SCENARIO
The “Amazon Services” is a retail company with department stores in many major US cities.
The company has a large number of employees and sells a varied line of products. To
manage all information about the company structure and products, a database system is
used. The company consists of a number of stores that contain a number of departments. The
company has a number of employees, who (among other things) sell items at the different
stores. Sales are registered in the sale and debit tables. The sale and debit tables may be a bit
tricky to understand. You can view a row in the debit table as representing the receipt you
get when you pay for your items, while a row in the sale table represents a row on such a
receipt.

The company has contracts with various suppliers, who supply items for sale and also parts
for the company’s computer equipment. Deliveries of computer parts are registered in the
supply table. The current state of the company database can be seen in the ER diagram given
in Appendix A and the table definitions and contents in the appendixes B and C.

All problems mentioned below are related to the aforementioned scenario:


Sr. No. Implementation using SQL Query
1. Create, Alter and Drop operation on table Employees, Departments, Sales, Debit, Orders,
Computer_parts.
2. List all employees, i.e. all tuples in the EMPLOYEE relation.

3. List the name of all departments, i.e. the NAME attribute for all tuples in the DEPT relation.

4. Which employees have a salary between 10000 and 12000 (inclusive)?

5. Perform Number and Aggregate functions on salary using specific conditions WHERE.
6. Display current Date for the sales and debit tables.
7. Retrieve all items sold in the department 49 with their name, price, and price increased
by10%.
8. Which employees have a family name starting with “S”? Retrieve their names, numbers and
salaries.

9. What are the names and weights of all parts delivered by a supplier called “DEC”?

10. Formulate this query using a subquery in the where-clause.


11. Retrieve the name and the color of all parts that are heavier than a black tape drive.
12. Formulate this query using a subquery in the where-clause. (The SQL query should not
contain the weight as a constant.)
13. Retrieve the first name of all employees without a subquery using ORDER BY and HAVING
clause for any condition.
14. What is the average salary of all the employees whose manager is the employee with number
199?
15. For each supplier retrieve its name and the number of different items it supplies.

16. Merge the two tables Suppliers and Departments using different JOIN operations for different
conditions.
17. For each supplier in Massachusetts (“Mass”) retrieve the total weight of all the parts delivered
by the supplier.
18. Insert data about a new supplier on your choice in the supplier table. Note that the city column
is a foreign key to the city table, i.e. the supplier city must already exist or be inserted in
advance to the city table.
19. All departments in store number 8 showed good sales figures last year! Give the managers of
these departments 5% raise of their salaries. Retrieve the information about these managers by
their first names.
20. Perform create, insert and delete operations on View of table Employees.
