Microsoft Enterprise Consortium What you’ll need For this and other SQL lessons, you need a user account from the Microsoft Enterprise Consortium. Get this account from your instructor. Log in to your account for this lesson. If you have not already done so, you need to create the Student-Team database and populate it with data (enter data in the tables). Get the scripts (files with SQL commands) from your instructor. The next few slides describe the steps you need to take to build this database.

Microsoft Enterprise Consortium Object Explorer in MSSMS In the Object Explorer select and expand the Database section. Locate your account ID in the list NOT the account shown here. Prepared by Jennifer Kreie, New Mexico State University Hosted by the University of Arkansas 3

Microsoft Enterprise Consortium SQL pane Either click New Query to open an SQL pane and paste in the contents of the “create” script OR Open the CREATE script file, which opens the SQL pane with the file contents. Prepared by Jennifer Kreie, New Mexico State University Hosted by the University of Arkansas 4

Microsoft Enterprise Consortium CREATE – Build tables & relationships. The CREATE script contains several comments. You should read these to learn more about the Student-Teams database and the SQL commands this script. The commands in this file show: How to create a table by defining the columns it will contain. How to define a primary key field. How to define a foreign key field (a relationship). Prepared by Jennifer Kreie, New Mexico State University Hosted by the University of Arkansas 5

Microsoft Enterprise Consortium Relationships and the CREATE TABLE sequence. A data model shows the sequence in which tables are created in the database. In a one-to-many relationship, the table on the “one” side is created first so that it already exists when the foreign key constraint is created in the “many” table. The CREATE TABLE statements in the script are listed in the correct order. Execute these SQL commands. Click TEAMS STUDENTS EVAL ITEMS EVALUATIONS EVAL ITEMS SCORES TEAMS is created before STUDENTS. STUDENTS is created before EVALUATIONS. EVAL ITEMS and EVALUATIONS are created before EVAL ITEMS SCORES. Prepared by Jennifer Kreie, New Mexico State University Hosted by the University of Arkansas 6

Microsoft Enterprise Consortium INSERT INTO – Populate the tables. The INSERT INTO script has SQL commands to insert data into the tables in the Student-Team database. First, you specify the table name after INSERT INTO. Next, you list in parentheses the column names in the order in which the data is listed. Each column name is separated by a comma. Last, after VALUES the data values are listed in parentheses. Each value separated by a comma. Prepared by Jennifer Kreie, New Mexico State University Hosted by the University of Arkansas 7

Microsoft Enterprise Consortium Student-Teams Database Now you have the Student-Teams database in your MEC account. You can see the list of tables in the Object Explorer pane. NOTE 1: Need to drop these tables? A script for deleting these tables is available. Also, MSSMS can generate these commands for you if you right-click a table then select SCRIPT TABLE AS . DROP TO . NOTE 2: There are graphical tools that allow you to create tables and populate them without writing the SQL yourself. However, the purpose of these lessons is to learn SQL so we won’t use these tools right now. Prepared by Jennifer Kreie, New Mexico State University Hosted by the University of Arkansas 8
