This section is worth 90 marks.
Question 1 Formats, metadata and data quality
(10 marks)
(a) The following table shows a sample data record from an Australian botanical collection:
Source institute
Accession number
Scientific name
Collection
Collection number
Additional collectors
Region
Near named place
Location
Geocode source
Geocode precision
Record update date
CANS
564849
Eucalyptus regnans F.Muell.
Nicolle, D.; 02-Jan-2002 , Field collection
4316
None
Victoria, Australia
NA
Latitude -38.833 Longitude 143.666
unknown
1000.0
The Scientific name indicated above consists of the Genus, Species and the Authority who first
described the species (here Victorian Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller). Collection consists of the
person who made the collection, the date of the collection and the type of the collection.
Explain the following terms and, in each case, give one example to show how it could be applied to
the above data record:
i)
Granularity
ii)
Dublin Core
iii)
Data quality

Question 2 Entity Relationship Modelling
(20 marks)
The local under-sixteen football league needs a database to help track teams, children that sign up to
play in the league, the parents ofthese children and the coaches for each team.
The league wishes to record the details for each parent of a particular player (the parents last name,
first name, phone contact number and address).
For each player the system needs to record the player's last name, first name, blood type and their date
of birth. Any allergies that the player has also need to be recorded. A player may only play in one team
with this league.
Each team is given a unique id, the system needs to record this id, the teams name and the city their
home ground is located in (a city may have several under-sixteen teams based in it). A teams colours
are also to be recorded, teams may choose to use a single or multiple team colours. A team may have
several coaches- one of the coaches is designated as the head coach. A coach is only permitted to
coach one team in the under-sixteen league. All communications from the league to the team are via
the head coach. To be registered to play in this league a team must have a head coach and at least one
player. The database needs to track a coach's first and last name, phone and address contact details and
the team that they are coaching.
Create a relational Logical Model to represent the data requirements described above for this undersixteen league. Your model must
Include all necessary attributes, and

Name all relationships.

(10 marks)
Question 3 Logical Model and the SQL Create Table Statement
(a) Students enrol in/complete units. A conceptual ER model of the scenario is shown below:
STUDENT
student id [PK]
student_name
student_address
student phone
UNIT
enrols/completes
unit code [PK]
- - - - - - - ~ unit_name
unit points
In addition to the data above, the model should also allow the recording of a student's year and
semester of enrolment, a final unit result as a percentage result and a final unit grade. If a student fails
a unit (grade N) the structure should maintain this fail grade and associated mark in the system and
allow the student to repeat the unit. The grade must be one ofN, P, C, D, HD. The percentage result
must be between 0 and 100 (inclusive).
Convert the conceptual ERD above into a logical model, including the extra items are to be recorded.
[5 marks]
Page 19 of 40

Page 20 of 40
(b)
Using the logical model you designed for part (a), write the SQL statements needed to create
the table that contains the attributes to store the students unit result/s. Your schema
should include a primary key definition, as well as appropriate referential integrity references
and appropriate column check/s and make use of named constraints.

Question 5 SQL
(30 marks)
Appendix A shows the logical model for a PAYROLL database. Also provided is the Oracle schema
file for creating the database structure. Using SQL, write commands to achieve the following
results on the PAYROLL database:
a) Display all the names of MANAGERs in the company.
b) Display the employees' name and monthly salary for SALESREP who have not
earned any commission yet.
c) Display the employee name, job, department name, location and monthly salary of
employees that work in Dallas. The result should be ordered by job.
d) Display the name and job of employees who do not work in TRAINING or SALES
department.
Page 29 of40

Page 30 of 40
e) Display the employees who were born in the first half of the 60s. Display the output in
birth date order.
f)
Display the name and location of all departments, and the name of their employees.
Display the output in employee name order within department name order.
g) Display employee name and the amount of the annual salary for the highest paid
employee in the company.
h) Display the names of employees who earn the same amount of monthly salary as
'MILLER' but not having the same job as MILLER.
i)
For each department list the department number and name, the number of employees,
the minimum and maximum monthly salary, the total monthly salary and the average
salary paid to their employees. Name the columns: NbrOfEmployees, MinSalary,
MaxSalary, Total Salary, A vgSalary.
Page 31 of 40

Page 32 of 40
j)
List the department names that have average monthly salary of its employees higher
than the average monthly salary in the company.
k) The manager for SALES department "BLAKE" has left the company. "MARTIN" has
been assigned as the new manager. In the new position MARTIN should earn the
same monthly salary as BLAKE's. BLAKE job is set to NULL. Performs necessary
updates to employee and department tables to reflect the changes.
