| Week #15 Assignments Week of December 11th |
Some homework is coming in Monday, so I will take a couple of things on Monday, but that is
absolutely it!!! Homework is due by the last day of classes - I will take a few assignments per person
over the weekend - I cannot correct a massive amount so I will hold them and correct
them over break and resubmit a grade if you send me tons of work after the last day of
classes. We will have catch-up days this week - your final is scheduled for December 21st at 2:45. That means it has to be emailed to me prior to that start time if you are passing in via email. I will send it prior to the 14th so you can look at it and ask questions on the 14th. If you do not receive the final via email by the 14th, please let me know and I will resend it. Actually, please confirm that you received it! See help schedule above. Required Status Sheet Everyone must complete the status sheet. If you are requesting an incomplete, I need a plan. Note that on question #10 in part II there was a typo where it said majormode instead of majorcode. |

| Week #3 Week of September 18th |
I want you to use the text as reference and to read along in it one or two chapters a
week - I go through the course in the order that it was given at Oracle
so I may not be totally in sync with the book. Last week and the beginning of
this week we covered what is in chapter #2 and #3. We will then move into
chapter #5 and #6 as we talk about functions. The following week we will do
chapter #4 which is joining tables. I have passwords for students who want to use BCC labs - if you were not in class and you plan to use our labs, you need to send me an email asking for your userid and password. These are the notes that I will attempt to get through this week. I still have a little left last week, so I may not complete everything. More on maintaining an SQL table SQL functions More SQL functions Group SQL functions You should also look at the accompanying PowerPoint presentations: More on maintaining an SQL table Separate speaker notes for More on maintaining an SQL table SQL functions - part 1 character Separate speaker notes for SQL functions - part 1 characters SQL functions - part 2 numeric & date Separate speaker notes for SQL functions - part 2 numeric & date More SQL functions (includes DECODE, ways to edit SQL code and nested functions) Separate speaker notes for more SQL functions Group functions Separate speaker notes for group functions We started looking at relational databases - the notes and presentations will be listed under next week, but they are the next thing in the list of notes. Assignments: Oracle create, maintain and query assignment Oracle quiz This will be done in class by inclass students - distance students should do at home - 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 | |
| Week #2 Week of September 11th |
I have reserved K-101 for 11:00 on Tuesday for question/help etc., essentially a
lab support office hour. So if you want to go over anything, please plan to
come at that time. This will be every week unless I post otherwise. If no one is
in the lab, I will go back to my office in K-112. Read chapter #2 in the text (hopefully it will be in this week). Note that I work more off the notes so sometimes I am not totally in sync with the text. Please use the text also for reference. Look up things that I am covering that have not yet appeared in the text. I really leave reading the text up to you - your responsibility. Read the notes and study the presentations for: Introduction to SQL in Oracle, Create a table in SQL, SQL Conditions and start reading Working with SQL. Many of the notes and presentations were done with an earlier version of Oracle. It does not matter when you are working from the SQL prompt. When it does matter, I will point out the differences. Notes: We actually started the first two sets of notes in class on Friday. Theere is an audio section on the class activities that can be listened to with the notes. Introduction to SQL in Oracle Create a table in SQL SQL Conditions Working with SQL 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 Working with SQL Separate speaker notes for Working with SQL Note the first few slides in Working with SQL show login procedures using scott and tiger. If you want an Oracle password for BCC please let me know. Check back - we may look at more on maintaining an SQL table. Assignment: Oracle assignment on introductory material Working with Oracle (lab work not to pass in) A few people are having trouble with the download or the installation, if you are having problems please post what is going wrong on the class blog. Those of you who got things working, please check the blog and try to help those who are having a problem. Thanks! | |
| Week #1 Week of September 4th |
Read chapter #1 in the text. You should take this time to get a copy of Oracle if you are working on a computer outside the labs. You can use 7.3, 8, 8i, or 9i. Version 9i comes with your book. You can also download from Oracle. See information under Using Oracle. You will be given a password for using Oracle at BCC - hopefully next week. To give you some time to get a copy of Oracle installed, we are going to deal with the theory of relational databases this week. If you are without access to Oracle, please let me know what your problem is so we can try to get you up and running! Be very careful when you install, Oracle leaves a lot of footprints that makes reinstalling ver difficult. 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. Apparently it takes a few days for Oracle to email back the registration key so it would pay to get the process started soon. 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 Other examples can be found at my web site under Notes and handouts - Normalization and Relational Database (scroll down to the bottom of the notes and handouts screen to find them). Assignment: Set up relational database for an oil company (very basic) Note this should be a design only - it should not be done using Oracle Note: Please note that I have put up additional notes that might help with this assignment - they are under Notes and Handouts - Normalization and Relational Database and Misc (scroll to the bottom of Notes and Handouts). You should check back to make sure there have been no additions! | |
