Database Practical:

Practical: Operations on a single table


Objective: this tutorial lets you learn how to create your own tables using SQL.

Start up the Command Centre and make sure that it is set up to use semicolon as the
statement termination character (just like Tutorial 2) and create a new script that does the
following:

1. Create a new database named tut3.


2. Create the PERSON table the attributes are P_IC BIGINT, P_NAME VARCHAR
(50), P_HOMETOWN VARCHAR (50), P_STATE VARCHAR (50), P_RELIGION
VARCHAR (50), P_BIRTHDAY DATE and the primary key is P_IC.

create table person


( p_ic bigint not null,
p_name varchar(50),
p_hometown varchar(50),
p_state varchar(50),
p_religion varchar(50),
p_birthday date,
primary key (p_ic)
);

Enter yourself and 10 other people into the database. If you can't find out information
about 10 other real people it's OK to make up imaginary people. Give yourself the P_IC 0
and the other people P_IC 1 to 10. Remember that P_IC should be NOT NULL. The
default year format is YYYY-MM-DD.
3. Make sure that there are some people in your database who have the same state as
you and have the same religion as you and are younger than you. (This is so that
question 7 will have some visible results.)
