The document describes the constraints for 4 tables - locations, locations_departments, departments, and employees. It provides the attributes, data types, lengths and constraints for each table. Sample data is provided for the locations and departments tables. The assignment tasks are to: 1) Create the 4 tables with constraints, 2) Insert the sample data, 3) Test each constraint by inserting invalid data to force errors and validate the constraints are working, and 4) Generate an ERD of the tables.

1. Create the 4 tables and include the constraints


2. Insert the data provided in the tables: locations data and departments data.
3. Constraint Testing – Test each constraint by listing each constraint and providing a test
to validate that each constraint is working:
a. Include an INSERT statement to "force" a constraint error. For example, modify
the employee_id so that it is the same as the employee_id in the
previous row. This will force a primary key error when the INSERT statement is
run
b. Run the INSERT statement and verify that the error occurred
c. Take a screen shot of the error and insert into the constraint testing document
d. Move to the next constraint and perform a constraint test
4. Generate the ERD of the above table
