1. Part 1: SQL/Database work
Scenario
Development of a relational database system for a food
producing company
FoodRU is a Leicester-based food producing company. The
company wants to keep details regarding both past and present
employees and their assignment to shifts over time. At present,
there are three defined shift patterns; the morning shift starts at
6am and finishes at 2pm, the day shift starts at 9am and finishes
at 5pm, and the evening shift starts at 4pm and finishes at 12am
(midnight). However, management have already indicated that
they may need to add further shift patterns in the future (e.g.,
by adding a night shift to the existing ones so that the company
can meet a high user demand for their foods). They therefore
require shift details to be stored within a separate Shift table,
with attributes that allow the storage of a shift name with its
associated start and finish times (use the 24 hour clock for these
times).
Past and present employee details are to be kept in the same
Employee table, and the details to be kept are the employee’s
unique 6 digit reference number, the first name, surname and
any other names (if there are any) of the employee, the
employee’s gender, contact address and contact telephone, the
date on which the employee started his/her employment at the
company and the date on which the employee finished his/her

2. employment at the company (should s/he be a past employee).
Details regarding staff assignments to shifts include the date
that an employee was allocated to work a particular shift, and
the date that s/he was taken off the shift (if not still assigned to
it). Employees can be assigned to different shifts over time and
even to the same shift over different time periods, although they
cannot be assigned to more than one shift at any one time. A
new employee may not yet be assigned to a shift.
Tasks:
1. Provide the table specifications for the THREE tables that
are required by FoodRU to store employee, shift and assignment
details. That is, for each of the three tables, you should provide,
in a suitable presentation format, the name of the table and a
specification of each its attributes to include:
• Attribute name
• Attribute brief description as to its meaning
• a description of the attribute’s data type/integrity (e.g.,
date field, character field of length 20, number field <= 10, etc.
– you can use the Oracle data types within these descriptions if
you want to)
• An indication as to whether the attribute is a primary key
attribute and/or foreign key attribute
• An indication as to whether the attribute can or cannot take
null values

3. Make sure your design specifies the appropriate links between
the three tables. Remember to write down any additional
integrity you need to enforce either at a specific table level or
across two or more tables, if this is required. Also, remember to
write down any justifications for the data types/integrity or for
any other design features that you have introduced, and/or any
assumptions that you have made at any time during your design.
2. Create the THREE tables you have designed in Question 1.
above, and populate the tables with some example data (at least
5 employees (some past and some current), appropriate shift
details, and at least one shift allocation for most (but not all) of
the employees). For the Employee table ONLY, provide a
series of tests and their results so that you can be confident that
the table was set up properly. This involves testing any entity
integrity, referential integrity and other data validation
constraints using appropriate SQL statements. Print out the test
and its results, and annotate to specify the intention of each
test.
3. Create and justify THREE queries that you think FoodRU
would like to use. Make sure that your queries, in total, show
you are able to use the following facilities in Oracle SQL*Plus:
o Selection of particular table columns
o Selection of particular table rows

4. o Inner Join of at least 2 tables
o Use of a sorting/ordering facility
o Use of DISTINCT
o A condition using “[removed]”, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL,
or similar.
None of your queries should output an empty table!
You are required to submit:
• The completed table specifications for the required three
tables. These should be written using an appropriate text editor.
• All the CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO Oracle
SQL*Plus statements used to create the three tables and to
populate them with suitable data, together with a printout of
each of the Oracle tables (i.e., the extension of each table) that
you have created and populated.
• The series of tests, and their results and annotations, for
the Employee table ONLY.

5. • A printout of the three queries you devised, showing both
the SQL code and the query result. You should provide a brief
explanation of what you expect each query to achieve and why
you think this query is relevant to FoodRU.
Marking Criteria
Generic explanation of criteria:
In order to achieve an A grade, the work must be excellent in
almost all respects, only very minor limitations.
In order to achieve a B grade, the work should show strength in
most respects, but perhaps has limitations in one or two areas. A
good piece of work nevertheless.
In order to achieve a C grade, the work should be of a
satisfactory standard, showing strength in some areas, but
perhaps let down by either poor presentation, poor practical
work, or poor written explanations where required.

6. In order to achieve a D grade, the work should be of a
satisfactory standard but may have significant shortcomings in
some areas. Nevertheless shows at least a basic understanding
of the concepts and a basic practical ability.
A E grade will be given to work that is just unsatisfactory.
An F grade will be given where the work contains serious
errors/limitations.

required querying facilities.
OVERALL MARK:
ANY OVERALL COMMENTS:

8. Part 2: Haskell work
Consider the following Haskell program.
module Main where
import Data.Char (isPunctuation,toLower)
import Data.List (nub,sort)
strip :: [Char] -> [Char]
strip cs = [ c | c [removed] [Char]
lower cs = [ toLower c | c <- cs ]
prog = unlines . nub . sort . words . lower . strip
main = interact prog

9. You have been asked to give a lecture explaining in detail what
this program does and how it works.
You should produce a PowerPoint presentation containing about
20 slides in which you provide a full explanation (with
examples) of the program and how it works. You may assume
that your audience consists of first year functional programming
students who have a reasonable working knowledge of Haskell.
However, you should ensure that each aspect of the program
(including programming language features, standard functions,
etc.) is fully explained so that everyone has a chance to
understand the lecture fully.
You should ensure that your slides appear professional. Take
care with general layout and avoid spelling mistakes.
You should hand in a printed copy of your PowerPoint
presentation by the deadline and you should also upload your
slides to Blackboard.
