SQL Demo: Faculty Contact

This is another SQL demo that illustrates the process of designing tables and creating complex SELECT statements from those tables to get different views of the data. The primary table we want to create is as follows:

name email twitter courses

Before viewing the rest of this demonstration, see if you can determine the tables and columns that should be created first.

Quick Setup

If you do not want to copy/paste the commands for this example, they can be found in the sql subdirectory of the cs272 public folder on the lab computers.

For example, you can create the tables and insert the rows for this example by doing:

SOURCE /home/public/cs272/sql/faculty.sql

To double check this created the necessary tables, do:

SHOW TABLES;

+------------------+
| Tables_in_user01 |
+------------------+
| faculty_courses  |
| faculty_names    |
| faculty_twitter  |
+------------------+

The other faculty_????.sql files contain the various SELECT statements from this demonstration.
