DBM502 Database Management Assignment Help

Build a small, simple database for your personal use. Some suggestions might be an address book, tax deduction tracking, or automotive history. You must use a relational database management system (RDBMS). You may use any RDBMS you wish (e.g. Access, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, etc.), although if you’re unfamiliar with any product, then you will probably find Access to be the easiest to use. Your database must have at least 2 related tables. All of your tables should be fully normalized, such that redundant data is removed. You must show how your tables were created (i.e. Design Views or SQL). You must include all applicable integrity constraints (i.e. primary keys, foreign keys, required/NOT NULL, unique, and validation rules/CHECK constraints). Submit for grading a single Word or .pdf file with screen snapshots showing all steps in the creation of your database, the creation of your tables, the population of your tables with at least 3 rows of data each, and at least 3 queries of your data. Do not submit your actual database. Include at the end of your Word or .pdf file a 200- to 350-word write-up to respond to the following: • As you built your database, what challenges did you encounter? What tips do you have for your fellow students? Learn More

Individual Assignment: ERD and Table Specifications Resources: Huffman Trucking Virtual Organization Review the information currently housed in Huffman Trucking’s database, in the Entities and Attributes for Fleet Truck Maintenance file on the virtual Organizations site. Create a Microsoft® Visio® Logical ERD, based on the Entities and Attributes for Fleet Truck Maintenance document, and any additional information needed to normalize the database. Ensure that your entities are properly normalized. Properly annotate the entities, primary keys, foreign keys, and relationships in your ERD. All relationships should be one-to-many. Use the crow’s feet notation for your ERD. Every entity should be related to at least one other entity. Create table design metadata specifications in a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet based on your ERD. Indicate primary keys, foreign keys, and new attributes as in the entity relationship diagram. For each table in your metadata, indicate the table’s name, the columns in the table, the data types for the columns, the sizes of the columns, the primary keys, the foreign keys, the required/NOT NULL columns, the default values, and the range of legal values for the columns.

Individual Assignment Database Creation and Reporting Resources: The entity relationship diagram and normalized table specifications from the Week Two individual assignment, SQL Server® and Reporting Services on the Toolwire® site, and Beginning Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Programming Based on your Week #2 IA’s table design metadata, program your own SQL statements using SQL Server’s Management Studio to create, populate, and query a relational database for the Huffman Trucking’s fleet truck maintenance application. (3 points) Use CREATE TABLE statements to create a table for each entity for Huffman Trucking’s fleet truck maintenance database. (2 points) Use INSERT statements to populate the tables with realistic sample data. Include at least 2 rows for each table. (2.5 points; 0.5 point each) Use a separate SELECT statement to create each of the following queries: • A simple query for each table that returns all of the columns and all of the rows for each table. • A query that displays each part that has been purchased by Huffman Trucking Company. For each part, also retrieve its parts catalog information from the parts catalog table and vendor information from the vendor table. • A query that displays all of the rows in the vehicle maintenance table. For each vehicle maintenance row, join the corresponding information from the maintenance descriptions table and vehicles table. • A query that displays each row in the maintenance work order table. For each row in the maintenance work order table, join the corresponding information from the maintenance description table. • A query that counts the number of maintenance work orders for each vehicle in the maintenance work order table. Display the vehicle column and the corresponding count of work orders for each vehicle. (2.5 points) Create a report using the SQL Server Business Intelligence Reporting Services of the parts purchasing history for Huffman Trucking Company. The report should display all parts purchasing history including manufacturer and vendor information, parts catalog information, and associated parts inventory issues, and all parts inventory purchases. Format the report to present to senior management at Huffman Trucking. Place screen snapshots of all of the above SQL statements as they executed in SQL Server Management Studio showing the SQL statements and the results returned, as well as a screen snapshot of your Reporting Services report, showing your actual data, into a single Word or .pdf file Learn More
