INF 322 Week 1 DQ 1 Databases
Databases. Everyone has had
some experience with data. Even if you are new to the Database world you have this
experience since your personal information is data in many places. List an
example of a database and how you interact with that database. One example
might be as a customer receiving monthly bills. Another example might be your
personal information collected at a medical office. Respond to at least two of
your classmates’ postings.
INF 322 Week 1 DQ 2 Running Access
Running Access. If you have not
already done so, install Microsoft Access 2010 (this is a free 60-day
trial for MS Office Professional 2010). In the response to this forum, note
that you have successfully installed the product and what you experienced in
the install and as you first opened the tool. We will all start with a sample
database to get familiar with Access in Week 2. If you have any issues or
unexpected results, this is a great place to share your experience. Respond to
at least two of your classmates’ postings.
Week 2
INF 322 Week 2 DQ 1 Improved Processes
Improved Processes. Databases
are installed to help solve problems, improve processes, or provide a benefit
to the organization. Do you have a scenario that you can share where you
believe a Database helped/could help improve a process at your work or at
another organization with which you are familiar? It can be for a new application
or to replace an existing application or process. Respond to at least two of
your classmates’ postings.
INF 322 Week 2 DQ 2 Interviewing the Users
Interviewing the Users. This
week’s reading contained a section on interviewing the users. Why is this process
important? Think about who uses the tool, what they use it for, and what is
important for them to get the job done. Have you ever been involved in any of
these types of interviews? If so, share your experience. Respond to at least
two of your classmates’ postings.
INF 322 Week 2 Database Modeling
Database Modeling. After
reading this week’s article, “Modeling for the Future,” expand on the subject
of Database Modeling. There are several tools listed and reviewed in the
article. Research these tools further, or identify other modeling tools, and
write a 2-3 page, APA-style paper focused on one tool of your choice. You are
allowed to compare tools, but apply your findings and comparison to your
research as if you were selecting the tool for use at your employer. What are
the benefits and the possible shortcomings of using the tool? How would this
tool help you meet your database modeling needs? Be sure to integrate
vocabulary from the text to demonstrate your understanding of concepts.
Week 3
INF 322 Week 3 DQ 1 Keys
Keys. Why is a Key important in
a database? How does it help with Referential Integrity? Chapter 8 lists three
compelling reasons why Keys are crucial to table structure. There is an example
of a table and its’ key in Figure 8.2. Respond to at least two of your
classmates’ postings.
INF 322 Week 3 DQ 2 Determining System Requirements
Determining System
Requirements. Identify the database or process you would like to begin to think
about for your future database design. After you have developed a database
idea, you need to plan the interviewing of your users. Interviewing will give
you a better understanding of user needs, wants, and desires, as well as help
you to determine your system requirements. What questions should you ask? How
do you think this will help you in determining your table and field
requirements? When do you think it would be important to make these decisions?
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
Customer Service Database. Show
a SQL Query and screenshot your results in a Word document to submit to your
instructor. There will be 4 results with explanations required for this
assignment.
INF 322 Week 3 Assignment Customer Service Database
Part 1
1. Create a “Customer Service
Database” using New in MS Access and select from Microsoft Online on left,

results of your Report via a
screen shot.

you performed.
Week 4
INF 322 Week 4 DQ 1 Table Relationships
Table Relationships. Chapter 10
discusses table relationships. Define one type of relationship (one-to-one,
one-to-many, many-to-many and self-referencing relationships) and provide an
example of this type of data relationship. Respond to at least two of your
classmates’ postings.
INF 322 Week 4 DQ 2 Business Rules
Business Rules. There is a
great deal of information to consider when planning business rules. Now that
you have read Chapter 11, think of a business rule from a place you have been
employed at and use that in an example. This could be around defining user
access or field specific data, deciding if a field is required or if a field
has data validation. How effective was the application of the business rule?
Please be specific in your example. Respond to at least two of your classmates’
postings.
Week 5
INF 322 Week 5 DQ 1 Views
Views. There are three types of
views. Pick one of them and provide a definition, an example of that type of
view, and when you would use the view. If you have ever purchased anything
online and returned to the vendor Web site, many views of data will be
accessible when you login, including your previous orders, their catalog of
product, and even your shipping and credit card information. Think of examples
like this before you respond. Respond to at least two of your classmates’
postings.
INF 322 Week 5 DQ 2 Bending the Rules

discusses bending or breaking the rules. Can you think of a situation where you
would apply this practice? List an example and which rule you would be bending
or breaking. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
INF 322 Week 5 Final Project
Focus of the Final Project
1. Use the Access database you
created in Week 3: Customer Service Database 2. Output 3 queries using SQL code
and not the standard access view:
A query on all contacts in the
customers table showing first name, last name, address, e-mail address and
three additional fields from the table.
An update query that changes one or more customer records but not all records.
A delete query that removes one or more customer records but not all records.
An update query that changes one or more customer records but not all records.
A delete query that removes one or more customer records but not all records.
1. Using SQL
commands, add a new field called Birthday to the Customers table. Populate some
of the fields with data.
2. Report on
Customers in Database showing Names, State, and Phone Numbers.
3. Create a report
showing contact name and birthdays. Do not show records without a birthday.
4. Analyze the data
populated in the Database to show referential integrity. This includes a
statement showing what
the affected tables in each
dataset are and how they are impacted in the case of an addition of data or a
deletion of
data.
5. All
data and screen shots should be included in a Word document with a brief
explanation of the actions you
performed.
Carefully
review the Grading Rubric in the online classroom for the criteria that will be
