The store has recruited 50 new employees. The junior system administrator, Steve has
entered the details of the new employees in the Employee_details table and updated the
Department table. However, only some of the newly appointed employees have been
assigned different departments. You need to view the records of all the employees,

Exercise 1

You need to secure the data stored in various tables, such as the Customer_details and the
Employee_details. As a result, you have decided to create views based on these tables. These
views are:

fields, Customer_ID, Customer_Fname, Customer_Lname, and Customer_Address.

 Emp_View1: This view is based on the Employee_details table, and contains the
fields, Emp_ID, Emp_Fname, Emp_Lname, Dept_ID, Emp_Bonus, and Emp_Salary.

Exercise 2

Since the data contained in the view, Cust_View1 is important, you have decided to
create this view as a Read-only view. In addition, you need to modify the Emp_View1 to
include the field, Emp_designation and remove the field, Emp_Bonus.
You need to modify the Employee_details table to include the field, Emp_Address. As a result,
the view based on the Employee_details table becomes invalid. You need to recompile
the invalid view to make it a valid view.

Exercise 3

customers, whose Customer ID is between 000025 and 000148. However, Steve does not

provide the sum of the salary of those employees, whose salary is less than 6000.

those employees whose designation is Manager. In addition, while creating these user

name of the tablespaces starts from Manager1.
