Chapter AE, Problem AE1.2

Explanation of Solution

a.

  • Mention a query as a manager of Denver plant to know the amount of time employees are spending on special project:

    To know the amount of time employees are spending on special project can be answered directly by the Denver Sum query which is accurate, relevant and sufficient. The answer to amount of time employees are spending on special project can also be answered by the Plant Sum query for Denver and the other two plants.

  • Mention a query as a manager of Reno plant to find the amount of time employees are spending on special projects:

    There is not a single query that answers the amount of time employees are spending on special project directly; however, Plant sum query can answer this question. Plant sum query is accurate and sufficient but adds extra information as it calculates the total hours for Denver and Chicago plants also.

  • Mention a query to know how much time employees are spending on Quota Computation project:

    The total amount of time employees are working on Quota computation project can be calculated using Sorted Query 1. These query lists the total hours worked by employees in quota computation project in Chicago project which can be manually added to find the total hours spend on quota computation project by Chicago plant employees. Here the data is sufficient but needs manipulation to produce relevant result and hence accuracy is questionable. The data is sufficient as there is information in the query that is not really needed.

  • Mention a query to find the number of hours worked by employees in the quota computation project in all three plants:

    To find the number of hours worked by employees in the quota computation project in all three plants cannot be answered directly by any query...

The Car Maintenance team also wants to store the actual maintenance operations in the database. The team wants to start with a table to store CAR_ID (CHAR(5)), MAINTENANCE_TYPE_ID (CHAR(5)) and MAINTENANCE_DUE (DATE) date for the operation. Create a new table named MAINTENANCES. The PRIMARY_KEY should be the combination of the three fields. The CAR_ID and MAINTENACNE_TYPE_ID should be foreign keys to their original tables. Cascade update and cascade delete the foreign keys.
For this problem, the registrar’s office has requested that we create a report of students and the number of courses they have taken to verify minimum graduation requirements. You have been tasked with creating a table and procedure that track this information. To complete this problem: a. create a table (NOT a temporary table) called student_course_nums within the university database schema. b. Write a procedure that accepts a student ID as input. You must name your procedure: __stuCourseNumsProc Where is your last name and is the day of the month you were born. Below is an example of how I named my procedure: Hollers_21_stuCourseNumsProc c. The procedure calculates the total number of course sections attended by that student, and adds a tuple to the student_course_nums table consisting of the student’s ID number, name, and total courses attended - call these attributes: ID, name, and tot_courses. d. If the student already has an entry in the table, then the procedure makes sure the…
Question-. For this problem create a table called instructor_course_nums within the university database schema. Write a procedure that accepts an instructor ID as input. The procedure calculates the total number of course sections taught by that instructor, and adds a tuple to the instructor_course_nums table consisting of the instructors ID number, name, and total courses taught - call these attributes: ID, name, and tot_courses. If the instructor already has an entry in the table, then the procedure makes sure the total number of courses taught in the instructor_course_nums table is up-to-date. You must name your procedure: __insCourseNumsProc Where is your last name and is the day of the month you were born. Below is an example of how I named my procedure: Morabito_05__insCourseNumsProc instructor table data:  id character varying(5), name character varying(20) , dept_name character varying(20) ,                                              salary numeric(8,2) teaches table data…
