Here is the structure of the table jobs;
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+-----------------------+----------------------------------------
job_id | character varying(10) | not null default ''::character varying
job_title | character varying(35) | not null
min_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
max_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"jobs_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (job_id)
14. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id, first_name, last_name, email, phone_number hire_date, job_id, salary, commission, manager_id and department_id and make sure that, the employee_id column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion and the foreign key columns combined by department_id and manager_id columns contain only those unique combination values, which combinations exist in the departments table.
Assume the structure of departments table below.
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------
department_id | numeric(4,0) | not null
department_name | character varying(30) | not null
manager_id | numeric(6,0) | not null default NULL::numeric
location_id | numeric(4,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"departments_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (department_id, manager_id)
15. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id, first_name, last_name, email, phone_number hire_date, job_id, salary, commission, manager_id and department_id and make sure that, the employee_id column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column department_id, reference by the column department_id of departments table, can contain only those values which are exist in the departments table and another foreign key column job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those values which exist in the jobs table.
Assume that the structure of two tables departments and jobs.
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------+-----------------------
department_id | numeric(4,0) | not null
department_name | character varying(30) | not null
manager_id | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
location_id | numeric(4,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"departments_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (department_id)
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+-----------------------+----------------------------------------
job_id | character varying(10) | not null default ''::character varying
job_title | character varying(35) | not null
min_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
max_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"jobs_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (job_id)
16. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_id, salary and make sure that, the employee_id column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those values which exist in the jobs table. The specialty of the statement is that the ON UPDATE CASCADE action allows you to perform the cross-table update and ON DELETE RESTRICT action rejects the deletion. The default action is ON DELETE RESTRICT.
Assume that the following is the structure of the table jobs.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS jobs (
JOB_ID INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,
JOB_TITLE varchar(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT ' ',
MIN_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT 8000,
MAX_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT NULL
);
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------
job_id | integer | not null
job_title | character varying(35) | not null default ' '::character varying
min_salary | numeric(6,0) | default 8000
max_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"jobs_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (job_id)
17. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_id, salary and make sure that, the employee_id column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those values which exist in the jobs table. The specialty of the statement is that the ON DELETE CASCADE that lets you allow to delete records in the employees(child) table that refers to a record in the jobs(parent) table when the record in the parent table is deleted and the ON UPDATE RESTRICT actions reject any updates.
Assume that the following is the structure of the table jobs.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS jobs (
JOB_ID INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,
JOB_TITLE varchar(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT ' ',
MIN_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT 8000,
MAX_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT NULL
);
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------
job_id | integer | not null
job_title | character varying(35) | not null default ' '::character varying
min_salary | numeric(6,0) | default 8000
max_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"jobs_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (job_id)
18. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_id, salary and make sure that, the employee_id column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those values which exist in the jobs table. The specialty of the statement is that the ON DELETE SET NULL action will set the foreign key column values in the child table(employees) to NULL when the record in the parent table(jobs) is deleted, with a condition that the foreign key column in the child table must accept NULL values and the ON UPDATE SET NULL action resets the values in the rows in the child table(employees) to NULL values when the rows in the parent table(jobs) are updated.
Assume that the following is the structure of two table jobs.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS jobs (
JOB_ID INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,
JOB_TITLE varchar(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT ' ',
MIN_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT 8000,
MAX_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT NULL
);
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------
job_id | integer | not null
job_title | character varying(35) | not null default ' '::character varying
min_salary | numeric(6,0) | default 8000
max_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"jobs_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (job_id)
19. Write a SQL statement to create a table employees including columns employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_id, salary and make sure that, the employee_id column does not contain any duplicate value at the time of insertion, and the foreign key column job_id, referenced by the column job_id of jobs table, can contain only those values which exist in the jobs table. The specialty of the statement is that, The ON DELETE NO ACTION and the ON UPDATE NO ACTION actions will reject the deletion and any updates.
Assume that the following is the structure of two table jobs.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS jobs (
JOB_ID INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,
JOB_TITLE varchar(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT ' ',
MIN_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT 8000,
MAX_SALARY decimal(6,0) DEFAULT NULL
);
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------
job_id | integer | not null
job_title | character varying(35) | not null default ' '::character varying
min_salary | numeric(6,0) | default 8000
max_salary | numeric(6,0) | default NULL::numeric
Indexes:
"jobs_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (job_id)
