Assignment 3

Class: ME Comp Date: 10/02/2011

1. Each offering of a course (i.e. a section) can have many Teaching

assistants; each teaching assistant is a student. Extend the existing
schema by adding or altering tables to accommodate this requirement.

2. According to the existing schema, one student can have only one advisor.

1. Alter the schema to allow a student to have multiple

advisors and make sure that you are able to insert multiple
advisors for a student.
2. Write SQL queries on the modified schema. You will need
to insert data to ensure the query results are not empty.
1. Find all students who have more than 3 advisors
2. Find all students who are co-advised by Prof.
Srinivas and Prof. Ashok.
3. Find students advised by instructors from different
departments. etc.
2. Write SQL queries for the following:
1. Delete all information in the database which is more than
10 years old. Add data as necessary to verify your query.
2. Delete the course CS 101. All courses which have this as a
prereq should remove this from its prereq set. Create a
cascade constraint and verify.

3. Write the create table SQL commands to create the following

tables:
1. phone(phone_id, brand, model, price)

 This table represents a mobile phone.

 brand is some string like 'Nokia', 'Samsung' etc.
 model is a string such as 'N95', 'Galaxy3' etc.
2. network(network_id, name, type)
 This table represents mobile phone networks such as
'Airtel', 'BSNL' etc.
3. deal(id, phone_id, network_id, deal_price, start_date,
end_date)
 Deal is an offer for a phone when bought along with
a network
 The deal price is valid only between start_date and
end_date
  The phone_id and network_id attributes are foreign
keys to the phone and the network table respectively
 Create constraints to check the following:
1. The start_date of a deal should always be <= its
end_date.
2. The network type should be one of the following values:
'GSM', 'CDMA', 'BOTH'
 Modify the create table script and add a cascade constraint so
that, when a phone is deleted (i.e., no longer being manufactured),
all deals for that phone are deleted.
 Try to insert inconsistent data and verify the constraints. Provide
insert statements that fail, along with the error message.

Few Solutions for second assignment:

1. Find the number of instructors who have never taught any course. If the
result of your query is 0, add appropriate data (and include corresponding
insert statements) to ensure the result is not 0.

Query:

select count(*) from instructor

where ID not in (select ID from teaches);

2. Find the total capacity of each of the buildings in the university

Query:

select building, sum(capacity) from classroom group by building;

3. For each student, compute the total credits they have successfully
completed, i.e. total credits of courses they have taken, for which they have
a non-null grade other than 'F'. Do NOT use the tot_creds attribute of
student.

Query:

select student.ID, name, sum(course.credits)

from takes, student, course
where grade <> 'F'
and grade is not null
and takes.course_id = course.course_id
and student.ID = takes.ID
group by student.ID, name;
4. Find the number of students who have been taught (at any time) by an
instructor named 'Srinivasan'. Make sure you count a student only once even
if the student has taken more than one course from Srinivasan.

Query:

select count(distinct takes.ID)

from instructor, takes, teaches
where takes.course_id = teaches.course_id
and takes.sec_id = teaches.sec_id
and takes.semester = teaches.semester
and takes.year = teaches.year
and teaches.ID=instructor.ID
and instructor.name='Srinivasan';

I hope rest u will try and submit the assignment on or before: 15th Feb 2011.
