POS 410 Week 2 Learning Team: Project Plan

Create the Team's Project Plan by creating a Word document that outlines the tasks to
be completed for each week. Team members need to volunteer for tasks, and I suggest
putting names by each task so that it's clear for the team who is responsible for what
each week. Each team member is required to contribute to the team project deliverables
in a meaningful way in order to get invididual credit for the team project.
Suggested tasks for week one:
Create the Team Database and name it TeamNameChartOfAccounts.
Create a table named Accounts with the following columns:
o Account No.
o Account Type
o Short Description
o Long Description
o Balance
Submit the Project Plan for feedback and evaluation to the Assignment Files tab.

*** ATTENTION! ***
USE THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT TEMPLATE WHEN YOU TURN IN YOUR
ASSIGNMENT

Create a SQL Server Database.

Create the following two tables using the following fields:

(Note: Supply the SQL Server data types when creating the tables. Apply a primary key
to each table.)

Employee

 Social_Security_Number
Last_Name
First_Name
Address
City
State
Zip_Code
Telephone_Area_Code
Telephone_Number
Email_Address
Job_Title_Code
Hire_Date
Salary

Job_title
Job_Title_Code
Job_Title
Exempt (holds exempt status which is either 1 or 0)
Minimum_Salary
Maximum_Salary
Using the SQL INSERT statement:

o Enter ten records into the employee table.

o Enter five records into the job_title table.

Include all SQL statements (i.e create, insert, etc used to complete each task of your
assignment. Do not include screenshots - rather copy/paste the SQL scripts in the Word

POS 410 Week 3 Learning Team Progress Report

Submit a team progress report to your instructor explaining what your team accomplished
during the week and any challenges your team faced.

POS 410 Week 3 Lab Two

SQL Lab 2

Due Week 3 Day 7

Post a Microsoft Word document including these statements and named "Lastname - Lab
2.doc". (change Lastname to your last name)
*** ATTENTION! ***
USE THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT TEMPLATE WHEN YOU TURN IN YOUR
ASSIGNMENT

Using the database and tables from Lab One, do the following:
Insert ten more records into each table. Verify your inserts by selecting all rows from
each table.
Write SQL queries using BETWEEN, LIKE and UNION as follows:
1. Write a SQL query that joins two tables in the example database and uses BETWEEN
to restrict record selection. (Use salaries to restrict the data.)
2. Write a SQL query that joins two tables in the example database and uses BETWEEN
to restrict record selection. (Use hire dates to restrict the data.)
3. Write a SQL query that joins two tables in the example database and uses LIKE to
restrict record selection. (Use telephone area codes to restrict data.)
4. Write a SQL query that joins two tables in the example database and uses LIKE to
restrict record selection. (Use zip codes to restrict data.)
5. Write a SQL query that uses UNION of the two tables using at least one column from
each table.
Write queries using the SQL GROUP statement to produce the requested reports as
described below. In general, to make grouping meaningful, a function such as COUNT or
SUM is used. In the below tasks, COUNT(*) is the desired function to include in your
SELECT statement along with the requested fields.
6. Display total number of employees for each job title. Columns should include Job_Title
and 'Total Employees'. (Hint: use the "AS clause" to rename a column in the result set.)
7. Display total number of employees for each salary. Columns should include Salary
and 'Total Employees'.
8. Display total number of employees for each salary within each job title. Columns
should include Job Title, Salary, and 'Total Employees'.
9. Display total number of employees for each salary grouped by exempt status.
Columns should include Exempt, Salary, and 'Total Employees'.
Include all SQL statements (i.e create, insert, etc) used to complete each task of your
assignment. Do not include screenshots, rather include the SQL scripts in the Word

document. Label each script with the number of the query and use the order in which
each query is listed in the assignment.

POS 410 Week 5 Learning Team: SQL Account Database Project

Complete and submit work on Service Request SR-kf-009, "SQL Accounting Database."
Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment.
Below is a quick summary of the items that should be included in your learning team
assignment according to the syllabus. I've also included the rubric I use to grade the
project and a sample of what the report might look like. I've put a few additional notes on
items 3 thru 5 in blue below, as those relate to queries that need to be provided.
1. Summary of your team's observations of the "Charts of Accounts" data including
recommendations on normalizing the data as well as rationale for any keys and indexes
chosen. Breaking the data into more than one table is not required for this report,
however your submission should include recommendations about how the data could be
stored more effectively for queries outside of the report defined in SR-kf-009. Pay close
attention to the data itself and consider how it should be stored versus how it's stored in
the spreadsheet today.
2. Database diagram
3. SQL statements used for creating database table(s) and any related keys and/or
indexes used. These will be your create table statements for the tables you have
chosen.
4. SQL statements used to load test data This could be a bulk insert statement, a
series of manual INSERT statements, or some screenshots of how you used SQL Server
Integration Services (SSIS) to import the data. The method you use is up to your team.
5. SQL statement(s) used to query data for report Your team has some flexibility in
this area. In some cases, I have teams that use SQL Server Reporting Services to

produce the report, others use a single query, and still others use multiple queries. I
would estimate that roughly half of the teams I have taught use more than one query. In
all cases, I've seen a lot of variances in how teams choose to implement the report. Let
me provide some suggestions, particularly if you choose to accomplish with one query,
which is definitely possible. First, research the substring or left functions. Either of these
can help you pull the first two digits of the account number as described in the
requirement. If you GROUP BY the first two digits, that is one way of handling the "break
based on the first two digits" requirement mentioned. Secondly, research the COMPUTE
function. You can use this in conjunction with SUM to create your subtotals and total.
6. Report results
Example of using the ROLLUP and SUM functions for subtotals and a grand total:

SELECT Country, State, SUM(order total)

FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
GROUP BY Country, State
WITH ROLLUP
