Your Task
This assessment evaluates your SQL querying proficiency and your ability to justify and explain query logic. You will receive a database schema, data, and a scenario. You can use Gen AI tools for specific tasks only. The assessment consists of a SQL query task (Part A) and a detailed video explanation (Part B).
Assessment Description
In this assessment, you will use a case study provided as a supplementary document. Your task is to retrieve data on the given database using My SQL to find answers to the questions in the Assessment Instructions. The database contains thousands of rows of data, making it impractical to find answers manually.
This assessment aims to achieve the following subject learning outcomes:
| LO1: | Investigate the use of Relational Database Management Systems in organisations. |
| LO2: | Construct database models. |
| LO4: | Create queries to manage data using a database query language. |
Assessment Instructions
Part A: SQL Querying
As an individual, you must download the database and data files and load them into MySQL. Once loaded, you must develop queries for the following questions:
Note: You should include a comment above each query, specifying which question you are answering. In addition, you can use Gen AI tools to get an idea about how to answer Questions (110)only, and responses to the SQL queries should be restricted to only the clauses used in workshop materials.
Question 1: Display the first names of all employees who work in the department located in Sydney in alphabetical order.
Question2: Show employees who have worked at the University the shortest amount of time. Question 3: Display the names of all employees whose age is a palindrome.
Question 4: Create a procedure to list the departments along with the number of employees in each department.
Question5: Create a function that finds the average salary of employees in each department. Question 6: Find the names and salaries of employees who are older than 40 years.
Question 7: Show the employee details and their department names for those employees who have a “Lecturer” title.
Question8: Display employees’ first and last names and workout the original salary for all employees and their new salary after their (10%) bonus applied.
Question9: Add a new attribute called “Employee Initials” to the Employees table.
Question 10: Write a query that populates “Employee Initials”, based off the existing stored names. Question11:Write250wordsexplainingtheintegrityofthisdatabase. Is it up to standard?If yes,
Explain why and how. If not, what is wrong with the database’s integrity?
Include your SQL queries in a single .sql file and submit it via MyKBS.
Part B: Video Explanation
You should record a video discussing the following:
- Justify each SQL query in detail, including the syntax, the purpose of the query, and the appropriate output.
- Ensure your video is clear and audible.
- Show your SQL queries and the database schema while you explain.
- Keep your explanation concise and focused within a 9-minute to11-minute time frame.
