setup.exe.

3. Create a folder called c:\cprg250s to store database scripts associated with this class. It is
important to place this in the root folder so that it will be easy to express an absolute
pathname for the spool files.

Part B – Create the CPRG250 Account


1. OPEN SQL*Plus.
a. Under Start->Oracle->SQL*Plus
i. Find the files new_user.sql and build_JLDB.sql in Brightspace under Course
Resources->Database->JustLee Bookstore
ii. Download both files into a new directory called c:\cprg250s

2. Connect to the system account.


a. Command: CONNECT SYSTEM
b. Use the password you defined when installing the software

3. Execute the new_user.sql script to create a new user. (Command is shown in bold)

SQL> start c:/cprg250s/new_user.sql

Note: This will create the CPRG250 user account which you will use throughout the remainder
of the course.

4. Connect to the CPRG250 account

SQL> connect cprg250

SQL> Password: password

Part C – Install the JustLee Bookstore Database


1. While logged into the CPRG250 account, load the JustLee Database. Go to Course
Resources->Databases->JustLee Database

provide a spool file that produces a report of all the Vacation Tours and Destinations. Verify
that the databases have been properly loaded. You should see results for two databases.
2. Find your spool file (c:\cprg250s\loadingoutput.txt) and submit it via Brightspace as proof
that your database has been correctly loaded.
3. Type ‘exit’ to exit SQL*PLUS
