    Module 9: Manually Creating a Table and Adding Data

    Background
    Until now you have been working with a single table to answer questions. The database and
    table structure were defined for you.

    Now you are going to learn how to modify the structure of the database by adding another table
    to store specific data about Providers.

    Preparation
    Complete the SQL homework tutorials for this week before attempting this assignment.

    Do the following exercises


    1. Start MySQL Workbench
    a. You should see a list of MySQL Connections similar to the image below.

    Notes:
    1. Your button may say “Local instance” instead of “primary”. That’s fine.
    2. The numbers on your button may be different; that’s fine too.
    3. If your primary button has disappeared, watch the video in Canvas that shows
    how to recreate it. The link is in Module 4 on the M4: SQL Frequently Asked
    Questions page.

    b. Click the Primary button


    c. The SQL window will open. Type your statements in the middle empty area, and then
    click the lightning bolt to run them.

    Rev.3/08/17 Page 1 of 5
    2. If your Assignment schema (lower left corner) is not bolded, double-click it to make it
    active (bold).
    3. Create a table for provider data using SQL

    The columns you need are:


    DrIDNumber
    DrFirstName
    DrLastName
    DrSpecialty
    DrPhone

     Name your table Providers


     Set the DrIDNumber to be integer, 20 digits long, and as the primary key
     Set all the other columns to be varchar and 50 characters.

    To run your command, highlight the line you typed and then click the yellow lightning
    bolt on the toolbar.

    Paste your SQL statement here:

    4. Check your database structure using SQL


    Paste your SQL statement here:

    Tip: you can explore the Columns, Keys, and DDL tabs to compare the query you entered
    earlier with the database structure that the query created.

    Add some providers into your Providers table
    Now that you have a Providers table, you need to put some physicians and nurses into it. Note
    that there are multiple ways to get data into a database table; this way will show you how to
    enter a few records manually.

    5. Enter the following provider records into your Providers table:

    DrIDNumber DrFirstName DrLastName DrSpecialty DrPhone


    75623 Loren Morgan Nephrology 713-555-3465
    24852 Frank Wagoner Obstetrics 713-555-3572
    23475 Mary Walkington Dermatology 713-555-3274

    Paste your SQL statement(s) here:

    Note: Your results pane will be empty; this is because it is inserting data into the table, not
    displaying the results of a SELECT query. Once you run a SELECT, you’ll see the results panel as
    normal.

    6. Display all the information on your Providers from your Providers table:

    Paste your SQL statement here:

    Tip: If you receive an error code 1146, check the spelling and case of your Providers
    table.

    Rev.3/08/17 Page 3 of 5
    7. Take a screen shot of your displayed provider records along with the syntax.
    a. On the VirtualBox menu bar, click View Take Screenshot
    b. In Save As: enter yourlastname_yourfirstname_m9
    c. In Where: choose your Desktop.
    d. Click Save.

    e. This is an example of what to turn in (I have masked the commands).


    Note: Blurry images or photographs of the screen such as with a cellphone or camera
    will earn a grade of 0 (zero).

    Make sure your display shows all three panels: the command panel at the top, the
    output in the middle, and the messages at the bottom. You won’t be able to show
    all the SQL statements and that is OK – just make sure that the three provider
    records show completely.

    Rev.3/08/17 Page 4 of 5
    8. Name your file yourlastname_yourfirstname_m9 and turn in the screen shot to the
    assignment in Canvas. You do not need to turn in the SQL statements, just the screenshot
    of the displayed provider records in your database.

    Summary of what you did in this assignment


    Entering a few records like this works, but it is tedious and time-consuming. What do you do
    if you have thousands or millions of records, like basic patient information? That’s what
    you’ll see next week.
