Take Chapters 1 & 2 Practice Quiz on Blackboard Publisher content
Here is a practice quiz that you can take for chapters 1 & 2 before you take the test. I will usually do this
at the beginning of a class because the first test in any class can be difficult because of the wording
used. This will allow you to get an idea of how the questions will be worded on the quizzes and tests
throughout this course. Other competencies or chapters may or may not have a practice quiz
depending on the content covered.

Take the Chapters 1-2 Test --Publisher content

Learning Activities
1.
Read Chapter 3-As you go through the chapter, it would be a good idea to also have a copy of the
Premiere Products database open in another window so that you can jump back and forth to enter the
queries as you go to see how they work. There is a copy of the Premiere Products database attached
for you to download and use for this. You will not be submitting the database at this time as it is just for
you to practice SQL statements with.
Each 'Example' box identifies what the query is supposed to do and the 'Figure' screenshot below it
shows the query command itself followed by a screenshot showing the results of the query when it is
executed or ran.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: By default, Microsoft Access automatically starts a Query-By-Example (QBE)
window when you create a new query using the Query Design icon. Since you will need to be able to
write the query statements, after you open a query design windows, click on the SQL View option on
the View button at the left side of the ribbon. After entering the query statement, change to the
Datasheet View to see the results of the query. You can also click on the Run button to execute the
query as well. Make sure that you ONLY use the SQL View when entering or editing your queries.

Watch SQL Basics Videos --Atomic Learning (Copyright content)
Follow a link to the Atomic Learning Tutorials videos that cover how to write SQL statements. There are
currently 51 videos in this section; most of which are three minutes or less.
The first section, Getting Started, demonstrates the basics that you can use to complete the exercises
at the end of chapter 3. Review those videos to learn the basic syntax and structure of SQL statements.
We will be covering the other video content in future chapters so it is recommended that you keep this
resource in mind for future reference so that you can use on upcoming assignments (proprietary
content)

Complete the Chapter 3 Premiere Products Exercises -- Publisher Content
Using only SQL statements, complete the Premiere Products Exercises 1 through 13 at the end of
Chapter 3. Since the focus here is on SQL statements, no QBE (Access query design tools) should be
used when doing this assignment. Use the attached copy of the Premiere Products database to

Please use the same naming format as before for the queries (Query1, Query2, Query3, etc.) to match
up to the step in the book.
When finished with all queries, make sure they are saved and the database is closed. Submit it through

Using only SQL statements, complete the Henry Books SQL Exercises 1 through 15 at the end of
Chapter 3. Since the focus here is on SQL statements, no QBE (Access query design tools) should be
used when doing this assignment. Use the attached copy of the Henry Books database to complete the
steps.
Since this is the first time that we have used the Henry Books database, I am attaching the ER Diagram
for the database so that you can see what tables and fields make up the database. Also, reference
pages 15-22 in chapter 1 where the Henry Books database was introduced to see the actual data
stored in the tables. You should find that very helpful as you work your way through these queries.
Please use the same naming format as before for the queries (Query1, Query2, Query3, etc.) to match
up to the step in the book.
When finished with all queries, make sure they are saved and the database is closed. Submit it through
this link in Blackboard.
Do not submit the database until you have all 15 queries finished and saved. When finished, close the
database and submit it through this link in Blackboard
