 二.问答类

Database Systems Practical Answer the following questions: 1.      Let the following relational tables be given: R = (A, B, C) and S = (D, E, F) where A, B, C, D, E, and F are the attributes (columns). Write the SQL statements that will express each of the queries given below: 1.      ΠA(R) 2.      σB = 13(R) 3.      ΠA,B(R C = D S) 2.      Given relation r as: ename project dept Kasper Forecast Accounting Kasper Audit Accounting Kasper Spreadsheet Admin Mohan Forecast Accounting Mohan Audit Admin Mohan Spreadsheet Admin Lin Forecast Admin Lin Audit Admin Lin Spreadsheet Admin 3.      Given relation s as: ename dept Kasper Accounting Mohan Admin Lin Admin 4.      Provide the results of the following operations. If an operation cannot be performed, state the reasons. Do not write the equivalent SQL statements. 1.      σdept = 'Admin' AND project <> 'Audit'(r) 2.      r U s 3.      Πdept(r) - Πdept(s) 5.      Consider the following Mail Order database: CUSTOMER CId Name Address Zip 11 George 23 Main St . 15218 22 Barbara 3 Walnut St . 15217 33 Waquim 82 Straton Av. 15280 6.   PART Pno Pname UnitPrice 150 X 20.00 152 Y 33.00 153 Z 4.00 155 V 15.00 162 W 25.00 7.   ORDERS Ono CId Received Shipped 20 11 10-Dec-97 12-Dec-97 21 11 13-Feb-98 15-Feb-98 22 22 26-Feb-98 NULL 8.   INVOICE Ono Pno Qty BilledPrice 20 152 1 33.00 20 155 4 60.00 20 162 1 25.00 22 152 3 99.00 21 150 1 20.00 21 152 2 66.00 21 153 3 12.00 21 155 4 60.00 21 162 1 25.00 9.      In the table ORDERS above, specify in SQL the requirements that: 1.      Received date cannot be undefined and that 2.      the Shipped date, if it is not NULL, should be greater than the Received date. 10.  Translate in SQL the following queries. Note: The "Received" column in ORDERS table above refers to when the order is received by the system (and not when the ordered items are received by the customer). 1.      Get the part number of parts that cost between 10 and 25 dollars. 2.      For each part sold in 1998, list the total quantity sold in 1998. Sort your results in ascending order by the total billed price for each part for that year. Parts are considered sold when an order is received. The BilledPrice column in the Invoice table indicates the total price billed for that part (i.e., quantity sold multiplied by unit price minus discount, if any). 3.      Get those parts that were not sold in 1998. A part is considered sold when an order is received. 11.  Given the following schema definitions, specify in SQL2 the referential integrity constraint on the EMPLOYEE relation that will prevent an employee from being assigned to a non-existent department. 12.  create table EMPLOYEE 13.    (id      id_dom primary key deferrable, 14.     name    name_dom, 15.     salary  salary_dom, 16.     dname   dept_name_dom 17.     ); 18.    19.  create table DEPARTMENT 20.     (name   dept_name_dom primary key deferrable, 21.      mgrid  id_dom        foreign key references emp(id) deferrable, 22.      budget budget_dom 23.            );

我交的答案,很可能有错,等老帅评讲后,我再给出标准答案:

/*********************PARTI*********************/

Answer for Multiple-choice:

1 ~ 5：ABACC

6 ~10：DDADC

11~15：AABCD

16~20：ABBCD

/*********************PARTII*********************/

Answer for Practical:

1.

1)SELECT A

  FROM R

2)SELECT B

  FROM R

  WHERE B=’ 13’

3)USE Pubs

SELECT A,B FROM R INNER JOIN S

ON R.C=S.D

4.

1) ename     project        dept

  Kasper      Spreadsheet    Admin

Mohan       Spreadsheet    Admin

Lin          Forecast     Admin

Lin          Spreadsheet    Admin

2) ename     project        dept

Kasper     Forecast      Accounting

Kasper     Audit          Accounting

Kasper     Spreadsheet    Admin

Mohan      Forecast      Accounting

Mohan     Audit          Admin

Mohan     Spreadsheet    Admin

Lin          Forecast      Admin

Lin          Audit          Admin

Lin          Spreadsheet    Admin

3)这里将不会返回任何值，因为语句的意思是取出列dept中属于r但不属于s的所有值，显然不存在这样的值。

9.

1)ALTER TABLE ORDERS

ALTER COLUMN Received

   datetime NOT NULL

2)ALTER TABLE ORDERS

  CONSTRAINT Shipped1 UNIQUE(Shipped)

  CONSTRAINT Shipped2 CHECK(Shipped = “” OR Shipped > Received)

10.

1)      SELECT Pno

FROM PART

WHERE UnitPrice > 10 AND UnitPrice <25

2) SELECT Ono,Qty,BilledPrice

FROM INVOICE

WHERE Ono IN (SELECT Ono

                 FROM ORDERS

                 WHERE Received LIKE "%1998")

COMPUTE SUM(Qty)

ORDER BY BilledPrice ASC

3) SELECT Ono,Pno,Qty,BilledPrice

     FROM INVOICE

     WHERE Ono NOT IN (SELECT Ono

                         FROM ORDERS

                         WHERE Received LIKE "%1998"))
