This coursework must be completed individually and made up of two parts, Part 1 and Part 2.

Part 1 (Design and Implementation of Database System) 60%

London Autos has several locations within London and its surroundings, from its humble beginning a
decade ago in an east London garage, the business has expanded into a multi-million-pound business.
Their main business is selling Cars both new and used, Car parts and accessories... The Cars on sale could
either be by finance or customers may choose to pay by themself. Those who choose to pay are usually
the top-end customers who have the habit of changing cars whenever new models are released by the
manufacturer while their old cars are returned to the company for reselling to other buyers interested in
used cars. London Autos has kept most of its records in a flat file in a central location. The following
records are kept.
Car name, model number, description, make, manufacturing date, and other necessary
information. The car accessories on sale are seat covers, wheel covers, floor covers, car manual
locks, and many more. All other records kept are all the information for customers, Sales Agents,
purchases, and many more is kept in flat Excel files, but this has grown astronomically over the years. It
has now become necessary to use a relational database to keep these records and other transactions for
London Autos.
Your task is to design and develop the first prototype relational database that will be used to record
all business transactions at London Autos.
The above scenario is the basic guideline, as a developer, you are free to incorporate any component and
database objects you may deem necessary. A typical database is not a standalone, your design and
implementations should allow for future integration with any external application like the website
backend and usage of other departments for example, accounting, human resources admin etc.
Specifically, your design and implementation must show the following.

a. Demonstrate evidence of requirements elicitations to obtain some of the relevant
requirements, you should show clearly the scenario analysis and identify entities from the
scenario for the database design. [15 marks]

[10 marks]
The answers to Part 1 (a to g) must be evidenced with clear screenshots annotation and explanations of
each answer where necessary.

Part 2 (Data Manipulation) (5 * 8 = 40%)

You have been provided with a database called “AdventureWorks ”. Please attach this database on the
MySQL (DBMS) and use it to answer the following questions.

a. write a query in SQL to return all rows and columns from the employee table in the
Adventureworks database. Sort the result set in ascending order on jobtitle.
1
b. write a query in SQL to return all rows and columns from the person table using table aliasing in
the Adventureworks database. Sort the output in ascending order on lastname.

1
c. write a query in SQL to return all rows and a subset of the columns (FirstName, LastName,
businessentityid) from the person table in the AdventureWorks database. The third column
heading is renamed to Employee_id. Arranged the output in ascending order by lastname.

1
d. write a query in SQL to return only the rows for product that have a sellstartdate that is not NULL
and a productline of 'T'. Return productid, productnumber, and name. Arranged the output in
ascending order on name.

1
e. write a query in SQL to return all rows from the salesorderheader table in Adventureworks
database and calculate the percentage of tax on the subtotal have decided. Return salesorderid,
customerid, orderdate, subtotal, percentage of tax column. Arranged the result set in ascending
order on subtotal.

1
f. write a query in SQL to create a list of unique jobtitles in the employee table in Adventureworks
database. Return jobtitle column and arranged the resultset in ascending order.

1
g. write a query in SQL to calculate the total freight paid by each customer. Return customerid and
total freight. Sort the output in ascending order on customerid.

h. write a query in SQL to find the average and the sum of the subtotal for every customer. Return
customerid, average and sum of the subtotal. Grouped the result on customerid and salespersonid.
Sort the result on customerid column in descending order.

1
For each answer in Part 2 (a to h), you must show the screenshot of each query and the result of executing
the queries.
