Lab 2: Work with Dictionary and Create Relational

Database (60 pts.)

iLAB OVERVIEW
Scenario and Summary
In this lab, you will prepare a Data Dictionary based on the list of elements. Also, your task will be
determined the tables, their relationships, primary and foreign keys. Based on this analysis, you will
create Database Schema, relational tables, Entity Relational Diagram (ERD), establish connection
to your local MySQL Server, create physical database and insert data to the tables.
MySQL provides two primary types of file management: dictionary-managed files and MySQL
Workbench-managed files. As part of this iLab, you will need to supply some information as to how
you would use both of these approaches, and you will have to discuss some of the advantages of
each.
For Step 3, you need access to your database instance. If you have any difficulties connecting your
database instance, let's take error messages, screen shots, descriptions of the situation to the graded
threads and work as a team to resolve issues.
Now you are ready to proceed.

iLAB STEPS
STEP 1: Create Data Dictionary for provided elements
As the DBA for your company, you have decided to install a new version of the MySQL database to
replace the current database version being used. The old database has become a constant headache
and seems to be causing an overload on the disk drive's I/O channels. Further analysis has also
shown that two primary large tables are the main points of access. The new tables will be DEPT,
EMPLOYEE, and BONUS.

Describe how you plan to compile the Data Dictionary and decide on the tables structure
with the new MySQL database.

Given list of elements:

STEP 2: Create SCHEMA and database tables in MySQL Workbench

2.a Create SCHEMA
a) Launch MySQL Workbench;
b) Click File and choose New Model;
c) Add Diagram:
Name: new schema name;
d) Press Enter and new SCHEMA will be added;
2.b Create tables
a) In Model overview (top part of the screen) Click Add Diagram; Navigation pane shows new
schema in Catalog Tree;
b) Place a new table on the free part of screen;
c) Fill:
Table Name:
Column Name, Datatype; PK; NN; UQ;BIN; UN; ZF;AI; Default;
4

Press Enter
d) Continue to add all tables;

Figure 3.1 Setup New Connection Form
5

Important note:
The Setup New Connection form features a Configure Server Management button (bottom left) that
is required for the MySQL connection to perform tasks that requires shell access to the host. For
example, starting/stopping the MySQL instance or editing the configuration file Fill out the
connection details and optionally click Configure Server Management to execute the Server
Management wizard. Click OK to save the connection.
6

Important
All connections opened by MySQL Workbench automatically set the client character set to utf8.
Manually changing the client character set, such as using SET NAMES ..., may cause MySQL
Workbench to not correctly display the characters.
c) New connections are added to the Home page as a tile, and multiple connections may be
opened simultaneously in MySQL Workbench.
