Scenario: ABC College wants to develop a University Management System (UMS) to store information on
students who join their college. The database should contain
Student’s personal information as well as student’s academic details.
It should store information on subjects taught at the university in various departments.
It should also store marks obtained by each student in each semester subject wise as well as the
GPA for each semester.
GPA is a rating calculated in a scale of ten considering the individual subject marks obtained and subjects
weightage % in a semester.
Now it is time to develop the required table structure, but the constraint from client is that all queries must
be written using only ANSI SQL Syntax.
Exercise1: Understand how to create Tables
Problem Statement:
Using the following and identify the tables and columns needed for University Management System.
Student information should have registration_number, name, branch, contact #, DOB, Date of
joining, Address, Email id.
Information on subjects like subject code, subject name and weightage for calculating GPA.
Student’s marks scored in each subject, semester wise.
Finally overall result of the student comprising GPA scored for a semester, scholarship eligibility.
Associates should use the above case and identify the tables and columns for building the UMS system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The number of subjects varies from semester to semester and the university also
changes the number of subjects or swaps the subjects in a particular semester. The database table
design should be in such a way that any new subject additions or subject removal should not impact the
database design that is I should not add columns or alter tables. The design should be flexible for
changes.
Exercise2: Use appropriate DDL and DML statements
Problem Statement:
Problem # 1 Creating Tables: Create following tables using My SQL Client and DDL’s.

Guided Practice Exercises – SQL
i. Create Student_Info_<employee_id> table – This table is used for storing the student personal
information.
a. Reg_Number –Varchar
b. Student_Name - Varchar(30)
c. Branch – Varchar
d. Contact_Number – Varchar
e. Date_of_Birth-Date,
f. Date_of_Joining-Date
g. Address-Varchar(250)
h. Email_id-Varchar(250)
ii. Create Subject_Master_<employee_id> table – This table is used for storing the subjects’
information which are delivered in the university.
a. Subject_Code--varchar2(10)
b. Subject_Name- Varchar,
c. Weightage- Number(3),
iii. Create Student_Marks_<employee_id>table -- This table holds the marks obtained by a student
in a particular subject in a semester. The marks are stored as records in this table. For example if
a student S1 scores 50% in networks and 70% in microprocessor in semester 4. The table will
have two records
Reg Number Subject Code Semester Marks
S1 NWS 4 50
S1 MIC 4 70
Any new subject addition does not need a change in table design all it needs a new subject code and a
new row in this table.
a. Reg_Number - Varchar
b. Subject_Code - varchar2(10)
c. Semester-Number(3)
d. Marks-Number (3)
iv. Create Student_Result_<employee_id> table -- For storing the student results.
a. Reg_Number-Varchar
b. Semester-Number(3)
c. GPA-Number (5,3)
d. Is_Eligible_Scholarship char(3)
Deliverables Expected:
All Tables creation as per details mentioned above

Functions
Case Study Scenario:
This case study is to develop a Course Management System (CMS) for ABC University. The following are
the two use cases for which the database needs to be designed.
Add Course:
To add the course details into the course management system.
Retrieve Course:
Retrieve the courses stored in the system and display it.
The courses to be added will have the following attributes: Course Code, Course Name, Number of
participants, Course Description, Course Duration, Course start date, and Course Type.
Pre-requisite: Use the Course_Info and Course_Fees table.
Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as null.
Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as 300 and 175.

Guided Practice Exercises – SQL
Exercise1: Write a query which will display the total number of records in Course_Info table.
Exercise2: Develop a query which will gives the sum of all base fees of all courses in the
Course_Fees table.
Pre-requisite: We will use the Course_Info and Course_Fees tables for doing this lend a hand. Add a
new column Infra_Fees in course_fees with type number(5,3). For all the records in update the
Infra_Fees with some values say 45.751, 43.453 etc.
Hints:
Use joins wherever needed
Exercise3: Develop a query which will display the course name and course Infra fees of all the course.
The infra fee should be rounded to one decimal point.
Exercise4: Develop a query which will list all the course code and course names in Course_Info table
where in the first letter should be capital letter.
Exercise5: Develop a query which will display all the Course Name in upper case.
Exercise6: Develop a query which will display all the characters between 1 and 3 of the Course
Description column for all the courses in the Course_Info table.
Pre-requisite:
Use the Course_Info and Course_Fees table.
• Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as null.
• Insert 2 records in course_fees table with base fees as 300 and 175.
• Insert 3 records in course_info table each course with course type CLR,EL, OF
Pre-requisite: Let us use the Student_Info and Course_Fees table.
Exercise7:
Write a query which will convert Student_Info's Student_Id to Number and add 100000 and display it for
all the students in the Student_Info table.
Exercise8:
Write a query which will convert Base_Fees into Varchar from the Course_Fees table.
And display in the following format
'The Base Fees Amount for the course name’ <Course Name>’ is ’<Base Fees>
