- 1. Advanced DBMS – Practical Guidelines Sikkim Manipal University Page No. i 1. Introduction The subject titled “Advanced Database Management System- Practical” bearing the subject code MCA3070 is a 2-credit subject of 3rd semester in MCA program. This lab manual intends the student to gain experience in various types of exercises that introduces students with Advanced Database Management System. Software required for doing exercises related to the ADBMS can be downloaded from the website as indicated in the following pages. The exercises given here cover the concepts of handling the different types of database in different ways. This lab manual is prepared with an intention of increasing the comfort level of students in Database management system. The successful completion of these exercises would enable the students to be comfortable with the skills needed for the implementation of various techniques of DBMS. 2. Objectives The objective of this manual is to make the student to get hands on experience practically regarding the application of theoretical concepts learnt from the subject Advanced Database Management System. It covers the exercises related to storing and retrieving the information to and from database. The set of exercises included as part of this lab manual intend to make the students more practical oriented and also to pave the way for using different types of DBMS. The manual provides the user with the following details regarding the exercises to be completed: 1. Software installation and configuration 2. Exercises 3. Algorithm The manual also provides the list of commands, keywords and sample code to be used for performing exercises in this manual.

Advanced DBMS – Practical Guidelines Sikkim Manipal University Page No. ii After completing various practical exercises of this subject, you should be able to: Illustrate the exercises in any databases (Oracle or MySQL or SQL Server database) in either Windows operating System or Linux Operating System. Work with the different types of queries any databases (Oracle or MySQL or SQL Server database) given in this laboratory manual. 3. Software and Hardware Requirements – Software Requirements: (Minimum) OS (Both MS windows and Linux OS, Windows 7 and Fedora 16 is preferable, although any version of fedora, MS windows or other Linux can be used to meet the objective) Oracle Database 11g Express Edition.(or any other version) Or database like MySQL(above 5.0), SQL Server – Hardware Requirements: (Minimum) A Personal Computer with: Pentium Processors CD/DVD drives Hard disk (with any capacity) 4. Guidelines for Conducting Practical Exercises The course titled “Advanced Database Management System – Practical” bearing the subject code MCA3070 has a weightage of 2 credits and the practical related activities have to be performed for a duration of 60 Hours. The time allotment for the same has been indicated in Table 1. It contains 11 exercises as given in Table 2. Guided and Unguided Exercises The time allocated for various components is given below. The practical component of “MCA3070– Advanced Database Management System - Practical” has to be completed within 7 days of 12 sessions; each session has to be for a minimum of 3 hours. You are advised to consult the LC Faculty for the detailed practical schedule.

You are required to follow the instructions provided by the LC Faculty and observe the demonstration exercises, carry out the exercises, prepare the Practical Record in accordance with the guidelines mentioned and submit the Practical Record to your Learning Centre Faculty. Each Exercise has assessment component, which will be carried out by the LC Faculty. Your attendance is compulsory for these Exercises. The assessment during the Guided sessions account for 70 marks (out of a total of 100 marks for 2 credit Practical subject). In short, during these Guided Exercises, the Learning Centre faculty will offer you guidance and also perform time-to-time assessment of the work done. The end semester examination will be conducted by the CoE for three hours for 30 marks, which forms the Unguided Exercise(s) (UGE), where one or more problem(s) will be assigned to you. The exercise prescribed as unguided could be based on the concepts underlying guided exercises, but need not be exactly the same. To complete the lab course successfully, you have to score a combined average of 40% (i.e., totally 40 marks) in both Guided and Unguided parts together and a minimum of 35% in each part (i.e., 25 marks in Guided part and 11 marks in Unguided part). In case of failure in either or both the parts, you have to redo the concerned part(s).

Each exercise should be performed on any of the Operating system (Either MS windows OS or Linux OS) unless otherwise stated. The steps in the algorithm may not be presented in detail in this manual. (Some of the steps may be skipped in this manual as those steps may be obvious steps.) The faculty or the instructor at the LC should demonstrate the execution process of the exercise or software involved. The student should be motivated to produce the desired output from each exercise and these outputs should be recorded in the individual student report. The students have to use SQL or PL/SQL statements to execute the exercises. Suitable tuples have to be entered so that queries are executed correctly. Normalizations have to be done wherever necessary and foreign keys have to be appropriately determined. It should be noted that under Unix/Linux platform, the database names or table names are case sensitive and hence care should be given in practical lab with different platforms. All the student records should contain the following details with respect to each and every exercise. Objective: It should contain a few lines of description (preferably 2 or 3 lines) of the problem being solved and the methods or procedures followed. Procedure and description: Contains the descriptions and intent of the exercise to achieve the desired objective. Algorithm: It should be written to present the steps involved in solving the problem, wherever applicable. The detailed executable version of the program should be written by hand and a print out of these exercise or executable versions along with sample outputs should be taken; which should be signed by the concerned LC Faculty on the date of completion of the exercise and other details should be recorded as per the table mentioned below.
