CS4320 How to Create and Query the SP Database

Steps to create the SQLite database named SP.db

1. Launch Microsoft MS-DOS command prompt shell window. Hint Click the Windows Start menu |
All Programs | Accessories | Run, then enter cmd in the Open: text box and click the OK button.
2. Navigate to the drive and folder that contains your SQLite3.exe application file, the SQL script files
CreateSPDB.sql and DisplaySP.sql, and your SQL Problem Set SQL script files.
3. Enter the MS-DOS command SQLite3 SP.db to launch the SQLite application and create the empty
database named SP.db.
4. Enter the SQLite command .read CreateSPDB.sql which reads in and interprets the SQL script file
that contains the three CREATE TABLE statements and three collections of INSERT statements
required to populate the SP database.
5. Enter the SQLite command .read DisplaySP.sql which reads in and interprets the SQL script file
that contains the SQL SELECT statements required to output the extension (contents) of the three SP
database relations s, p, and sp to the file DisplaySP.log. Hint Use DisplaySP.log to manually compute
the results of your SQL queries to ensure that your syntactially-valid SQL is semantically correct!
6. Enter the SQLite command .quit to terminate SQLite.

Steps to do querying of the SP database for SQL Problem Set #1

1. Use your favorite text-editor to develop the SQL script file named ProblemSet1.sql which contains
SQL statements to solve the query problems in SQL Problem Set #1.
2. Launch Microsoft MS-DOS command prompt shell window. Hint Click the Windows Start menu |
All Programs | Accessories | Run, then enter cmd in the Open: text box and click the OK button.
3. Navigate to the drive and folder that contains your SQLite3.exe application file, the SQLite database
file SP.db (created earlier, see above), and your SQL Problem Set #1 SQL script file.
4. Enter the MS-DOS command SQLite3 to launch the SQLite application.
Note Steps 2, 3, and 4 can be short-circuited either by launching the SQLite application by
double-clicking on the file SQLite3.exe (found in the list of files displayed by Windows
Explorer) or by creating a desktop short-cut to the SQLite3.exe application and then doubleclicking on the short-cut.
5. Enter the SQLite command .read ProblemSet1.sql which reads in and interprets the commands
contained in the SQL script file you created in Step 1.
Note Your SQL script file must contain embedded SQLite dot-commands which direct
your query results to a text file that you can send to Dr. Hanna as evidence that your SQL
query commands are correct.
6. Enter the SQLite command .quit to terminate SQLite.
