DSKDEV1 – Desktop Applications Development 1 MIDTERM PROJECT

“The SQL Manual”

As a requirement for midterms, you and 3 other classmates will be required to create a basic “SQL Tutorial”. This manual will not only benefit DSKDEV1, as you will also use it as a guide for DSKDEV2, WB-DEV2 and CAPROJ2. The main content of the manual consists of the following:

1. How to access the “SQL Server Management Studio” application, which includes: a. Logging into the server b. Creating query window c. Creating a database

2. How to use/execute SQL Commands a. DDL

i. CREATE TABLE ii. DROP TABLE

iii. ALTER TABLE 1. ADD 2. DROP COLUMN 3. ALTER COLUMN*

b. DML i. INSERT INTO

ii. UPDATE iii. DELETE iv. SELECT

1. WHERE 2. IN, BETWEEN, LIKE* 3. AGGREGATES* (SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, MAX, DISTINCT)

CONTENT REQUIREMENTS:

1. You need to show a step-by-step procedure on how to do the procedures in Item #1 (i.e. How to access…). Whenever screenshots are necessary, include them.

2. For the SQL part, it will be more efficient if you have a scenario where the reader will be able to apply the commands.

a. You need to show the syntax of the command and show an example. (Create your own example of an SQL table and let the users fill in data that you will be requiring them to put.)

3. On the title page, you need to affix your group picture. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

1. Manuals must be printed on paper not larger than 8.5” x 11”. If you want to make the manual smaller (i.e. half bond paper size), it will be accepted.

2. You may use any word processing software for this. However, if you want to use a desktop publishing application such as MS Publisher or PageMaker, you may do so.

3. The user manual must be ring-binded. 4. Deadline for the project will be during midterms week.
