Answers to SQL Practice Questions

ANSWERS: (A) Create/Alter/Drop Table Commands:

CREATE TABLE EMP (emp_num int , emp_fname char(20) WITH DEFAULT 'unknown' , emp_lname char(20) NOT NULL , job_class char(3) , hiredate date NOT NULL , CONSTRAINT emp_pk PRIMARY KEY (emp_num) , CONSTRAINT job_fk FOREIGN KEY (job_class) REFERENCES job (job_code) CONSTRAINT emp_lname_uk UNIQUE ( emp_lname ) , CONSTRAINT hiredate_ck CHECK ( hiredate >= '1/1/1990' ) ) 2. CREATE TABLE JOB ( job_code char( 3 ) , job_class char( 30 ) , chg_hour decimal (5,2) WITH DEFAULT 15 , CONSTRAINT job_pk PRIMARY KEY (job_code) , CONSTRAINT job_class_ck CHECK ( chg_hour >= 15 ) ) 3. ALTER TABLE job ADD COLUMN overtimeCharge dec (6,2) NOT NULL ALTER TABLE job ADD CONSTRAINT charge_ck CHECK( chg_hour >= 25 ) ALTER TABLE job ALTER column Job_Class set default 'NA'

ANSWERS: (B) Data Manipulation Commands:

1. Insert the last 3 rows shown into the EMP table. INSERT into emp ( emp_num, emp_fname, emp_lname, job_class, hiredate ) VALUES ( 106, 'William', 'Smithfield', 'PRG', '10/31/2002' ), INSERT into emp ( emp_num, emp_fname, emp_lname ) VALUES ( 114, 'Annelise', 'Jones' ) INSERT into emp ( emp_num, emp_lname ) VALUES ( 118, 'Frommer' )

2. Update the employee fname to Jim instead of James for employee 118 (Note: if no WHERE clause is used, then all records are updated) UPDATE emp SET emp_fname = 'Jim' WHERE emp_num = 118 3. Update the Database Designer chg_hour value by 10% UPDATE job SET chg_hour = chg_hour * 1.1 WHERE job_class = 'Database Designer'

4. Remove the row from the job table for job code PRG ( Note: if no WHERE clause is used, then all records are deleted ) DELETE FROM job WHERE job_code = 'PRG'

5. Remove the JOB table and all of it's data DROP TABLE job

6. Remove the employees from the employee table WHERE the hiredate is before 1-Jan-90 DELETE FROM emp WHERE hiredate < '1-Jan-90'

7. Remove the emp table and all of it's data DROP TABLE emp

ANSWER: (C) Select Commands:

1. Show the employee first and last names and their job class description and hourly charge. SELECT emp.emp_fname , emp.emp_lname , job.job_class , job.chg_hour emp, job emp.job_class = job.job_code

FROM WHERE

2. Same question as above, but only show the records WHERE the chg_hour is <100 SELECT emp.emp_fname , emp.emp_lname , job.job_class , job.chg_hour emp, job emp.job_class = job.job_code job.chg_hour = < 100

FROM WHERE AND

3. Select the hours worked and lastname and hiredate for all employees. (Note: the default for all selects is to show all records that are joined. The above statement has no further conditions for the WHERE clause) SELECT FROM WHERE emp.emp_lname , emp.hiredate , proj_emp.hour emp, proj_emp emp.emp_num = proj_emp.emp_num

4. Create a view called: WORK_INFO which will select the hours worked and lastname and hiredate for all employees hired before 1-jan-02. (Note: the default for all selects is to show all records that are joined. The above statement has no further conditions for the WHERE clause) CREATE VIEW WORK_INFO as SELECT emp.emp_lname , emp.hiredate , proj_emp.hour FROM emp, proj_emp WHERE emp.emp_num = proj_emp.emp_num AND emp.hiredate < '1-jan-02' 5. Select employee fname and lname and all projects that they are working on. Save this select statement as a view called: EMP_PROJECTS (Note: the default for all selects is to show all records that are joined. The above statement has no further conditions for the WHERE clause) CREATE VIEW EMP_PROJECTS as SELECT emp.emp_fname , emp.emp_lname , project.proj_name FROM emp, project , proj_emp WHERE proj_emp.proj_num = project.proj_num AND proj_emp.emp_num = emp.emp_num 6. Select employee fname and lname and all projects that they are working on for project 18. SELECT FROM WHERE AND AND emp.emp_fname , emp.emp_lname , project.proj_name emp, project , proj_emp proj_emp.proj_num = project.proj_num proj_emp.emp_num = emp.emp_num project.proj_num = 18

7. Select all project names and job class descriptions that the project requires. Save this select statement as a view called: EMP_JOB_SKILLS CREATE VIEW EMP_JOB_SKILLS as SELECT project.proj_name , job.job_class FROM project , job , emp, proj_emp WHERE proj_emp.proj_num = project.proj_num AND proj_emp.emp_num = emp.emp_num AND emp.job_class = job.job_code

8. Select all project names and job class descriptions that the project requires for only the job code of DBD. Save this statement as a view called: DATABASE_DESIGNERS CREATE VIEW DATABASE_DESIGNERS as SELECT project.proj_name , job.job_class FROM project , job , emp, proj_emp WHERE proj_emp.proj_num = project.proj_num AND proj_emp.emp_num = emp.emp_num AND emp.job_class = job.job_code AND emp.job_class = 'DBD'

9. Select customer first and last name, credit limit, and salesrep first and last name WHERE the credit limit is >= 1500. SELECT customer.first_name, customer.last_name, customer.credit_limit, salesrep.last_name as salesLastName, salesrep.first_name as salesFirstName FROM premiere/customer, premiere/salesrep WHERE customer.credit_limit >= 1500
