Scenario: ABC College wants to develop a University Management System (UMS) to store information on
students who join their college. The database should contain
 Student’s personal information as well as student’s academic details.
 It should store information on subjects taught at the university in various departments.
 It should also store marks obtained by each student in each semester subject wise as well as the
GPA for each semester.
GPA is a rating calculated in a scale of ten considering the individual subject marks obtained and subjects
weightage % in a semester.

Now it is time to develop the required table structure, but the constraint from client is that all queries must
be written using only ANSI SQL Syntax.

Exercise1: Understand how to create Tables

Problem Statement:

Using the following and identify the tables and columns needed for University Management System.

 Student information should have registration_number, name, branch, contact #, DOB, Date of
joining, Address, Email id.
 Information on subjects like subject code, subject name and weightage for calculating GPA.
 Student’s marks scored in each subject, semester wise.
 Finally overall result of the student comprising GPA scored for a semester, scholarship eligibility.
Associates should use the above case and identify the tables and columns for building the UMS system.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The number of subjects varies from semester to semester and the university also
changes the number of subjects or swaps the subjects in a particular semester. The database table
design should be in such a way that any new subject additions or subject removal should not impact the
database design that is I should not add columns or alter tables. The design should be flexible for
changes.

Exercise2: Use appropriate DDL and DML statements

Problem Statement:
Problem # 1 Creating Tables: Create following tables using My SQL Client and DDL’s.

 Guided Practice Exercises – SQL

i. Create Student_Info_<employee_id> table – This table is used for storing the student personal
information.
a. Reg_Number –Varchar
b. Student_Name - Varchar(30)
c. Branch – Varchar
d. Contact_Number – Varchar
e. Date_of_Birth-Date,
f. Date_of_Joining-Date
g. Address-Varchar(250)
h. Email_id-Varchar(250)

ii. Create Subject_Master_<employee_id> table – This table is used for storing the subjects’
information which are delivered in the university.
a. Subject_Code--varchar2(10)
b. Subject_Name- Varchar,
c. Weightage- Number(3),

iii. Create Student_Marks_<employee_id>table -- This table holds the marks obtained by a student
in a particular subject in a semester. The marks are stored as records in this table. For example if
a student S1 scores 50% in networks and 70% in microprocessor in semester 4. The table will
have two records
Reg Number Subject Code Semester Marks

S1 NWS 4 50

S1 MIC 4 70

Any new subject addition does not need a change in table design all it needs a new subject code and a
new row in this table.

a. Reg_Number - Varchar
b. Subject_Code - varchar2(10)
c. Semester-Number(3)
d. Marks-Number (3)

iv. Create Student_Result_<employee_id> table -- For storing the student results.

a. Reg_Number-Varchar
b. Semester-Number(3)
c. GPA-Number (5,3)
d. Is_Eligible_Scholarship char(3)

Deliverables Expected:
All Tables creation as per details mentioned above

Exercise3: Loading tables using DML:

NOTE: Use the data mentioned in Appendix1 section to load the tables.

Functions

Case Study Scenario:

This case study is to develop a Course Management System (CMS) for ABC University. The following are
the two use cases for which the database needs to be designed.

Add Course:

To add the course details into the course management system.

Retrieve Course:

Retrieve the courses stored in the system and display it.

The courses to be added will have the following attributes: Course Code, Course Name, Number of
participants, Course Description, Course Duration, Course start date, and Course Type.

Pre-requisite: Use the Course_Info and Course_Fees table.

Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as null.

Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as 300 and 175.

 Guided Practice Exercises – SQL

Exercise1: Write a query which will display the total number of records in Course_Info table.

Exercise2: Develop a query which will gives the sum of all base fees of all courses in the

Course_Fees table.

Pre-requisite: We will use the Course_Info and Course_Fees tables for doing this lend a hand. Add a
new column Infra_Fees in course_fees with type number(5,3). For all the records in update the
Infra_Fees with some values say 45.751, 43.453 etc.

Hints:

Use joins wherever needed

Exercise3: Develop a query which will display the course name and course Infra fees of all the course.
The infra fee should be rounded to one decimal point.

Exercise4: Develop a query which will list all the course code and course names in Course_Info table
where in the first letter should be capital letter.

Exercise5: Develop a query which will display all the Course Name in upper case.

Exercise6: Develop a query which will display all the characters between 1 and 3 of the Course
Description column for all the courses in the Course_Info table.

Pre-requisite:

Use the Course_Info and Course_Fees table.

• Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as null.

• Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as 300 and 175.

• Insert 3 records in course_info table each course with course type CLR,EL, OF

Pre-requisite: Let us use the Student_Info and Course_Fees table.

Exercise7:

Write a query which will convert Student_Info's Student_Id to Number and add 100000 and display it for
all the students in the Student_Info table.

Exercise8:

Write a query which will convert Base_Fees into Varchar from the Course_Fees table.

And display in the following format

'The Base Fees Amount for the course name’ <Course Name>’ is ’<Base Fees>
