information provided in the FAQ - about Assignment Questions file (if available).
• Watch relevant help videos available.
• Double check your answer to each of the assignment Task to ensure that it conforms to all
specifications mentioned in the above resources.
• In fact, you need to create THREE (3) separate files for three tasks as follows. See detail in
the assignment specification file.

Tasks Description File you create (e.g., with ID F01)

Task 1 Create database and create tables Create_F01.txt
Task 2 Insert data into tables Insert_F01.txt
Task 3 Write queries Queries_F01.txt
• Attention Mac users: Your MySQL database should run on Windows version of XAMPP. The
teaching team/markers have access to the Windows machines only. So, for the convenience
Page | 5
 we suggest that you import your database files and run the queries on Windows machines
available in the labs. Make sure all files are working in Windows machines before you
submit.
• You should transfer all the queries of Task 3 and the output each query to the template file
‘2814ICT-7003ICT_2019T1_Template_Assignment_Part 2.docx’.
• In this template file, fill in the first page with your details (signatures by all group members
are required). Provide a table of content and the list of people to whom you discussed your
assignment on Page 2. Copy your solution to each query and its output into the template file
(from Page 3 onward).
• Once you are happy with your answers, ZIP all FOUR (4) files above into a single file as
'a2_F01.zip' (with ID F01).
• Make sure that your assignment ZIP file can be unzipped/opened properly before you
submit it. Try on different machines.
• If you are using computers other than Windows (e.g., Mac), make sure you create the ZIP file
into a Windows machine (e.g., use lab computers in Windows) and test your file can be
properly opened/unzipped.
• When your ZIP file is ready and you want to submit, submit online.

Submission deadline:
• For deadline, see the course website.
• Submit online at the course website
