    The document provides instructions for a series of Oracle SQL lab exercises focusing on using single-row functions to customize query output, calculate values like salary increases and months worked, and format dates. Students are asked to write queries displaying employee data with calculated or formatted columns like name capitalization, salary padding, and weeks of tenure. Conditional expressions are also covered through using functions like DECODE and CASE to return different values based on the value in a column.

    CPD2154 - Oracle Database with SQL Lab #3-4

    Cestar College of Business, Health and Technology

    Lab#3: Using Single-Row Functions to Customize Output:


    1) Write a query to display the system date. Label the column Date.

    Note: If your database is remotely located in a different time zone, the output will be
    the date for the operating system on which the database resides.

    2) The HR department needs a report to display the employee number, last name, salary,
    and salary increased by 15.5% (expressed as a whole number) for each employee.
    Label the column New Salary. Save your SQL statement in a file named
    lab_03_02.sql.

    3) Run your query in the lab_03_02.sql file

    4) Modify your query lab_03_02.sql to add a column that subtracts the old salary
    from the new salary. Label the column Increase. Save the contents of the file as
    lab_03_04.sql. Run the revised query.
    5) Write a query that displays the last name (with the first letter in uppercase and all the
    other letters in lowercase) and the length of the last name for all employees whose
    name starts with the letters “J,” “A,” or “M.” Give each column an appropriate label.
    Sort the results by the employees’ last names.

    Rewrite the query so that the user is prompted to enter a letter that the last name starts
    with. For example, if the user enters “H” (capitalized) when prompted for a letter,
    then the output should show all employees whose last name starts with the letter “H.”

    Modify the query such that the case of the entered letter does not affect the output.
    The entered letter must be capitalized before being processed by the SELECT query

    The HR department wants to find the duration of employment for each employee. For
    each employee, display the last name and calculate the number of months between
    today and the date on which the employee was hired. Label the column as
    MONTHS_WORKED. Order your results by the number of months employed. Round the
    number of months up to the closest whole number.
    Note: Because this query depends on the date when it was executed, the values in the
    MONTHS_WORKED column will differ for you.

    7) Create a query to display the last name and salary for all employees. Format the
    salary to be 15 characters long, left-padded with the $ symbol. Label the column
    SALARY.

    8) Create a query that displays the first eight characters of the employees’ last names
    and indicates the amounts of their salaries with asterisks. Each asterisk signifies a
    thousand dollars. Sort the data in descending order of salary. Label the column
    EMPLOYEES_AND_THEIR_SALARIES

    9) Create a query to display the last name and the number of weeks employed for all
    employees in department 90. Label the number of weeks column TENURE. Truncate
    the number of weeks value to 0 decimal places. Show the records in descending order
    of the employee’s tenure.
    Note: The TENURE value will differ as it depends on the date on which you run the
    query.

    Lab#4: Using Conversion Functions and Conditional Expressions

    1) Create a report that produces the following for each employee:


    <employee last name> earns <salary> monthly but wants <3 times salary.>.
    Label the column Dream Salaries.

    2) Display each employee’s last name, hire date, and salary review date, which is the first
    Monday after six months of service. Label the column REVIEW. Format the dates to appear in the
    format similar to “Monday, the Thirty-First of July, 2000.”

    3) Display the last name, hire date, and day of the week on which the employee started.
    Label the column DAY. Order the results by the day of the week, starting with Monday.

    4
    4) Create a query that displays the employees’ last names and commission amounts. If an
    employee does not earn commission, show “No Commission.” Label the column COMM.

    5) Using the DECODE function, write a query that displays the grade of all employees based on
    the value of the column JOB_ID, using the following data:

    6) Rewrite the statement in the preceding exercise by using the CASE syntax.
