Database Design and Management

Assessment - SQL Demonstration and analysis

Assessment - Coding task and Video presentation

Your Task

This assessment evaluates your SQL querying proficiency and your ability to justify and explain query logic. You will receive a database schema, data, and a scenario. You can use Gen AI tools for specific tasks only. The assessment consists of a SQL query task (Part A) and a detailed video explanation (Part B).

Assessment Description

In this assessment, you will use a case study provided as a supplementary document. Your task is to retrieve data on the given database using MySQL to find answers to the questions in the Assessment Instructions. The database contains thousands of rows of data, making it impractical to find answers manually.

Learning outcome 1: Investigate the use of Relational Database Management Systems in organisations.

Learning outcome 2: Construct database models.

Learning outcome 3: Create queries to manage data using a database query language.

Assessment Instructions

Part A: SQL Querying
As an individual, you must download the database and data files and load them into MySQL. Once loaded, you must develop queries for the following questions:
Note: You should include a comment above each query, specifying which question you are answering. In addition, you can use Gen AI tools to answer Questions (1 - 10) only, and responses to the SQL queries should be restricted to only the clauses used in workshop materials.

Question 1: Display the first names of all employees who work in the department located in Sydney in alphabetical order.

Question 2: Show employees who have worked at the University the shortest amount of time. Question 3: Display the names of all employees whose age is a palindrome.

Question 4: List the departments along with the number of employees in each department. Question 5: Find the average salary of employees in each department.

Question 6: Find the names and salaries of employees who are older than 40 years.

Question 7: Show the employee details and their department names for those employees who have a "Lecturer" title.

Question 8: Display employees' first and last names and work out the original salary for all employees and their new salary after their (10%) bonus is applied.

Question 9: Add a new attribute called "EmployeeInitials" to the Employees table.

Question 10: Write a query that populates "EmployeeInitials", based off the existing stored names.

Question 11: Write 250 words explaining the integrity of this database. Is it up to standard? If yes, explain why and how. If not, what is wrong with the database's integrity?

Part B: Video Explanation
You should record a video discussing the following:
Justify each SQL query in detail, including the syntax, the purpose of the query, and the

appropriate output.
Ensure your video is clear and audible.
Show your SQL queries and the database schema while you explain.
Keep your explanation concise and focused within a 9-minute to 11-minute timeframe.

Assessment - Case Study

In assessment 3, you will be using the following database schema:

The University of Australia (UoA) is a university with 24 departments located across Australia. These departments serve as the workspaces for each student and employee, with a total of 20,000 employees working at UoA.

You have been hired by UoA as a Database Administrator to perform some data retrieval on their database.
