reports.

Resources
 MS-Access 2010, 2013 or 2016. (Free download at DreamSpark/MSDN-AA!)

A1, page 39.
Week 2
Objectives
Creating SQL queries on an existing Microsoft Access database

Resources
 MS-Access 2013 or 2016. (Free download at MSDN-AA!)
 Wedgewood Pacific Corporation database: WPC.accdb
 Textbook: Database Processing by Kroenke and Auer (12th or 13th edition)

Assignments & Deliverables

For this set of assignments, we will use a Microsoft Access database for the Wedgewood Pacific
Corporation (WPC). Founded in 1957 in Seattle, Washington, WPC has grown into an internationally
recognized organization. The company is located in two buildings. One building houses the
Administration, Accounting, Finance, and Human Resources departments, and the second houses the
Production, Marketing, and Information Systems departments. The company database contains data
about company employees, departments and company projects.

The Wedgewood Pacific Corporation database is available on sharepoint (WPC.accdb) and contains
the following four tables

DEPARTMENT (DepartmentName, BudgetCode, OfficeNumber, Phone)

EMPLOYEE (EmployeeNumber, FirstName, LastName, Department, Phone, Email)
PROJECT (ProjectID, Name, Department, MaxHours, StartDate, EndDate)
ASSIGNMENT (ProjectID, EmployeeNumber, HoursWorked)

The figure below shows the relationships in the database

Using Access SQL, create and run queries to answer the following questions. Save each query using
the query name format SQL-Query-#, where the # sign is replaced by the letter designator of
the question. For example, the first query will be saved as SQL-Query-A. Write SQL queries to
produce the following results:

A. What projects are in the PROJECT table? Show all information for each project.

B. What are the ProjectID, Name, StartDate, and EndDate values of projects in the PROJECT table?

C. What projects in the PROJECT table started before August 1, 2008? Show all the information for
each project.

D. What projects in the PROJECT table have not been completed? Show all the information for each
project
E. Which projects contain the word ‘Q3’ in the project name and have been started in august 2008?
Show the project ID, project Name and Start Date.

F. Make a list of all different first names of employees. Order them alphabetically from Z to A.
Week 3
In addition to the SQL exercises below, week 3, 4 and 5 also contain a normalizing exercise.
This exercise is described after the last SQL exercises of week 6!

G. Which employees work for the Administration, Accounting, Production and Legal departments?
Show the employee number, first name, last name and department name. Order the results in
alphabetical order of the department name and then in alphabetical order of the employee’s last
name

H. How many projects are being run by the marketing department? Be sure to assign an appropriate
column name to the computed results.

I. What is the total MaxHours of projects being run by the marketing department? Be sure to assign
an appropriate column name to the computed results
J. What is the average MaxHours of projects being run by the marketing department? Be sure to
assign an appropriate column name to the computed results.

K. How many projects are being run by each department? Be sure to display each DepartmentName
and to assign an appropriate column name to the computed results.
Week 4
In addition to the SQL exercises below, week 3, 4 and 5 also contain a normalizing exercise.
This exercise is described after the last SQL exercises of week 6!

L. What is the total price per order (use ORDER_ITEM)?

M. What is the total price per order, for orders that have total quantity of items more than 2?

N. What is the total price per order, for orders with more than 2 different items?

O. What is the average item price per order?

P. For which SKU’s the average QuantityOnHand is greater than the highest QuantityOnOrder for
any Warehouse?
Q. For which Warehouses the total QuantityOnHand is greater than the total QuantityOnOrder?

R. For which Warehouses the total QuantityOnHand for Tents is greater than half the total
QuantityOnOrder?

S. Give the total quantity of all sku items in all the warehouses. Name the columns as sku,
sku_description and QOH?
Week 5
In addition to the SQL exercises below, week 3, 4 and 5 also contain a normalizing exercise.
This exercise is described after the last SQL exercises of week 6!

T. Which employees have been assigned to at least 2 projects and have worked at least 20 hours on
each of these projects? List the employee number and the number of projects for which the
employee worked at least 20 hours.

Appendix A: Normalization exercise
‘Bike shop De Vries’
Bike shop De Vries
De Vries is a bike shop located in Eindhoven which sells and repairs all types of bikes.

When a customer wants a bike to be repaired the mechanic fills in a repair sheet. Examples of this
sheet can be found below. The mechanic writes down the customer’s data and agrees upon a date
on which the mechanic expects the repair to be finished.

After fixing the bike, the mechanic fills in the repair sheet. He fills in the parts used as well as the
operations done while repairing this bike. For each of these activities (identified by a code) the
duration (in minutes) is written down. Besides the activity code, a description of the activity is
written down on the sheet.

At the end of the day the mechanic fills in the sheet with the operations done so far. Notice that it is
possible that an activity which lasts more than one day is registered on the sheet.

All prices and (sub)totals are without 21% VAT. On the final invoice this VAT has to be included.

Assumptions:
1. Wages are € 1, - per minute (without VAT), independent of the activity done. This may be
implemented as a constant value.
2. Serial numbers of the bikes are unique.
3. The repair sheet serves both as a registration sheet as an invoice.
