College Database Project:

A Comprehensive Guide
This presentation will walk you through the design, implementation,
and analysis of a college database project, covering essential steps
and challenges.
Introduction and Project Objectives

Implementing CRUD (Create, Read,
Update, Delete) Operations
Create
Implementing SQL INSERT statements to create new records.

Read
Developing SQL SELECT statements to retrieve specific or aggregated data.

Update
Writing SQL UPDATE statements to modify existing records.

Delete
Implementing SQL DELETE statements to remove records from the database.
Advanced SQL Queries and Data Manipulation
Joins
1 Using JOIN clauses to combine data from multiple tables, such as joining Students and Courses
to analyze student performance.

Subqueries
2 Nesting queries within queries to retrieve specific subsets of data, such as
finding students with a GPA above a certain threshold.

Aggregations
Using aggregate functions like SUM, AVG, COUNT, and
3
MIN/MAX to perform calculations on data, such as
calculating average course grades.
