Part 1: Creating DB Tables using JDeveloper (total : 35pts)

You are going to create the database tables for the Expense Reporting database at ABCorp,
an IT consulting company. The Expense Reporting database contains tables to track users and
expenses reports, along with tables to track expense categories. The managers of the
company can use the database to understand the financial conditions of the company.

Task 1A (5pts)

You will need to create a database schema called ERDB to store all the database objects for
this assignment. You also need to grant the appropriate privileges to the ERDB users for
creating the database objects. You need to follow the principle of least privilege when
granting privileges.

Hint:
You may want to grant additional privileges to the user when you are working on PART2 of
this assignment. So, you may come back to this part again and include additional GRANT
statements. Make sure that the submitted script includes all the required GRANT statements.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART1a.sql which contains SQL statement(s) for
 creating the ERDB user
 granting appropriate privileges to the ERDB user

Task 1B (20pts)

You need to use JDeveloper to create the entity relationship diagram (ERD) and to generate
the Data Definition Language (DDL) for creating the tables and constraints specified below.

Table 1 briefly summarized the meaning of each database table.

Tables 2 to 9 described the columns in each table.

You should use the table and column names as shown in Table 1 to 9.

Choose the appropriate Oracle data type for each column.

Task 1B Referential Integrity Constraints

Define referential integrity constraints as defined in Tables 2 through 8. You should

enforce each referential integrity constraint.

You should choose appropriate actions when referenced rows are deleted. When an
expense report is deleted, both the heading row in the ExpenseReport table and the associated
detail rows in the ExpenseItem table should be deleted. For other referential integrity
constraints involving required foreign keys (nulls not allowed), deleting a referenced row in a
parent table should not be permitted if there are associated referencing rows in a child table.
For referential integrity constraints involving optional foreign keys (nulls allowed) except
ExpenseReport.ApprUserNo, deleting a referenced row should make the foreign key of the
referencing row null. For ExpenseReport.ApprUserNo, you should restrict deletion of related
User rows.

Task 1B Check Constraints and Unique Constraints

Define the following check constraints or unique constraind in the related tables.

• Email contains an @
• ERStatusDate >= ERSubmitDate
• BIYear>=1900
• ERStatus is ‘PENDING’ ‘APPROVED’, or ‘DENIED’
• ExpApprAmt <= ExpAmt
• The combination of BIYear, OrgNo, and ECNo is unique in the BudgetItem
table.
• Nulls are allowed for ExpenseReport.ApprUserNo only if ERStatus is equal to
PENDING

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART1b.sql generated by JDeveloper which contains SQL
statement(s) for
 creating the required database tables and constraints

Task 1C Loading Data, Creating Sequences and Users (10pts)

You should use the files (in data.zip) provided to construct INSERT statements to load the
data into the tables. You need to create a sequence generator for table to facilitate the auto
generation of primary key values. The INSERT statements should make use of the sequence
generators. The script InsertBlob.sql provided in LearnJCU shows an example of inserting
Blob data into the table. You also need to create a database user account for each user found
in the USER table. These users can submit expense reports; however, they cannot delete any
data.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART1c.sql which contains SQL statement(s) for
 creating the required sequence generators
 inserting data into the tables
 creating the database users accounts and granting appropriate privileges

Part 2: Creating Stored Procedures and Triggers using PL/SQL (total : 70pts)

You should write SQL and PL/SQL to define the triggers and stored procedure as specified in
the following subsections. You should also include SQL statements to test the triggers. Make
sure that you test single row as well as multiple row actions. Include comments for each
testing statement to indicate the trigger in which it applies and the expected results of the
trigger firing.

Task 2A Creating the Expense Amount Exceeding Limit Trigger (10pts)

You should create a trigger called TR_ExceedingLimitNotice. This trigger fires after
inserting a row in the ExpenseItem table or updating the expense amount (ExpAmt). The
trigger body compares the expense amount to the category limit (ECLimit) in the related row
of the ExpCat table. If the expense amount is greater than the category limit, insert a row into
the exception log table (Log_Table).

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART2a.sql which contains SQL or PL/SQL for
 creating the required trigger
 inserting data into the table for testing trigger
 showing the testing results, e.g. SELECT statement against the Log_Table

Task 2B Creating the Check Approving User Trigger (10pts)

You should create a trigger called TR_CheckApprovingUser.This trigger fires before

updating the approving user number ApprUserNo in the ExpenseReport table. The trigger
body compares the organization number of the approving user to the organization number of
the submitted user. The organization number of the approving user must be the same as the
organization number of the submitting user or the organization number of the parent
organization of the submitting user. If the organization number of the approving user does not
match either, raise an application error.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART2b.sql which contains SQL or PL/SQL for
 creating the required trigger
 update data of the table for testing trigger

Task 2C Change Case Trigger (10pts)

You should create a trigger called TR_ChangeStatusCase. This trigger fires before
inserting an ExpenseReport row or updating the expense report status (ERStatus). The body
of the trigger should change the case of the ERStatus column to upper case. You can use the
Oracle UPPER function in the trigger body.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART2c.sql which contains SQL or PL/SQL for
 creating the required trigger
 inserting data of the table for testing trigger
 showing the testing results

Task 2D Update Items Expense Date Trigger (10pts)

You should create a trigger called TR_ExpenseDate.When the ExpenseDate column

of the ExpenseItems table is updated, ensure that the value is less than or equal to the
ERSubmitDate column in the related row of the ExpenseReports table. If this constraint is
violated, raise an application error. This trigger needs to fire on INSERT and UPDATE
statements that change the ExpenseDate column in the ExpenseItem table.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART2d.sql which contains SQL or PL/SQL for
 creating the required trigger
 inserting and updating data of the table for testing trigger

Task 2E Rollup Expense Item Procedure (10pts)

You should create a stored procedure called spRollupExpenseItem. This procedure updates
the related row in the BudgetItem table given an expense report number and expense category
number. The procedure contains three input parameters, the ERNo value, the ECNo value,
and the rollup amount, along with one Boolean output parameter.

Here is the logic of the procedure.

• If the status (ERStatus) of the related ExpenseReport row is equal to DENIED or

PENDING, an application error is raised. The output parameter is set to False.

• Else, the related BudgetItem row is updated. The actual amount (BIActual) in the
related BudgetItem row are incremented by the rollup amount input parameter.

o The output parameter is set to True after performing the update

operation.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART2e.sql which contains SQL or PL/SQL for
 creating the required stored procedure

Task 2F Create Rollup Expense Item Trigger (20pts)

You should create a trigger called TR_RollupExpAmt. This trigger fires after updating the
expense approved amount (ExpApprAmt) or deleting a row of the ExpenseItem table. The
following points explain the logic of this trigger:

• If updating the ExpApprAmt column, the rollup amount should be the difference
of the New.ExpApprAmt minus the Old.ExpApprAmt.

• If deleting a row of the ExpenseItem table, the rollup amount should be the
negative of the Old.ExpApprAmt.

• To perform the rollup, you should call the spRollupExpenseItem procedure

described in Task 2E.

• If the output parameter of the spRollupExpenseItem procedure is true, insert a row

into the exception log table (Log_Table).

o The ExcText (message explaining the error) value should indicate the
operation (update or delete) and the rollup amount.

o If the output parameter of the spRollupExpenseItem procedure is false,

do nothing.

SUBMISSION:
 A script called PART2f.sql which contains SQL or PL/SQL for
 creating the required trigger
 updating data in the table for testing the trigger
 deleting data in the table for testing the trigger
 showing the testing results, e.g. SELECT statements against the
Log_Table and the BudgetItem Table
