13. Write a SQL statement to create a table countries including columns country_id,
country_name and region_id and make sure that the combination of columns country_id
and region_id will be unique.
14. Write a SQL statement to create a table job_history including columns employee_id,
start_date, end_date, job_id and department_id and make sure that, the employee_id
column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion and the foreign key
column job_id contain only those values which are exists in the jobs table.
Here is the structure of the table jobs;
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| JOB_ID | varchar(10) | NO | PRI | | |
| JOB_TITLE | varchar(35) | NO | | NULL | |
| MIN_SALARY | decimal(6,0) | YES | | NULL | |
| MAX_SALARY | decimal(6,0) | YES | | NULL | |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
15. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id,
first_name, last_name, email, phone_number hire_date, job_id, salary, commission,
manager_id and department_id and make sure that, the employee_id column does not
contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion and the foreign key columns
combined by department_id and manager_id columns contain only those unique
combination values, which combinations are exists in the departments table.
Assume the structure of departments table below.
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| DEPARTMENT_ID | decimal(4,0) | NO | PRI | 0 | |
| DEPARTMENT_NAME | varchar(30) | NO | | NULL | |
| MANAGER_ID | decimal(6,0) | NO | PRI | 0 | |
| LOCATION_ID | decimal(4,0) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
first_name, last_name, email, phone_number hire_date, job_id, salary, commission,
manager_id and department_id and make sure that, the employee_id column does not
contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column
department_id, reference by the column department_id of departments table, can
contain only those values which are exists in the departments table and another foreign
key column job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those
values which are exists in the jobs table. The InnoDB Engine have been used to create the
tables.
"A foreign key constraint is not required merely to join two tables. For storage engines
other than InnoDB, it is possible when defining a column to use a REFERENCES
tbl_name(col_name) clause, which has no actual effect, and serves only as a memo or

comment to you that the column which you are currently defining is intended to refer to
a column in another table."
Assume that the structure of two tables departments and jobs.
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| DEPARTMENT_ID | decimal(4,0) | NO | PRI | 0 | |
| DEPARTMENT_NAME | varchar(30) | NO | | NULL | |
| MANAGER_ID | decimal(6,0) | YES | | NULL | |
| LOCATION_ID | decimal(4,0) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| JOB_ID | varchar(10) | NO | PRI | | |
| JOB_TITLE | varchar(35) | NO | | NULL | |
| MIN_SALARY | decimal(6,0) | YES | | NULL | |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
first_name, last_name, job_id, salary and make sure that, the employee_id column does
not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column
job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those values
which are exists in the jobs table. The InnoDB Engine have been used to create the tables.
The specialty of the statement is that, The ON UPDATE CASCADE action allows you to
perform cross-table update and ON DELETE RESTRICT action reject the deletion. The
default action is ON DELETE RESTRICT.
Assume that the structure of the table jobs and InnoDB Engine have been used to create
the table jobs.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS jobs (

JOB_ID integer NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,
JOB_TITLE varchar(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT ' ',
MIN_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT 8000,
MAX_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT NULL
)ENGINE=InnoDB;
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| JOB_ID | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| JOB_TITLE | varchar(35) | NO | | | |
| MIN_SALARY | decimal(6,0) | YES | | 8000 | |
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

The specialty of the statement is that, The ON DELETE CASCADE that lets you allow to
delete records in the employees(child) table that refer to a record in the jobs(parent)
table when the record in the parent table is deleted and the ON UPDATE RESTRICT
actions reject any updates.
Assume that the structure of the table jobs and InnoDB Engine have been used to create
the table jobs.

)ENGINE=InnoDB;
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
The specialty of the statement is that, The ON DELETE SET NULL action will set the
foreign key column values in the child table(employees) to NULL when the record in the
parent table(jobs) is deleted, with a condition that the foreign key column in the child
table must accept NULL values and the ON UPDATE SET NULL action resets the values in
the rows in the child table(employees) to NULL values when the rows in the parent
table(jobs) are updated.
Assume that the structure of two table jobs and InnoDB Engine have been used to create
the table jobs.
)ENGINE=InnoDB;

+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
+------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
The specialty of the statement is that, The ON DELETE NO ACTION and the ON
UPDATE NO ACTION actions will reject the deletion and any updates.
Assume that the structure of two table jobs and InnoDB Engine have been used to create
the table jobs.
