COMP2400 – Relational Databases SQL Assessment

COMP2400 – Relational Databases SQL Assessment

Due date: 8am, 20 September 2016

This assessment will be marked out of 20. It will count for 20% of the final grade. Below you will find 2 questions about SQL. In addition to these two questions, you need to attend a 5 minute oral exam in Week 8, which will count 2 marks. Remember, marks are assigned for the process of finding a solution, not for the result.

Instructions:

• This assignment should be done individually, and no group work is allowed.
• You must submit two files: mydatabase.sql for Question 1 and myqueries.sql for Question 2 on Wattle before the due date. For each file, we have provided a template in the folder “Mid-term SQL assessment (for COMP2400 students)” on Wattle. You must download the templates, and enter your UID into the first section of each file. You must also add your answers into the templates following the provided instructions, and ensure that your files are executable in Postgres without producing any errors. More specifically,
  • –  For Question 1, it should be executable in your own database u1234567, i.e., “u1234567=> \i mydatabse.sql”.
  • –  For Question 2, it should be executable in the given database moviedb, i.e., “moviedb=> \i myqueries.sql”.
• Using “psql” will connect you to your own database u1234567 by default. To connect to moviedb, you can use

  – u1234567@partch: ∼$ psql moviedb
  – u1234567@partch: ∼$ psql -d moviedb -U u1234567
  – or use “\connect” in psql, e.g., “u1234567=> \connect moviedb”.

• No hard copy is required to submit for this assessment.
• Late submission, unless authorized by the lecturers, will attract the penalties 5% per day.

  If submitted after one week of its deadline, the assignment will not be marked.

• Plagiarism will attract academic penalties in accordance with the ANU guidelines.

  Good luck and enjoy the time you will spend on this assignment.

Question 1 7 Marks

A university manages car parking on its campus. The IT Service of the university has designed the following database schema:

• PUser(UserID, Name, Email)
• ParkingPermit(PermitTypeID, Location, Fee, Duration, Description) • ActivePermit(PermitTypeID, UserID, IssueTime, VehicleRegNo)

PUser contains user information and UserID uniquely identifies a user. ParkingPermit con- tains the information about different types of parking permits, which can be uniquely identified by PermitTypeID. ActivePermit contains the parking permits issued to users, which has the primary key {PermitTypeID, UserID}.

The template file mydatabase.sql on Wattle contains the SQL statements which were used by the IT Service to create this database. However, this initial implementation made a few mistakes, and missed some key constraints. Your task is to answer the following questions by adding SQL statements into mydatabase.sql to get the desired database. Note that, do not delete or change any existing SQL statements that were written in the template file and do not add your DROP TABLE statements into mydatabase.sql.

1. 1.1  The attribute Fee in ParkingPermit is initially implemented as having the data type INT. Now the IT Service realises that this is not well designed because it does not allow to store fee that are decimal numbers (e.g. 178.95) but do allow to store “negative fee” (e.g. -100). Can you fix these issues by ensuring that Fee can only contain values between 0 and 10,000 which may have two decimal places? If you can, add your SQL statements into mydatabase.sql.

   (1 Mark)

2. 1.2  Can you ensure that the values of Location in ParkingPermit can only be one of the three car parks on campus: ‘Main Car Park’, ‘Building Front Reserved Parking’, or ‘Visitor Parking Area’? If you can, add your SQL statements into mydatabase.sql.

   (1 Mark)

3. 1.3  It turns out to be essential to have a phone number for each user so that they can be contacted promptly. A valid phone number should be either 10-digit numbers (mobile) or 8-digit (landline without area code). Can you add an additional attribute PhoneNumber into PUser and also ensure a valid phone number can be entered into PhoneNumer for each user? If you can, add your SQL statements into mydatabase.sql.

   (1.5 Mark)

4. 1.4  Can you ensure that the values of UserID in ActivePermit must also exist in PUser, and similarly, the values of PermitTypeID in ActivePermit exist in ParkingPermit? If you can, add your SQL statements into mydatabase.sql.

   (1 Mark)

1.5 Write SQL statements to insert all the following records into PUser, ActivePermit, and ParkingPermit. Add your SQL statements into mydatabase.sql.

(1.5 Mark)

1.6 Suppose that you want to increase the parking fee of ‘Main Car Park’ by 10%. How can you achieve this using a SQL statement?

(1 Mark)
