4. Jungle Books Jungle Books is a book store. Their database keeps track of their complete book inventory. Books can have multiple entries due to revisions which leads to different ISBNs. Books can also have multiple authors. Customers and their orders are also tracked.All of these facts have been addressed in the database.The database diagram follows. This detail structure of the database shows what information is being captured.4

6. Jungle BooksThis is T-SQL Code that will list the customers based on the number of items sold.The report is sorted in descending order based on the number of items sold.In this example, customers will only be listed if they have bought at least 5 books.Sample Listing6Jungle BooksLarge Quantity Orders

7. LibraryThe Library database has been set up to handle the daily activities for a library.The database keeps track of what books each member has checked out.Members are divided into two categories: Adults and Children.Different information is collected between the categories.Address and other contact information is collected for the adults, whereas, birthdates are collected for the children. The children are associated with their parents. Every book is being tracked. Whether it is in the library, out on loan or on the reservation list; the database shows its location. The book loan history is also kept. This provides the ability to determine which books are being loaned out more often. This can help determine which classification of books to add to the library’s collection.7

16. DBA PracticalImporting Data Via Bulk Insert: Modifications Had To Be Made To The Format File BEFORE The Data Could Be Imported As Shown Below:16

17. SQL Server Integrated Services (SSIS)The SSIS Package Developed Was To Import Validated Data Into A Smaller Version Of The AdventureWorks Database. This New Database Is Named MiniAdventureWorks. Several Data Source Files Were Provided. The Data In These Source Files Are As Follows: - Shipping Methods. Various shipping methods/companies available. - Products. The Current Listing of Products Available Along With Its Relevant Information. - Vendors. The Current Listing of Vendors Along With Their Relevant Information. - Purchase Orders. This Information Is The Most Complex. The Purchase Order Will Only Be Added To The Database If All Of Its Information Is Correct. The Vendor And Product(s) Associated With the Purchase Order MUST Exist. The Purchase Order Information Is Split Into Two Separate Tables. The First Table Is The Purchase Order Header. This Table Contains Information About The Purchase Order As A Whole… Total Price, Date Order Was Placed, Vendor Placing The Order, And Shipping Information, Just To Name A Few. The Second Table Is The Purchase Order Detail. This Table Contains The Information About Each Product That Was Ordered… Quantity Ordered, Price Per Unit, Total Price. Updates To Product Data And Addition Of New Products were taken into consideration. For example, When A Product Is Encountered For A Second Time (Update Source File), The Information Is Checked Against The Current Information In The Database. If The Data Is Different, The Information Will Be Updated.17
