Chuck decided to work from home. Next to him on the table was a warm, freshly brewed cup of coffee with a thin stream of steam rising over it. Both monitors had the OS boot screen on and a few moments later the welcome screen popped up. Chuck lazily reached for his mouse. He clicked it and got to the directory with the work files. Although he works in the finance department, today he had a completely different task: to help implement another idea that came from above, since he is one of those few employees who are somehow familiar with SQL.
Structured Query Language, or as its creators once claimed - a language in which "every housewife would be able to write a database query". But the housewives Chuck knew from the office couldn't cope with it, so he was usually the one who had the honor of handling database-related tasks. His past experience as a programmer helped. After all, he had spent four years at the university for a reason.
-
"First, I should create the database," Chuck thought to himself. - "Entities with parameters were already written down somewhere, all that is left is to figure out relations. A third normal form would definitely do it."
Chuck reached for the paper, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed the printed financial statements for the past period resting on a table.
-
"I’ll deal with them later, this first. And remembering SQL on such an easy task wouldn't be a waste of time."
After sipping his coffee first, he finally got to the paper.
-
"Okay, let's see what we can do here", Chuck began his musings.
In this project, you will have to put your knowledge of SQL into practice. You will need to create a database with data about School 21 and write procedures and functions to retrieve information, as well as procedures and triggers to change it.
- Use this page as the only reference. Do not listen to any rumors and speculations on how to prepare your solution.
- Please make sure you are using the latest version of PostgreSQL.
- That is completely OK if you are using an IDE to write a source code (aka SQL script).
- To be assessed your solution must be in your GIT repository.
- Your solutions will be evaluated by your peers.
- You should not leave any additional files in your directory other than sql scripts or csv files. It is recommended that you modify your
.gitignore
to avoid accidents. - Do you have a question? Ask your neighbor on the right. Otherwise, try with your neighbor on the left.
- Your reference manual: peers / Internet / Google.
- And may the SQL-Force be with you!
- Absolutely everything can be presented in SQL! Let’s start and have fun!
All fields in the table descriptions are listed in the same order as in the schema.
- Peer’s nickname
- Birthday
- Name of the task
- Name of the task, which is the entry condition
- Maximum number of XP
To access the task, you must complete the task that is its entry condition. For simplicity, assume that each task has only one entry condition. There must be one task in the table that has no entry condition (i.e., the ParentTask field is null).
Create an enumeration type for the check status that contains the following values:
- Start - the check starts
- Success - successful completion of the check
- Failure - unsuccessful completion of the check
- ID
- Check ID
- Nickname of the checking peer
- P2P check status
- Time
Each P2P check consists of 2 table records: the first has a start status, the second has a success or failure status.
The table cannot contain more than one incomplete P2P check related to a specific task, a peer and a checking peer.
Each P2P check (i.e. both records of which it consists) refers to the check in the Checks table to which it belongs.
- ID
- Check ID
- Check status by Verter
- Time
Each check by Verter consists of 2 table records: the first has a start status, the second has a success or failure status.
Each check by Verter (i.e. both records of which it consists) refers to the check in the Checks table to which it belongs.
Сheck by Verter can only refer to those checks in the Checks table that already include a successful P2P check.
- ID
- Peer’s nickname
- Name of the task
- Check date
Describes the check of the task as a whole. The check necessarily includes a one P2P step and possibly a Verter step. For simplicity, assume that peer to peer and autotests related to the same check always happen on the same day.
The check is considered successful if the corresponding P2P step is successful and the Verter step is successful, or if there is no Verter step. The check is considered a failure if at least one of the steps is unsuccessful. This means that checks in which the P2P step has not yet been completed, or it is successful but the Verter step has not yet been completed, are neither successful nor failed.
- ID
- Nickname of the checking peer
- Nickname of the peer being checked
- Number of transferred peer points for all time (only from the one being checked to the checker)
At each P2P check, the peer being checked passes one peer point to the checker. This table contains all pairs of the peer being checked-the checker and the number of transferred peer points, that is the number of P2P checks of the specified peer by the specified checker.
- ID
- Nickname of the first peer
- Nickname of the second peer
Friendship is mutual, i.e. the first peer is a friend of the second one, and vice versa.
- ID
- Nickname of the peer
- Nickname of the peer to whom it is recommended to go for the check
Everyone can like how the P2P check was performed by a particular peer. The peer specified in the Peer field recommends passing the P2P check from the peer in the RecommendedPeer field. Each peer can recommend either one or several checkers at a time.
- ID
- Check ID
- Number of XP received
For each successful check, the peer who completes the task receives some amount of XP displayed in this table. The amount of XP cannot exceed the maximum available number for the task being checked. The first field of this table can only refer to successful checks.
- ID
- Peer's nickname
- Date
- Time
- State (1 - in, 2 - out)
This table contains information about peers' visits to campus. When a peer enters campus, a record is added to the table with state 1, when leaving it adds a record with state 2.
In tasks related to this table, the "out" action refers to all but the last Campus departure of the day. There must be the same number of records with state 1 and state 2 for each peer during one day.
For example:
ID | Peer | Date | Time | State |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Aboba | 22.03.22 | 13:37 | 1 |
2 | Aboba | 22.03.22 | 15:48 | 2 |
3 | Aboba | 22.03.22 | 16:02 | 1 |
4 | Aboba | 22.03.22 | 20:00 | 2 |
In this example, the only "out" is the record with an ID equal to 2. Peer with the nickname Aboba has been out of campus for 14 minutes.
Write a part1.sql script that creates the database and all the tables described above.
Also, add procedures to the script that allow you to import and export data for each table from/to a file with a .csv extension.
The csv file separator is specified as a parameter of each procedure.
In each of the tables, enter at least 5 records. As you progress through the task, you will need new data to test all of your choices. This new data needs to be added to this script as well.
If csv files were used to add data to the tables, they must also be uploaded to the GIT repository.
*All tasks must be named in the format of names for School 21, for example A5_s21_memory.
In the future, Whether a task belongs to a block will be determined by the name of the block in the task name, e.g. "CPP3_SmartCalc_v2.0" belongs to the CPP block. *
Create a part2.sql script, in which, in addition to what is described below, add test queries/calls for each item.
Parameters: nickname of the person being checked, checker's nickname, task name, P2P check status, time.
If the status is "start", add a record in the Checks table (use today's date).
Add a record in the P2P table.
If the status is "start", specify the record just added as a check, otherwise specify the check with the unfinished P2P step.
Parameters: nickname of the person being checked, task name, Verter check status, time.
Add a record to the Verter table (as a check specify the check of the corresponding task with the latest (by time) successful P2P step)
3) Write a trigger: after adding a record with the "start" status to the P2P table, change the corresponding record in the TransferredPoints table
The record is considered correct if:
- The number of XP does not exceed the maximum available for the task being checked
- The Check field refers to a successful check If the record does not pass the check, do not add it to the table.
Create a part3.sql script, in which you should include the following procedures and functions (consider as procedures all tasks that do not specify that they are functions).
Peer's nickname 1, Peer's nickname 2, number of transferred peer points.
The number is negative if peer 2 received more points from peer 1.
Output example:
Peer1 | Peer2 | PointsAmount |
---|---|---|

Amogus | Sus | -2 |
Sus | Aboba | 0 |
2) Write a function that returns a table of the following form: user name, name of the checked task, number of XP received
Include in the table only tasks that have successfully passed the check (according to the Checks table).
One task can be completed successfully several times. In this case, include all successful checks in the table.

For this part of the task, you need to create a separate database, in which to create the tables, functions, procedures, and triggers needed to test the procedures.
Add the creation and filling of this database, as well as the written procedures, to the part4.sql file.
1) Create a stored procedure that, without destroying the database, destroys all those tables in the current database whose names begin with the phrase 'TableName'.
2) Create a stored procedure with an output parameter that outputs a list of names and parameters of all scalar user's SQL functions in the current database. Do not output function names without parameters. The names and the list of parameters must be in one string. The output parameter returns the number of functions found.
3) Create a stored procedure with output parameter, which destroys all SQL DML triggers in the current database. The output parameter returns the number of destroyed triggers.
4) Create a stored procedure with an input parameter that outputs names and descriptions of object types (only stored procedures and scalar functions) that have a string specified by the procedure parameter.
