Details for each query are included in the separate Word doc in Sakai (Assignment
01. Get me a list of our publishers and, oh yes,5)
I need to know where they are located.

02. We want to spread around our purchases. If I tell you a state, can you tell me what
publishers we deal with in that state?

03. I wonder how many university-affiliated publishers we deal with. Let me see a list of all of
them, sorted by where they are.

04. I was just asked about that guy Prinz or Prince or Prens, but I can't remember how his
name is spelled? While you're at it, make the query so that we can use it each time we need
to find any authors whose names start with the same letters.

05. We have books in different languages, but how many titles do we have in each language.
Let's start by finding out the books for which we have more than two copies, but only the titles
of the books that are in German. We need to see the number of copies, the name of the book,
and the name of the publisher.

06. Are we spending too much money on cheap books. We need a list of the titles (just the
titles) of all the books whose retail price is less than $10, but only those titles for which we
have bought more than 3 copies. Sort the titles by the number we have in stock, but make
sure the titles are arranged alphabetically.

07. Oops, I got that wrong. I meant to say that we want to know the titles of all the books
designated as cheap as well as the titles of the books that we have more than 3 copies of,
whether they were cheap or expensive. This time we need to see both the number and the
titles, by number first and title second.

08. My hearing is going and sometimes I can't quite distinguish the difference in the
pronunciation of words that begin with B from words that begin with P. Thus, when someone
asks about our books, I am not sure I understand which one they are asking for so I need a list
of both possibilities. While you're at it, make it so that I can call up books that begin with
either of any two letters.

09. Hey, what states are our publishers in and how many publishers are in each state? I don't
need the names of the publishers; I just need the number in each state. But I do need to see
them sorted by the number in each state with the largest number first.

10. The fire insurance people need to know how much our book stocks are worth. We need a
list of the replacement costs for each our books. They don't need to know the individual cost
or the number of copies we have, but they do want to see the replacement costs from largest
to smallest, to include the titles of the books that will need replacing.

11. What and how many books do we have on order and how much of a break are we getting
on the price? I need to know how much of a break we get on each book and total savings we
are getting on each order.

12. I need to rattle some publisher cages about slow deliveries. Get me a list of the publishers
as well as their cities and states (or countries). Sort it by publishers because I also want to see
how many of each title we have ordered from each one and how much each order will cost if
we have to buy it locally at full retail price.

13. For no particular reason, of the books in our collection, I would like to know what authors
are published by what publishers and how many titles each author has by that publisher. Make
it so I can do it by individual publisher.

10

14. OK, this is the last request. Our investments have lost value and this has cut into our
budget. We need to know where we can save some money fast. Get a list of all our
outstanding orders, ones that we have sent to the publishers, but that the publishers have not
yet filled. We need to see how much money we have allocated for these orders so we can
cancel them if we have to. I promise, this is the last one.

Create a Shelf List Report so the volunteers can tell where to shelve the books. The books will
be shelved by their Library of Congress number. We also want to know how many books we
have in stock and how much each one costs. Be careful with objects bound to values in the
tables. If they need to grow to display the full bound value, make certain you use the Can
Grow property
Change the title of the above report to make it more descriptive
At the end of the report, include a count of the total number of book titles in the library
Make certain that the report will print on an standard letter-sized, portrait orientation page
without extending past the printable areas of the page to the right.
