This is a graded discussion: 40 points possible

due Nov 20

Unit 5: Team Problem Solving Activity - Unit 5 Group 3
From CIS622

Introduction
A fluent professional in this field can easily recognize
concepts across different coding languages. The python
pandas library works a lot like SQL, which you are building a
proficiency in. For this activity, you will practice your SQL
and then research why someone might used python over
SQL for a similar task. 

Directions
1. As a group build the code below in SQL: 
1. Create two new tables that are related with a primary
and foreign key.
2. Add data to both tables. 
3. Join the two tables. 
4. Two additional actions of your groups choosing. 

2. You can do the task above in python as well. Research

why you would chose python over SQL. What
advantages does python provide that SQL does not?

Each team is randomly assigned a leader. The leader is

responsible for compiling the final post with help from the
team (aka, don't leave the leader to do all the work. How you
divide the work is up to your team). If a leader is failing to
perform their duties, please work amongst yourself to
appoint a new leader. 

Due Dates
Participate in the discussion at least three different days

Hi Team, 

This week we are tasked to code in SQL. We need to create tables and that are mapped with
foreign and primary keys. So on what data we can create the tables. Does anyone have
anything specific in mind or we can just go with random data. In my view since it is only two
tables we need to embed all the information in those two. So what about US states and
population in each state?

Pavankalyan,

I don’t know what Lauren means by “additional actions of our choosing”, but to do this I
have an idea.  Why not do three tables: one with our names and an ID, an event table that
is event ID and a date we had our favorite meal and the ID of what we had, then a third
table which is a list of our favorite meals. And an ID for each.  We set up our relationships
and then build 2 queries: the most common meal we’ve eaten and meals we’ve not tried.
 So my dataset could be

tblPerson: 1, Michael, Brown

11/18/22, 8:39 AM Topic: Unit 5: Team Problem Solving Activity - Unit 5 Group 3

tblEvent: 1, 11/4/2022, 2
tblMeal: 2, Macaroni and Cheese

If you all give me a list of 5 foods each and 2 dates, I will code the SQL and post the
scripts here for your review.

Pavankalyan, please have a look at the requirements and let me know what you think of
my take.

Does this work for everyone?

Hi Brown, 

I  think the idea of two additional actions can be adding of more tables as well but not
sure. 

The idea which you have proposed is good. So in our tables we are going to have
primary keys for all tables such as person_id, event_id, and meal_id. Am I correct?

List of foods

tblPerson: 1, Pavan

tblEvent: 1, 11/11/2022, 3

tblMeal: 4, Pista

Hi Team , 

Can you please have a look on it

Ravi,

I wouldn't use the DECIMAL field type if I could use FLOAT.  What happens if the price for
an item is $1000?  Also, if you default values to NULL, that means you can have an entry
with a PK but no other data.  Is that something you would allow>

Otherwise, the script is sound.

Michael

Hi Michael ,

Decimal Is preferable in this case since the price is represented in dollars and cents.

In situation whereby the price is $1000,

We have made our database in a way that the output will be rendered as $1000.00

Thanks

So, starting on the scripts - here is the one for our own people

    "FirstName" character varying(20)[] COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,

    "LastName" character varying(40)[] COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,

    CONSTRAINT "Person_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("PersonID")

TABLESPACE pg_default;

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public."Person"

    OWNER to postgres;

COMMENT ON TABLE public."Person"

    IS 'Contains user information';

This is the SQL pgAdmin generates.  I will post the others as I write them.

A final word on create scripts: if creating in pgAdmin's GUI, make sure you do not
select a VARCHAR field with brackets.  That creates an array field.

To correct, the script would look something like this

https://canvas.park.edu/groups/26889/discussion_topics/1512468 8/13
11/18/22, 8:39 AM Topic: Unit 5: Team Problem Solving Activity - Unit 5 Group 3

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public."Person" DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS

"FirstName";

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public."Person" DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS

"LastName";

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public."Person"

    ADD COLUMN "FirstName" character varying(20) NOT NULL;

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public."Person"

    ADD COLUMN "LastName" character varying(40) NOT NULL;

I will be back later with insert statements.  At this point, I have tables coded and
"joined", in that we've created foreign keys that bind tables together.  When we
get to writing queries, we're going to look at JOIN statements in the script.

Is this table we will use to store a person's information with the primary key as primary_id?
I have a few doubts about what COLLATE and TABLESPACE represent in the code. I am
new to SQL pgAdmin so never mind asking you this.

It is, and if I were using a terminal, I wouldn't use COLLATE or TABLESPACE.  It

might have something to do with the array it wanted me to do.  It's moot now - I

Hello Team

Post 1

Here I have created two tables using the sql. Here the tables are realted to the food ordering
system. Here I have connected both tables using customer_ID. We can see that in customer
table it is Primary key and in transaction table it is foregin key.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[customer](

            [cust_ID] [int] NOT NULL,

            [name] [varchar](50) NULL,

            [contact_num] [int] NULL,

            [address] [varchar](500) NULL,

 CONSTRAINT [PK_customer] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

            [cust_ID] ASC

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY =

OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON,
OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]

) ON [PRIMARY]

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Transaction](

            [order_ID] [int] NOT NULL,

            [cust_ID] [int] NOT NULL,

            [date] [date] NULL,

            [food_ID] [int] NULL,

            [supply_ID] [int] NULL,

11/18/22, 8:39 AM Topic: Unit 5: Team Problem Solving Activity - Unit 5 Group 3

 CONSTRAINT [PK_Transaction] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY =

OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON,
OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]

) ON [PRIMARY]

Adding relationship between tables can be done using ALTER command.

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[customer]  WITH CHECK ADD  CONSTRAINT [FK_customer_customer]

FOREIGN KEY([cust_ID])

REFERENCES [dbo].[customer] ([cust_ID])

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[customer]  WITH CHECK ADD  CONSTRAINT

[FK_customer_customer1] FOREIGN KEY([cust_ID])

REFERENCES [dbo].[customer] ([cust_ID])

Everyone,

We now have three people working towards SQL.  Can we stick to what I am putting out
there?  This way, when we go to post our results Sunday, we have only one database to talk
about.

If someone is looking to code the Python version of what I am coding in SQL, or wants to take
the data set and put it into a csv file for load, I could use help there.  

Ravi/Jayasree, is this something the two of you can work on?
