It is due on Sunday, November 11, at 11:55 p.m. Late submissions will be penalized 20% during a 3-day grace period up until Wednesday, November 14, 11:55 p.m. After that time, no late work will be accepted. Your homework submission should be via the link found in the Homework section of the week where you got this file.
This homework will give you hands-on practice in working with SQL (Structured
Query Language.) In this homework you will create a database and populate it
using scripts provided. The database you create will then be used for various
queries/problems in this homework.
Objectives
-
Become familiar with SQL language & syntax for SELECT queries, DDL and DML
-
Become familiar with a tool of your choice for building and submitting queries (whether command mode or GUI.)
-
Successfully run the scripts necessary to create a sample database consisting of 8 tables, verify that your database is correctly built.
-
Use SQL your database to answer the assigned problems.
Pre-Processing
Step1: Download and Install PostgreSQL/PostgresAdmin
Please follow the installation guide, if you haven’t installed it

Homework #3: SQL
In this homework, if you want to use console or the Admin too, You are free to use either one. The guide is for your VM or Ubuntu system. If you have any other operating system, please download the respective installer for it.
Step2: Creating the tables
Download a Script folder from Moodle under HW3. There are 8 scripts files to create 8 tables and insert values inside these tables. Before creating these tables, you have to create on database. Please read the below instruction carefully.
Before you can create your database, you need to make sure that your instance of PostgreSQL is running.
To check your instance is running or not, Open a new terminal and type “service postgresql status”, if the status is Active then your postgreSQL is running. If the status is inactive or dead, then type “service postgresql start” and hit enter and type your system password when the window is pop-up.

Homework #3: SQL
Follow this writeup to start your postgreSQL:
https://moodle.cs.colorado.edu/pluginfile.php/112893/mod_resource/content/1/Cla ss_%20PostgreSQL%20Installation.pdf
Do the following:
-
Create a Database: create database company WITH ENCODING ‘LATIN9’ LC_COLLATE = ‘C’ LC_CTYPE=’C’ TEMPLATE=template0;
-
Open a new terminal and go to the directory where you download your script files from Moodle. Go inside this directory and use ls command and it will list out all the files. You will get below files in the folder.
-
-
categories.sql
-
-
-
employees.sql
-
-
-
orders.sql
-
-
-
order_details.sql
-
-
-
customers.sql
-
-
-
products.sql
-
-
-
suppliers.sql
-
-
-
shipper.sql
-
-
Import all the tables from your SQL files inside your database named “company”.
-
-
To import, please type in your terminal sudo su postgres and it will ask your system password and then type
-
psql company<categories.sql
Do the same thing for the rest of the sql files.
Note: If you get any error while importing the files regarding unsupported character set or UTF8, then please go to /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/
“9.5” is my postgresql version, likewise you may have different version. So, please follow the version and find postgresql.conf file. First, check that the file is writeable format or not. If not, then convert it into writeable format which you learned in your script Lab class.

Homework #3: SQL
Go inside this file and search for “client_encoding” and comment it out if it’s not and restart your postgres server which is given in your “Creating the table” section. Drop the database “company” and start from Step 1.
The company database consists of 8 tables. The HW3_scripts folder contains 9 script files, one for creating each table, and one for generating this one. Please run psql company<verify.sql likewise you run your script files. It will show you below results:
Note: Please make sure you are getting the same count of rows as above pictures. If you are not getting then drop the table and insert it. If you are getting the errors while inserting the values then follow the guide patiently.
Preparing Your Homework Submission

Use the link found in the Homework Assignment section in the Moodle site to submit your work for grading. If you are doing PAIR PROGRAMMING on this assignment, please be sure to identify the name of your programming partner on your submission. You must EACH submit
your own results document for this homework.
You must turn in BOTH your SQL and your ANSWER SET (One file with only SQL queries. The other with queries and answer set). Save your SQL Query files as HW3.sql and change permissions to make it executable.
