Student Lab Manual Advance T-SQL for SQL Server

Student Lab Manual Advance T-SQL for SQL Server

1

Introduction: This lab manual is based on the SQL Server 2005 AdventureWorks sample database. Assignments will use the objects from the AdventureWorks database and a new Database to be designed in class, and the labs will use the Microsoft SQL Server management Studio as a learning platform. Each lab will feature a basic assignment and optionally a challenge assignment. Your Instructor will review each lab in class and provide example solutions to the challenge assignments. Learning SQL is a hand-on experience, you are encouraged to explore beyond these basic assignments and ask questions in class. Before you proceed beyond a specific lab, please ensure you understand the topics being explored and all your questions have been answered. Enjoy and have fun.

Lab 4: Create Database We are going to create a new database for this class, it will contain a number of Humor tables. Please right click the Databases selection and select New Database... Please create this new database with the following options: Name: HumorSystem Owner: sa Initial Size: 2 MB (must be as large as the Model database) Autogrowth: By 1 MB, restricted growth to 10 MB (data) By 10 percent, unrestricted growth (log) Collation: Latin1_General_CS_AI

Lab 4 Challenge: Delete the HumorSystem Database, and re-create it using an SQL script.

6

Lab 5: Create Table You are going to create a table within the HumorSystem database. This table will hold biographical data for a series of quotes we will store in the database. The table has the following columns: Table name: Source Contents: An autogenerated number (identity) number as primary key Stage Name (max 25 characters) not null Birth Name (max 100 characters) not null Birth Date (month name day, year) not null Birth Location (max 100 characters) not null Death Date (month name day, year) may be null Age integer may be null Death Location (max 100 characters) may be null Description (max 500 characters) Using the New Table... wizard create this table Hint: Try right clicking on a column to see what options are available

Lab 5 Challenge: Can you create a new Schema named Humor and alter the Source table so it belonged to the new schema?

7

Lab 6: Constraints For the Source table in the HumorSystem database, please alter the table to apply these changes: 1. Stage Names must be Unique.

2. A Check Constraint on the age field, the age must be positive;

3. Add a Default Constraint to the Description, that provides “A Famous Person”.

Lab 6 Challenge: Verify the constraints were created.
