Assumptions: 1. Ownerid Is A Surrogate Key (Starts at 1 and Increments by 1) For SQL Server

The document describes SQL statements to create tables for a pet owner database with columns for owner and pet details. It includes statements to create tables PET_OWNER and PET with appropriate data types and constraints, insert sample data, create a foreign key constraint between the tables, and provides rational for the better table design.

7 Write a SQL CREATE TABLE statement to create the PET_OWNER table, with
OwnerID as a surrogate key. Justify your choices of column properties.
Assumptions:
1. OwnerID is a surrogate key (starts at 1 and increments by 1)
For SQL Server:
CREATE TABLE PET_OWNER(
OwnerID Int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1),
OwnerLastName Char(25) NOT NULL,
OwnerFirstName Char(25) NOT NULL,
OwnerPhone Char(12) NULL,
OwnerEmail VarChar(100) NULL,
CONSTRAINT OWNER_PK PRIMARY KEY(OwnerID)
);

INSERT INTO PET_OWNER


VALUES('Downs', 'Marsha', '555-537-8765', '[email protected]');
INSERT INTO PET_OWNER
VALUES('James', 'Richard', '555-537-7654', '[email protected]');
INSERT INTO PET_OWNER
VALUES('Frier', 'Liz', '555-537-6543', '[email protected]');
INSERT INTO PET_OWNER (OwnerLastName, OwnerFirstName, OwnerEmail)
VALUES('Trent', 'Miles', '[email protected]');

3.9 Create a referential integrity constraint on OwnerID in PET. Assume that deletions
should not cascade.
CREATE TABLE PET(
For SQL Server:
CREATE TABLE PET(
PetID Int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
PetName Char (50) NOT NULL,
PetType Char (25) NOT NULL,
PetBreed VarChar(100) NULL,
PetDOB Date NULL,
OwnerID Int NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PET_PK PRIMARY KEY(PetID),
CONSTRAINT OWNER_FK FOREIGN KEY(OwnerID)
REFERENCES PET_OWNER(OwnerID)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
);

3.11 Write the required SQL statements to create the PET_2 table.
PET_2 (PetName, PetType, PetBreed, PetDOB, OwnerID)
For Access, SQL Server Oracle Database and MySQL:
CREATE TABLE PET_2(
PetName Char(50) NOT NULL,
PetType Char(25) NOT NULL,
PetBreed VarChar(100) NULL,
PetDOB Date NULL,
OwnerID Int NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT PET_2_PK PRIMARY KEY(PetName)
);

This table will NOT be used for data; see question 3.12 below.
3.12 Is PET or PET_2 a better design? Explain your rationale.
PET is the better design because of the PetID field. Using the dog’s name as the primary key
is not a good idea; there are many dogs named “Spot.”
3.13 Write the SQL statements necessary to remove the PET_OWNER table from the
database. Assume that the referential integrity constraint is to be removed. Do not
run these commands in an actual database!
ALTER TABLE PET
DROP CONSTRAINT OWNER_FK;
DROP TABLE PET_OWNER;

3.14 Write the SQL statements necessary to remove the PET_OWNER table from the
database. Assume that the PET table is to be removed. Do not run these
commands in an actual database!
DROP TABLE PET;
DROP TABLE PET_OWNER;

(and only in that order.)


3.15 Write a SQL statement to display all columns of all rows of PET. Do not use the
asterisk (*) notation.
SELECT PetID, PetName, PetType, PetBreed, PetDOB, OwnerID
FROM PET;
3.16 Write a SQL statement to display all columns of all rows of PET. Use the asterisk (*)
notation.
SELECT *
FROM PET;

3.17 Write a SQL statement to display the breed and type of all pets.
SELECT PetBreed, PetType
FROM PET;

3.18 Write a SQL statement to display the breed, type, and DOB of all pets having the type
Dog.
SELECT PetBreed, PetType, PetDOB
FROM PET
WHERE PetType = 'Dog';
3.19 Write an SQL statement to display the PetBreed column of PET.
SELECT PetBreed
FROM PET;

3.20 Write a SQL statement to display the PetBreed column of PET. Do not show
duplicates.
SELECT DISTINCT PetBreed
FROM PET;

3.21 Write a SQL statement to display the breed, type, and DOB for all pets having the
type Dog and the breed Std. Poodle.
SELECT PetBreed, PetType, PetDOB
FROM PET
WHERE PetType = 'Dog' AND PetBreed = 'Std. Poodle';
