-- Create the Instructor table

CREATE TABLE Instructor (


ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(100),
Salary DECIMAL(10, 2)
);

-- Create the Student table


CREATE TABLE Student (
ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(100),
Tot_Credits INT
);

-- Create the Advisor relationship table


CREATE TABLE Advisor (
Student_ID INT,
Instructor_ID INT,
DateAssigned DATE,
PRIMARY KEY (Student_ID, Instructor_ID),
FOREIGN KEY (Student_ID) REFERENCES Student(ID),
FOREIGN KEY (Instructor_ID) REFERENCES Instructor(ID)
);

Explanation

●​ Instructor(ID, Name, Salary) stores instructor details.​

●​ Student(ID, Name, Tot_Credits) stores student details.​

●​ Advisor(Student_ID, Instructor_ID, DateAssigned):​

○​ Establishes a many-to-many relationship (a student can have multiple advisors


and vice versa).​

○​ DateAssigned records when the advising relationship was established.​

○​ Composite primary key on (Student_ID, Instructor_ID) ensures


uniqueness.​

○​ Foreign keys maintain referential integrity.


Here's how you can insert sample data into the Instructor, Student, and Advisor tables
after creating them.

Insert Instructors

INSERT INTO Instructor (ID, Name, Salary) VALUES

(101, 'Dr. Alice Smith', 90000.00),

(102, 'Dr. Bob Johnson', 85000.00),

(103, 'Dr. Carol Lee', 92000.00);

Insert Students

INSERT INTO Student (ID, Name, Tot_Credits) VALUES

(201, 'Emma Brown', 45),

(202, 'Liam Wilson', 60),

(203, 'Noah Davis', 30);


Insert Advisor Relationships

INSERT INTO Advisor (Student_ID, Instructor_ID, DateAssigned) VALUES

(201, 101, '2025-01-10'),

(202, 102, '2025-02-05'),

(203, 101, '2025-01-22'),

(202, 103, '2025-03-01'); -- Liam has two advisors
