Introduction to Databases
Assignment #3 - Instructions
BEFORE YOU START ------------------------------------------
Before beginning, be sure to review all of the instructions and the included marking
scheme to make sure you are aware of what you are graded on for this assignment.
FIRST, CREATE THE DATABASE ------------------------------------------
I have included the file ‘inft1105_a3_dbcreation.sql, download it somewhere you won’t lose it.
1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to your SQL Server instance.
2. Create a new database named CityHockeyAssociation.
3. Click Ctrl-O and SSMS should open the ‘Open File’ window. Find the
inft1105_a3_dbcreation.sql and open it. Alternatively, you can drag and drop script files
into SSMS and it will open them.
4. Execute the script. If it fails, check that you named the database correctly.
THE QUERIES ------------------------------------------
Write a single statement for each query requested below. Helpful comments for each
query are worth a mark per query.
Remember to verify the result of your query is the correct result!

briefly describe what the query actually does.

Students table where the record indicates that they are indeed awesome. */

Notes from the Instructor:
All scripts are included in a single .SQL file, which upon execution will complete all
queries in the order they are listed in this assignment.
Use ‘GO’ as the last line of each query. This way, if one of your statements is causing an
error the rest of the working statements will still execute and provide their results.
