SQL: Creating and Altering Tables
This document discusses SQL commands for creating and altering database tables. It covers creating tables with various data types and column constraints like primary keys, unique constraints, foreign keys, and default values. It also covers altering table structures by adding, modifying, or dropping columns and dropping entire tables.
20. quiz
The document contains a quiz about database normalization with 7 multiple choice questions. Second normal form decomposes tables in first normal form into two or more tables. A foreign key is a field that matches a key field in another table. The relational database model was proposed in the 1970s. Normalization is the process of decomposing a table into more tables to fit the relational model. Third normal form ensures there are no transitive dependencies between non-key fields. A one to many relationship allows each record in one table to have multiple matching records in another table.
Building the DW - ETL
The document discusses the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) process used in data warehousing. It describes how ETL tools extract data from operational systems, transform the data through cleansing and formatting, and load it into the data warehouse. Metadata is generated during the ETL process to document the data flow and mappings. The roles of different types of metadata are also outlined. Common ETL tools and their strengths and limitations are reviewed.
Bi&dw methodology
The document outlines Beltos' approach to data warehouse and business intelligence projects which includes business analysis, architecture design and implementation, and project management.

Personas are archetypes (models) that represent groups of real users who have similar behaviors, attitudes, and goals. A persona describes an archetypical user of software as it relates to the area of focus or domain you are designing for as a lens to highlight the relevant attitudes and the specific context associated with the area of work you are doing.
5 Biggest Blunders With Enterprise Social Software
Social software lets employees connect and share in new ways, and can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your organization. But social technologies like microblogging, social networking, automated activity feeds, social spreadsheets, wikis, etc. are new to most organizations, and most IT departments don’t have experience with how to successfully implement them.
Success with social software involves a lot more than simply finding the product that best fits your needs. It involves framing the problem appropriately in the first place, defining your business goals, and choosing a rollout methodology designed to meet those goals. It involves selling your CFO, changing behavior across your organization, and more.
This paper is designed to help you learn from the mistakes of others before you, so you can avoid the common pitfalls of social software, and get fast business value.

DISCUSSION 1
What did you learn that you did not already know?
This has been like some of the other material that we have covered. I have had exposure to many of the concepts in my master’s program but with this material I am provided both reinforcement of those concept understandings and present new perspectives on them. The from Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm was particularly helpful. Material such as this can often require several iterations of review to begin to develop an understanding of how it can be applied. I have had exposure to similar material but being able to understand how to apply these concepts benefits considerably form exposure to new sources. This material is not abstract but at times being able to apply it in a practice manner almost does seem abstract. Being able to read this material helps me solidify thoughts and ideas on how to concretely implement them in real life situations, this type of process for me is something that requires deeper understanding of the “theory of operations”, for a lack of better words. In course I have gotten a lot of that.
What are some problems that are apparent in the field?
I am going to inject some major bias at this point as my masters was in software engineering and focused on enterprise architecture, IT systems research, software project management, and object-oriented paradigm. To me one of the biggest problems in the industries I have been in is shear negligence in researching the concepts of what software engineering is and how to manage information systems or information technology. The decision-making process is often left to those who have no technical background, two who’s motivations are at best questionable, and three have no concept of the magnitude or time line of projects. There is an abundant source of research, magazines, and various other forms of literature explicitly addressing these things in a practical manner oriented strictly towards helping organizations undertake such endeavors. I by no means consider myself to be an expert but I often find myself in a situation where I ask what should be some basic questions about projects and in return I receive an answer akin to “what are you talking about” or “I have never heard of that” or “I don’t know I never thought about that”.
What are might be some opportunities for research on the topics covered and how might you perform the appropriate research?
The above rant was a segue into this section because I feel that big data is becoming more prevalent and both the elements of software engineering and systems for big data could become victim to similar issues as stated before. Some issues for research in software engineer ...

A smart city uses digital technologies and data to improve city services, reduce costs and resource consumption, and better engage with citizens. It needs three things: 1) an ongoing register of its assets and resources, 2) a connected community to discuss needs and wants, and 3) a way to implement solutions to meet community goals. Leeds aims to become a smart, data-driven city by creating a platform to solve problems using open data and turning these solutions into products and services for all.
