iLab 1 SQL Queries Using MySQL
iLab Overview
Scenario/Summary
The purpose of this iLab is to prepare for the first phase of the Course Project. This week, you will learn to create and run SQL SELECT queries from a script in the MySQL database. You will need to create a database in MySQL via Omnymbus, run a SQL script to create tables and insert data, create and execute a script containg SQL SELECT queries using the STUDENT table.
Please ensure that you can connect to MySQL/Omnymbus via the account your Professor has emailed to you. Please consult with the document titled MySQLOmnymbusSupport.docx located in the Doc-Sharing folder titled Omnymbus Tutorial Files for instructions on how to get help for any issues that you are having with the MySQL/Omnymbus Environment.
Due Midnight Mountain Time attached to the Week 1 DropBox. OR let me know if you are going to be delayed!
- SQL file named Lab1_Query.sql containing SELECT statements
- Text document named Lab1_Output.txt containing labeled output
- Upload files to the Week 1 iLab Dropbox.
- Please do not zip the files
Required Software
Omnymbus - MySQL at the edupe database server.
Access the software at https://devry.edupe.net:8300
If you have any problems, connection, password, technical, etc ONLY your instructor can assist. Using any other Help facility will delay the resolution of the problem as the request is forwarded in all cases to the instructor.
STEP 1: Logging in to Omnymbus
- Look at your email account to obtain the MySQL/Omnymbus account and password that your Professor has emailed to you.
- To help you log into MySQL Omnymbus environment, download the tutorial Login MySQL Omnymbus Environment in the Doc-Sharing folder titled "Omnymbus Tutorial Files".
STEP 2: Create a Database and modify your script to reference your Database
Create a MySQL database:
- Download the tutorial Creating a Database in MySQL Omnymbus Environment from the folder in Doc-Sharing titled Omnymbus Tutorial Files. Follow the steps to create a database in MySQL, especially paying attention to the database naming conventions specified in the tutorial.
- Download the Wk1LoadDatabaseScript.sql file from Doc Sharing in the folder titled iLab Documents.
STEP 3: Running script file in MySQL, create SQL
Download the tutorial Running SQL Scripts in MySQL Omnymbus environment from the folder in Doc-Sharing titled Omnymbus Tutorial Files. Follow those steps and execute the Wk1LoadDatabaseScript.sql file to create the tables and to insert data into them; and then download and run the script file with the queries iLab1QueryScript.sql. This script has the first few queries and it is intended that you should finish it. A demonstration in the Week 1 Live Lecture will be provided.
Create SQL SELECT Queries:
ALWAYS and only use a plain text editor such as Notepad! All word processors will insert hidden tags that confuse database processors.
- Using the data in the Student table in the database, expand the supplied starter SQL script file named iLab1QueryScript.sql, containing queries to execute each of the tasks below.
- To reference, learn and apply MySQL's own dialect of the SQL language to this iLab, browse through the file M10C_KROE8352_13_SE_WC10C.pdf in the Doc-Sharing folder titled My SQL Documents.
- Save the completed results by copying and pasting to a file named iLab1_Results.txt
- An incomplete example is provided in the Doc Sharing.
