🎓 Student Lab Tasks: Introduction to Databases

✅ Task 1: Design a Simple Relational Database


Objective: Understand table structure, primary and foreign keys.

Instructions:

1. Create the schema for two tables: Customers and Orders.


2. Define the appropriate fields for each table.
3. Identify and mark primary keys and foreign keys.

Deliverable:
Draw the table structures using a tool (like drawSQL, hand-drawn, or Word/Excel) showing
relationships.

✅ Task 2: SQL Table Creation


Objective: Learn SQL commands to create tables.

Instructions: Using any SQL online compiler (like sqlfiddle.com or db-fiddle.com), write SQL
code to:

 Create the Customers table with these fields:


 CustomerID INT PRIMARY KEY,
 FirstName VARCHAR(50),
 LastName VARCHAR(50),
 Email VARCHAR(100)
 Create the Orders table with:
 OrderID INT PRIMARY KEY,
 CustomerID INT,
 OrderDate DATE,
 Amount DECIMAL(10, 2),
 FOREIGN KEY (CustomerID) REFERENCES Customers(CustomerID)

✅ Task 3: Perform CRUD Operations


Objective: Apply basic SQL operations to manipulate data.

Instructions:

1. Insert at least 3 records into the Customers table.


2. Insert corresponding orders into the Orders table.
3. Select all customers and their orders.
4. Update a customer’s email.
5. Delete one of the customer records.

Sample query to get you started:

SELECT Customers.FirstName, Customers.LastName, Orders.OrderDate,


Orders.Amount
FROM Customers
JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID;

✅ Task 4: Identify Data vs. Information


Objective: Develop an understanding of raw data vs. meaningful information.

Instructions: Given the data in your tables:

 Write a short paragraph explaining what is raw data and what is useful information you
can get from it.
 Example: "The list of all orders is raw data, but calculating total orders per customer is
meaningful information."

✅ Task 5: Case Study Questions


Objective: Apply database thinking to real-world scenarios.

Instructions: Based on the "Simple Order Company" example:

1. What kind of reports would the company need from this database?
(e.g., list of all customers who ordered more than $500 worth of items)
2. Write a SQL query to:
o Find customers who have not placed any orders.
o Find the total sales per customer.
