employee.
Motown can also keep a track of the dependents of each
employee for the purpose of insurance. Here each dependents
first name, sex, date of birth and relationship to the employee
has to be maintained.
Conceptual Data Model
A conceptual data model of Motown records is based on the
4. summary level data that is very often used in strategic data
projects. It also describes the entire enterprise. Since it is of a
very abstract nature so it is referred as conceptual model
Characteristics of conceptual data model:-
The business concepts are covered enterprise wide on the basis
of customer, product, store, location and asset
It is designed and developed mainly for business audience
It contains around 20-50 entities with a limited number of
attributes described. Sometimes it is limited to only one page
It also contains the relationship between entities but can or
cannot include cardinality and null ability
Different entities have different definitions
It is designed and developed to be independent of DBMS that
stores locations of data and technologies. It also addresses
digital and non-digital concepts. It tries to model paper records
and also artifacts (Slater, 2017).

Write SQL queries to solve information retrieval problems of
moderate complexity using a given relational database.
Deliverable Length: Paper of 4–5 pages (excluding references
and cover page) + Database System Plan template.
Scholarly references and articles only.
Key Assignment Draft
You have been asked to develop a database system plan for a
local company (or a company of your choosing) that wants to
track its customers/clients, appointments, billing, and
employees. Structured query language (SQL) is used to create
the database schema, maintain the database records, and
perform administrative tasks. In addition to the Database
System Plan template that includes section headings (project
outline), submit a SQL Statements document of 4–5 pages based
on the entity relationship (ER) model completed in Week 3.
Complete the following:
· Include SQL statements that use data definition language
(DDL) commands to create the database schema specified in the
ER diagram created in Week 3.
· Include indexes, constraints, and relationships.
· Include SQL statements that use data manipulation language
(DML) to do the following:
· INSERT 15 records into each table.
· UPDATE 5 sets of records in each table using one specific
criteria per update statement (e.g., EXACT MATCH, LIKE,
BETWEEN, IN, or HAVING).
· DELETE 2 records from 1 table based on specific criteria
(e.g., EXACT MATCH or LIKE).
· Create stored procedures to support retrieval of the data from
the database, using SELECT statements to accomplish the
following:
· Aggregate (group) functions (count, avg, min, max, sum)
6. · Write 4 queries using group functions.
· Group By
· Write 2 queries using the Group By, Having, and Order By
syntax.
· Simple queries
· Write 4 queries that manipulate data in 1 table.
· Join queries
· Write 4 queries that join 2 or more tables.
· Add this section to the SQL Statements section of your
database system plan.
· Name the document as follows:
· yourname_IT600__IP4.doc
· All sources should be cited both in-text and in the References
section by using APA format.
Assignment Objectives
Company Name: Motown Records

database satisfies the properties of a relational database.

moderate complexity using a given relational database.

and cover page) + Database System Plan template.
Scholarly references and articles only.
Write an Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram document of 4–5
pages based on the conceptual model that you completed in
Week 2. Include the following:

outlines the primary keys for all entities, the relationships
between different entities, the attributes (and data types) for
each entity, and junction tables to support any many-to-many
relationships
· A design that meets the minimum of third normal form (3NF)
7. · A description of the steps that you took to ensure that your
design was normalized to the desired level and any exceptions
you had to make to prevent anomalies and a loss in data
integrity
· Add section to the Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram section
of your database system plan
· Name the document as follows:
· yourname_IT610__IP3.doc
· All sources should be cited both in the text and in the
References section by using APA format.
· Submit the document for grading.
