUS SHEET
I will post the final on Friday, April 29th and you will have one week to do it so it is due on Friday, May 6th. The required status sheet must also be turned in. Note that I only correct finals where the student has turned in the required status sheet. The status sheet is your way of being sure I have all your assignments. If you do not match my records, I will contact you.
FINAL EXAM
The final is open notes and open book but the only one you can ask questions to is me. Milo is not involved in the final. It is an individual project.
I will take homework the following week which is the last week of classes. Homework is due on Wednesday, May 11th but I will take a few assignments through Friday, May 13th. I just do not have the time to correct a lot of assignments passed in on Friday because my grades are due.

ASSIGNMENTS TO DO:

Assignment: 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.
Please check back as usual!
Week #10
Week of April 4th

INFORMATION:

We are going to come back to Records and Table types because I think it will be better to lay the cursor foundation first. So we are going to look at Introduction to Cursors and Example 1 using cursors and its continuation.
Let me know if you would like a Zoom to go over cursors.
Note that there will be a week devoted mainly to catch up before the end of the semester.
April 8th is the last day that students can withdraw from their classes. If you are far behind you should do a realistic analysis and decide if you want to withdraw. If you have questions, we can talk!!! You should also talk to financial aid if you have financial aid and you want to be sure you understand the impact of failing and the impact of withdrawing.

More cursors (10/31/19) See notes under Smartboard presentation

ASSIGNMENTS TO DO:

Work on understanding cursors.
Use cursors to solve this problem:
Note that my example of two cursors using the drive table and the donation table will be very helpful in doing this. Think of drive like dept.
Problem #1: I want you to write a script that will handle the inven table and the department table. The script should accumulate the onhand for departments and write to a new table where you will store the dept, the department name and the total of the onhand. I would also like you to use the dbms lines to show the processing that happens. Everyone needs to turn in this script including the dbms output and a listing of what is on the new table. Do it doing the while structure
In response to a question the inven table could have an inven number, a dept number (does not have to be a number) and an onhand amount. The dept table could have a dept number (match to dept on inven table) and a department name. You should assume there are multiple inven records per dept number and only one record per dept number on the department table.
Problem #2: Re do using the loop structure.
Check back as always!
Week #9

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:
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 January 24th

INFORMATION:

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.

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.

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 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.
