Oracle Database Practice Set | Libraries Relational Database Schema



SQL Queries

a) Use your script from HW Assignment 6 to create the LIBRARY relational database schema in the figure below, in your Oracle schema. (Alternatively, a solution script HW6_SQL_DDL_Library.sql will be provided for that assignment after the submission window closes.)


b) Use the HW7_HW8_SQL_DML_Library.sql script provided on Canvas to populate the LIBRARY tables. If you use your HW Assignment 6 script and get errors because varchar attributes are limited to less characters than used in the insert statements, please extend the allowed size for these attributes, recreate the LIBRARY tables, and run again the script to populate them. Leave the tables in your schema until your assignment is graded in Canvas.


c) Find the names of all authors of books published by "Penguin" that cost more than $10. Make sure each name is included only once in the result.


d) Find the title, publisher and price for all books with an unknown author.


e) The library is setting a summer reading program, where each book values a number of points, based on its length; the formula to determine points for a book is number of pages / 100, rounded up to the nearest integer. Calculate the number of points for each book and list it together with the book id and title. Name the calculated column "no_of_points".


f) Find the title and publisher of all books that are priced between 3 and 6 dollars. Requirements:

- All titles from each publisher must be reported consecutively, and sorted alphabetically from A to Z.

- Publisher names must be all shown in capital letters.

- The report must have the 3 columns: publisher, title, and a new calculated column that should be named "Selling price". A partial result is shown below:

g) How many copies of the book titled "The Lost Tribe" are owned by the library branch whose name is "Newport Branch"? Report the library branch id, name, and number of copies of the book. Separate join conditions from where conditions.


h) Find the card number and name of all members who have borrowed books from the Alexandria library branch. Requirements:

  • List borrowers ordered by their card number.

  • Make sure each name is included only once in the result.

  • Separate join conditions from where conditions.

i) Find the card numbers of all library members who have not borrowed any books from the library. You must use set operations to write this query.
