Database Programming with SQL
12-1: INSERT Statements Practice Activities Objectives
• Give examples of why it is important to be able to alter the data in a database
• Construct and execute INSERT statements that insert a single row using a VALUES clause
• Construct and execute INSERT statements that use special values, null values, and date values
• Construct and execute INSERT statements that copy rows from one table to another using a subquery
Vocabulary
Identify the vocabulary word for each definition below.
USER
|
Someone doing “real work” with the computer, using it as a means rather than an end
|
Transaction
|
Consists of a collection of DML statements that form a logical unit of work.
|
Explicit
|
Fully and clearly expressed; leaving nothing implied
|
INSERT INTO
|
Adds a new row to a table
|
Try It / Solve It
Students should execute DESC tablename before doing INSERT to view the data types for each column. VARCHAR2 data-type entries need single quotation marks in the VALUES statement.
1. Give two examples of why it is important to be able to alter the data in a database.
Students on a school need to update grades
Employee of a company is getting a raise
2. DJs on Demand just purchased four new CDs. Use an explicit INSERT statement to add each CD to the copy_d_cds table. After completing the entries, execute a SELECT * statement to verify your work.

NOTE: Copy tables in this section do not exist
If any change is not possible, give an explanation as to why it is not possible.
1. Monique Tuttle, the manager of Global Fast Foods, sent a memo requesting an immediate change in prices. The price for a strawberry shake will be raised from $3.59 to $3.75, and the price for fries will increase to $1.20. Make these changes to the copy_f_food_items table.
UPDATE copy_f_food_items SET PRICE = '3.75' WHERE FOOD_ITEM_NUMBER = 93;
UPDATE copy_f_food_items SET PRICE = '1.20' WHERE FOOD_ITEM_NUMBER = 90;
2. Bob Miller and Sue Doe have been outstanding employees at Global Fast Foods. Management has decided to reward them by increasing their overtime pay. Bob Miller will receive an additional $0.75 per hour and Sue Doe will receive an additional $0.85 per
2
hour. Update the copy_f_staffs table to show these new values. (Note: Bob Miller currently doesn’t get overtime pay. What function do you need to use to convert a null value to 0?)
3. Add the orders shown to the Global Fast Foods copy_f_orders table:
INSERT INTO copy_f_orders VALUES (5680, '12-Jun-2004', 159.78, 145, 9);
INSERT INTO copy_f_orders VALUES (5691, '23-Sep-2004', 145.98, 225, 12);

5. Sue Doe has been an outstanding Global Foods staff member and has been given a salary raise. She will now be paid the same as Bob Miller. Update her record in copy_f_staffs.
update copy_f_staffs set salary = (select salary from copy_f_staffs where id = 9) where id = 12;
6. Global Fast Foods is expanding their staff. The manager, Monique Tuttle, has hired Kai Kim. Not all information is available at this time, but add the information shown here.
INSERT INTO copy_f_staffs VALUES (25, 'Kai', 'Kim', '03-Nov-1988', 6.75, '', '', 'Order Taker', '', '', '');

7. Now that all the information is available for Kai Kim, update his Global Fast Foods record to include the following: Kai will have the same manager as Sue Doe. He does not qualify for overtime. Leave the values for training, manager budget, and manager target as null.
update copy_f_staffs set MANAGER_ID = (select MANAGER_ID from copy_f_staffs where id = 12) where id = 25
8. Execute the following SQL statement. Record your results.
DELETE from departments
WHERE department_id = 60;
9. Kim Kai has decided to go back to college and does not have the time to work and go to school. Delete him from the Global Fast Foods staff. Verify that the change was made.
DELETE from copy_f_staffs
WHERE id = 25;
10. Create a copy of the employees table and call it lesson7_emp;
Once this table exists, write a correlated delete statement that will delete any employees from the lesson7_employees table that also exist in the emp_history table.

12-3: DEFAULT Values, MERGE, and Multi-Table Inserts Practice Activities
Objectives
• Understand when to specify a DEFAULT value
• Construct and execute a MERGE statement
• Construct and execute DML statements using SUBQUERIES
• Construct and execute multi-table inserts

1. When would you want a DEFAULT value?
When data is not provided for the row
2.
Currently, the Global Foods F_PROMOTIONAL_MENUS table START_DATE column does not have SYSDATE set as DEFAULT. Your manager has decided she would like to be able to set the starting date of promotions to the current day for some entries. This will require three steps:
Currently, the Global Foods F_PROMOTIONAL_MENUS table START_DATE column does not have SYSDATE set as DEFAULT. Your manager has decided she would like to be able to set the starting date of promotions to the current day for some entries. This will require three steps:
a. In your schema, Make a copy of the Global Foods F_PROMOTIONAL_MENUS table using the following SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE copy_f_promotional_menus
AS (SELECT * FROM f_promotional_menus)
b. Alter the current START_DATE column attributes using:
ALTER TABLE copy_f_promotional_menus
MODIFY(start_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE)
c. INSERT the new information and check to verify the results.
INSERT a new row into the copy_f_promotional_menus table for the manager’s new promotion. The promotion code is 120. The name of the promotion is ‘New Customer.’ Enter DEFAULT for the start date and '01-JUN-2005' for the ending date. The giveaway is a 10% discount coupon. What was the correct syntax used?
3. Allison Plumb, the event planning manager for DJs on Demand, has just given you the following list of CDs she acquired from a company going out of business. She wants a new updated list of CDs in inventory in an hour, but she doesn’t want the original D_CDS table changed. Prepare an updated inventory list just for her.
a. Assign new cd_numbers to each new CD acquired.
b. Create a copy of the D_CDS table called manager_copy_d_cds. What was the correct syntax used?
create table manager_copy_d_cds as(select * from d_cds)
c. INSERT into the manager_copy_d_cds table each new CD title using an INSERT statement. Make up one example or use this data: 20, 'Hello World Here I Am', 'Middle Earth Records', '1998' What was the correct syntax used?
insert into manager_copy_d_cds values (20, 'Hello World Here I Am', 'Middle Earth Records', '1998')
d. Use a merge statement to add to the manager_copy_d_cds table, the CDs from the original table. If there is a match, update the title and year. If not, insert the data from the original table. What was the correct syntax used?
MERGE INTO COPY_D_CDS c USING MANAGER_COPY_D_CDS m
ON (c.CD_NUMBER = m.CD_NUMBER)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
SET
c.TITLE = m.TITLE,
c.YEAR = m.YEAR
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT
VALUES (m.CD_NUMBER, m.TITLE, m.PRODUCER, m.YEAR);
4. Run the following 3 statements to create 3 new tables for use in a Multi-table insert statement. All 3 tables should be empty on creation, hence the WHERE 1=2 condition in the WHERE clause.
CREATE TABLE sal_history (employee_id, hire_date, salary)
AS SELECT employee_id, hire_date, salary
FROM employees WHERE 1=2;
CREATE TABLE mgr_history (employee_id, manager_id, salary)
AS SELECT employee_id, manager_id, salary
FROM employees
WHERE 1=2;
CREATE TABLE special_sal (employee_id, salary)
AS SELECT employee_id, salary
FROM employees WHERE 1=2;
Once the tables exist in your account, write a Multi-Table insert statement to first select the employee_id, hire_date, salary, and manager_id of all employees. If the salary is more than 20000 insert the employee_id and salary into the special_sal table. Insert the details of employee_id, hire_date, and salary into the sal_history table. Insert the employee_id, manager_id, and salary into the mgr_history table.
You should get a message back saying 39 rows were inserted. Verify you get this message and verify you have the following number of rows in each table:
3
Sal_history: 19 rows
Mgr_history: 19 rows
Special_sal: 1
