DBS501-Assignment 1 Solved
Write the PL/SQL block that will as input accept the two letter Country Code (check table COUNTRIES for valid values) and then it will find all locations (Cities) with empty Province information. Then it will modify this blank value to a string of same symbols, with its length determined by the length of the Street Address string.
If the city’s first letter is A, B, E or F then the string will contain only * symbol, if its first letter is C,D, G or H then it will be & symbol, otherwise it will be # symbol.
Show also the modified row from Locations table and then Undo your change.
You need also to code for following cases: there is MORE THAN ONE City with empty province and also if the Country Code does NOT have any Cities in the Locations table.
Here are the possible scenarios:
SQL @q1;
Enter value for country: JP
City Hiroshima has modified its province to &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

2. Firstly, modify your table COUNTRIES by adding a new column called FLAG of fixed character length (7 characters).
Write the PL/SQL block that will as input accept Region Id (check table REGIONS for valid values) and then it will find all Countries with empty Location information (without City listed in that country). Then it will modify blank value in the column Flag for all such countries to become EMPTY_n (where n is their Region Id).
Next, it will display message about that country with NO city listed and also will count how many modifications were made in total.
Show also all modified rows from Countries table sorted by Region Id and then by country name and finally Undo your change.
You need also to code for following cases: there is MORE THAN ONE Country with empty Location in the provided Region and also if the provided Region does NOT exist.
Here are the possible scenarios:
SQL @q2;
Enter value for region: 5
This region ID does NOT exist: 5
no rows selected

In the region 2 there is ONE country Argentina with NO city.
Number of countries with NO cities listed is: 11

3. Re-write the PL/SQL block from Question 2 so that will as input accept Region Id (check table REGIONS for valid values) and then it will find all Countries with empty Location information (without City listed in that country). Then it will modify blank value in the column Flag for all such countries to become EMPTY_n (where n is their Region Id) .
Next, it will populate INDEX TABLE with all country names (without cities) in the alphabetical order, so that their key values increase by 10 (starting from 10). Also, display all their elements, count total number of elements in the INDEX TABLE and finally display SECOND and BEFORE THE LAST element in the table (without using literal key value).
Then, it will display message about all countries with NO city listed for the provided Region Id in the alphabetical order including their total count.
Show also all modified rows from Countries table sorted by Region Id and then by country name and finally Undo your change.
You need also to code for the case: the provided Region does NOT exist.
Hint: Use Cursor For Loops where necessary and do NOT use Exception handler.

4. Write the PL/SQL block that will as input accept two strings:
· Any piece of course description in UPPER case
· Beginning of Instructor’s last name in UPPER CASE
Then, it will find for this input match the following items: Course Number, Course Description, Section Id, Instructor’s Surname and Course Section Number and next it will figure out about the current enrollment for that Section Id. Finally, it will provide the total number of enrolled students through all Sections found.
You need also to code for the case: provided two strings do NOT match and there is NO data.
Hint: Avoid CPU consuming and performance problematic Multiple Tables Join with Grouping. You should use Nested Cursor For Loops instead, where the Inner Loop will have a parameter and will execute only once. Also, do NOT use Exception handler.
Here are the possible scenarios:
SQL @q4;
Enter the piece of the course description in UPPER case:DATA
Enter the beginning of Instructor last name in UPPER CASE:W
There is NO data for this input match between the course description piece and the surname start of Instructor. Try again!
SQL @q4;
Enter the piece of the course description in UPPER case:INTRO
Enter the beginning of Instructor last name in UPPER CASE:W
