Lesson 1 - Multiple-Row Subqueries

Lesson 1 - Multiple-Row Subqueries

Lesson Preparation

Review Study Guide requirements with students. Have students complete the study guides as part of the Try It / Solve It portion of the content.

What to Watch For Students will have difficulty knowing how to break down a database request into the outer and inner query statements. Help them identify what information is needed before the outer query can execute. Finding this unknown information is the function of the inner query. Look for the keywords in the problem, such as greater than, in, less than all, equal to any. The keywords will be the operators for the outer query. These keywords can help divide the problem into the two queries.

Connections Having to find information before something else can be accomplished should be familiar to students. Relate subqueries to data modeling. How could students have designed database tables without knowing the entities, attributes, and relationships used to define the database? In fact, nothing can be done before knowing what the business needs are. Meeting with clients, interviewing key people, and examining business documents are all part of the process to find out what businesses do and what information is critical to know to build a database.



Ask students, as data modelers, if they think that they could encounter a business that really isn't clear on what its business needs are? Possible answer: Whether selling tires or designing software, most businesses are good at the business they do. Knowing how to create an ERD or build a database is probably not something that most businesses have the time, expertise, or resources to accomplish. How far back do you have to go to find the information needed to solve a problem? Possible answer: As a data modeler, it is your job to model the information needs of the business. The more information you have about the business, the more accurately it could be modeled. However, usually time and resources limit an endless search. Somewhere in between is the compromise that becomes the database.

Explain the graphic. Ask students to state what =ALL , < ALL and <> ALL would return in the example shown in the graphic. =ALL The outer query would only return those titles that had years = ALL. In this case, no data is found. There is no entry with "The Music Man" producer, one year 2000 and the other 2001. <ALL The outer query would only return those titles that had years less than all the years from "The Music Man" producer. <>ALL The outer query would only return those titles that did not have any of the years returned by the subquery from "The Music Man" producer.

Deconstruct the two almost identical queries for practice. Help students work through what happens in each type of subquery. Answer: The single-row subquery inner query found the lowest salary in department 50 (2500). The outer query then selected all the departments that had their lowest salary greater than that from department 50. The multiple-row inner query also selected the department 50 salary of 2500. No other department had a lowest salary the same as department 50.

Lesson 4 - INSERT Statement

Lesson 4 - INSERT Statement

Lesson Preparation

This section begins the SQL syntax commonly referred to as data manipulation language (DML). Before beginning the section, it would be beneficial for students to do a DESCRIBE tablename for each table in the DJs on Demand and Global Fast Foods databases. Even though data may appear to be a number value in a row, it may be stored as CHAR or VARCHAR2 and require single quotation marks in the DML statements. This may eliminate problems that students can encounter, such as “it doesn't run!“

What to Watch For Students will try to insert values into a table without checking the data types or null value requirements. Discourage frivolous data! Use student names to generate interest.



Connections Extension: Students can begin creating an address-book table of their family, relatives, and friends. The table would be useful for addressing graduation announcements, holiday cards, birthdays, or party invitations. Use the CREATE TABLE format example shown. Don't worry about null values or primary keys. The idea is to create a table and use the INSERT statement to populate it. CREATE TABLE ADDRESS_BOOK ( first_name VARCHAR2(15), last_name VARCHAR2(15), street_address VARCHAR2(20), city VARCHAR2(15), state VARCHAR2(15), country VARCHAR2(15), zip_postal_code VARCHAR2(15), phone_number VARCHAR2(15), email VARCHAR2(20), birthday DATE) ;

Students will be excited about being able to make changes to the databases. Let them know that, if they alter or delete tables in their schema, they will be responsible for restoring them. Help them start thinking like real DBAs. To discourage students from creating frivolous examples, give them the specific data provided in the practice problems for each example. This will make checking for understanding easier. To keep their schema tables in their original state, have students make a copy of each table. Use the following statement to accomplish this task. Name each table copy_tablename. Students should use the copy tables for the DML practices in the following lessons. The table copies do not inherit the associated primary- to foreign-key integrity rules (relationship constraints) of the original tables. The column data types, however, are inherited in the copied tables. Using copies of the original tables will eliminate having to deal with errors when trying to enter foreign-key values before primary keys are established or deleting primary keys when foreign keys exist. In subsequent sections, the constraints will be added to the copy tables. CREATE TABLE copy_employees AS (SELECT * FROM employees); To verify and view the copy_tablename table, use the following SELECT statement: SELECT * FROM copy_employees;

Begin this lesson with a review question. Why do we use ANY and ALL with subqueries? Answer: When the inner query is expected to return more than one row, IN, ANY, and ALL are used in the WHERE clause of the outer query. The statement WHERE id = multiple values doesn't make sense: ID can be equal to only one value. If multiple values are expected from the inner query, then IN, ANY, and ALL are appropriate.

Remind students that if they are unsure about the data type of a column, they can do a DESCRIBE tablename. This is important because number values should not be enclosed in single quotes. Implicit conversion may take place for numeric values assigned to NUMBER data type columns if single quotes are included. For example, although the literal string '10' has data type CHAR, Oracle automatically converts it to the NUMBER data type if it appears in a numeric expression. This conversion may not be what you wanted. You may want 10 to remain a CHAR data type.

Lesson 5 - Updating Column Values and Deleting Rows

Lesson 5 - Updating Column Values and Deleting Rows

Lesson Preparation

Any time you have extra time in class, have students work on the self-test software questions in the section called "Manipulating Data." Remind students to use the copy tables for the following practices.

What to Watch For Differentiating between each of the DML statements that use subqueries to make database changes can be challenging. Do the practice problems and identify which type of subquery is needed: - Subquery to insert rows - Subquery in place of a table name - Subquery to copy rows from another table - Subquery to update rows based on another table - Subquery to delete rows based on another table



Connections Students can continue adding, updating, and deleting entries in their address-book table. Ask them to put you in as a teacher with your school address. Don't give all your information at one time. Students can do UPDATE statements as you add information.

Students are using copies of the original database tables. The foreign-key and primary-key integrity constraints were not carried over when the copies were made. Discuss what would occur in tables where the constraints were established. If the primary/foreign-key constraints were carried over, a value in a foreign-key column could not be inserted into a table if a corresponding primary-key value did not exist. Conversely, a primary-key value could not be deleted if foreign-key dependencies existed (except for foreign keys defined with ON DELETE CASCADE). Ask students why they think a primary-key value can't be deleted if foreign-key values are present. It would violate referential integrity. In Section 10, students will add primary and foreign-key constraints to the copied tables. At that point, they will do INSERT and DELETE statements that will have to take primary and foreign-key constraints into consideration. This section's objective is for students to be able to execute UPDATE and DELETE statements only.

Step through the purpose of the subquery. The UPDATE statement is designed to change the salary and staff type of an employee (ID = 12) to the same information as another employee (ID = 9). The subquery retrieves the "other employee" information first, which is then used in the UPDATE and SET clauses. Ask students to write a query for the graphic.
