2. Create Table syntax

CREATE  TABLE  table_name  (


      column1 datatype,
      column2 datatype,
      column3 datatype,
    ....
);

 Click the exercise1 database from phpMyAdmin


 Click the SQL tab
 Type script to create table PET

 Click the Go button

 Populate table PET table

Exercise 1
The following business rules describe the TEACH database:

 A lecturer can teach several courses


 A lecturer should teach at least one course in a semester
 Each course is taught by one lecturer in a semester
 Not all courses can be taught in a semester
Entity Relationship Model (ERD) -refer to lecture 6

ERD is a conceptual model that shows all the data requirements for a organization.

Use SQL script to create database TEACH using the Relational Schemas below: refer to lecture 8

 LECTURER(LNum, LName)

 COURSE (CNum, CName,LNum)

NOTE: LNum is a foreign key in COURSE table

Solution

 Use your own data to populate table LECTURER

 Use your own data to populate table COURSE

Foreign key Constraints


PARENT TABLE
A B
a1 b1
a2 b2
CHILD TABLE
X A
x1 a1
x2 a1
x3 a2

Restrict
• RESTRICT option prevents the removal (i.e. using delete) or modification (i..e using an update) of
rows from the parent table.

• means that any attempt to delete and/or update the parent will fail throwing an error.

NO Action
• There will not be any change in the referencing rows when the referenced ones are deleted or
updated.
• Same as restrict
Cascade
• Delete: the referencing rows will be deleted automatically along with the referenced ones.

• IF WE DELETE row 1(a1) FROM parent it will delete rows 1 and 2 entries from child.

• Problem need to keep history

• CASCADE if the parent primary key is changed, the child value will also change to reflect that.

M. Chinyuku Database Systems 2022

• IF WE Update in row 1(a1) FROM parent it will update rows 1 and 2 entries from child.

Set Null
• On Delete/Update the value of referencing record will be set to NULL automatically along with
the referenced ones.

Activity 3
Develop a database with the following business requirements
“A departments have several lecturers. A department should have at least one
lecturer. A department is defined by a unique name. Each lecturer should belong
to only one department and can teach at least one course. A lecturer is defined by
a unique lecturer number and name. Each course has a unique ID and name. A
lecturer teaches a course during specific times in various venues.”
Solution
ERD

Relational Schemas
Department(DeptName)

Lecturer (LecturerNo, LecturerName,DeptName)

Course(CourseID, CourseName, )

Class(ClassID, CourseID, LecturerNo, Venue, Times)

Use your own data to populate the tables you created above
