This document provides instructions for Lab 5 of a database course. The lab involves writing 13 SQL queries to retrieve data from multiple tables in a database. Students are instructed to write the queries using note pad and test them in SQL*Plus before submitting their script file and output file. The output file should include both the SQL queries and resulting data sets. The lab steps provide details of the data to be retrieved by each query, such as selecting book titles and publisher names based on criteria. Students are advised to check their work and format dates, costs, and other values appropriately in the output.
