REM This group of the setup scripts should be used for
REM the starting point of the Oracle Interactive
REM Workbooks. Note that because of some last minute
REM upgrades that were put into the student.tab script
REM after the books went to print, the column and table
REM comments that these script create may not match
REM exactly those that are shown in the table
REM descriptions provided in some of the Oracle
REM Interactive Workbooks.

1. Steps to create the student schema
*** ********************************* ***
A. Prior to creating the student schema objects and loading data into them, it
is necessary to create the student schema (a place/account/user in the
database
that will hold the objects and data). The default account and password for
this book are STUDENT and LEARN respectively.
B. If a DBA is managing your Oracle database, ask them to create an account
for you named student with a password of learn.
C. If you need to create the account yourself, follow these steps
C.1 In SQL*Plus, connect to your database as SYSTEM (the default password is
MANAGER)
C.2 Issue the following statement to find the names of the tablespaces in
your database.
Note: Tablespaces are areas that hold database objects in an Oracle
database. If you
are not familiar with tablespaces right now, don't worry.

SELECT tablespace_name
FROM dba_tablespaces
ORDER BY tablespace_name;

C.3 In the resulting list you need to find two particular tablespaces
C.3.a A tablespace used as the default place to store your objects. The
name of this tablespace will vary depending on your operating
system platform and your Oracle database version. Your DEFAULT
TABLESPACE will have a name similar to one of the following:

USERS
USER_DATA
USR
 C.3.b A tablespace known as the TEMPORARY TABLESPACE. Typical names for
TEMPORARY TABLESPACEs are:

TEMP
TEMPORARY
TEMPORARY_DATA

C.4 Once you have found your DEFAULT TABLESPACE and TEMPORARY TABLESPACE
names
write them down for the next step.
C.4.a Note that the most common two names will be USERS and TEMP.

D. Now you are ready to create the STUDENT database account.

D.1 Still logged on as SYSTEM/MANAGER from step C above, issue the following
statement, substituting the tablespace names from steps C.3.a and C.3.b:

CREATE USER student IDENTIFIED by learn

DEFAULT TABLESPACE <name from step C.3.a>
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE <name from step C.3.b>;

D.2 Your final statement should look similar to the following:

CREATE USER student IDENTIFIED by learn

DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;

E. Now you need to give the student account the ability to use the database.
E.1 Issue the following statement while connected through SQL*Plus as
SYSTEM/MANAGER:

GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO student;

F. Test that you can connect as the student account.

F.1 Issue the following statements in SQL*Plus to connect as student

CONNECT student/learn
SHOW USER

F.2 After issuing the SHOW USER command, you should receive the following
message:

USER is "STUDENT"

*** ************************************************************** ***

2. Steps to build student schema objects and load associated data
*** ************************************************************** ***

A. Open SQL*Plus and connect to the database as STUDENT/LEARN

B. Write down the location of the create and insert scripts
Note: those scripts should be located in the same place as
the readme.txt file you are reading right now.
B.2 A common place that you may have your scripts is C:\guest\schemasetup.
C. Using the C:\guest\schemasetup directory as an example, issue the following
in SQL*Plus:

@C:\guest\schemasetup\createStudent.sql

D. When the script is done running, it will show a list of counts

 representing the number of rows it created for each table. Compare
that list on screen with the following list. The two lists should
match.

Count of COURSE Table: 30

Count of ENROLLMENT Table: 226

Count of GRADE Table: 2004

Count of GRADE_CONVERSION Table: 15

Count of GRADE_TYPE Table: 6

Count of GRADE_TYPE_WEIGHT Table: 300

Count of INSTRUCTOR Table: 10

Count of SECTION Table: 78

Count of SECTION Table: 268

Count of SECTION Table: 227

*** *********************************** ***

3. Steps to rebuild the student schema
*** *********************************** ***
A. Following these steps will rebuild the objects in the student schema.
You may wish to perform this step if you want to return the student
schema objects to their pristine state. This is especially useful after
you have worked through the chapters that focus on data manipulation.
For example, if you have just been working on DELETing data, you may
wish to restore that data to practice SELECTing the data.
B. Open SQL*Plus and connect to the database as STUDENT/LEARN
C. Write down the location of the create and insert scripts
Note: those scripts should be located in the same place as
the readme.txt file you are reading right now.
B.2 A common place that you may have your scripts is C:\guest\schemasetup.
D. Using the C:\guest\schemasetup directory as an example, issue the following
in SQL*Plus:

@C:\guest\schemasetup\rebuildStudent.sql

Caution: Running this script removes all the objects created for
work with these books. At the beginning of this script,
you are prompted with the opportunity to stop processing
or continue processing. To stop the removal process you
should press CTRL+C; to continue, press <RETURN>.

E. When the script is done running, it will show a list of counts

representing the number of rows it created for each table. Compare
that list on screen with the following list. The two lists should
match.

Count of COURSE Table: 30

 Count of ENROLLMENT Table: 226

Count of GRADE Table: 2004

Count of GRADE_CONVERSION Table: 15

Count of GRADE_TYPE Table: 6

Count of GRADE_TYPE_WEIGHT Table: 300

Count of INSTRUCTOR Table: 10

Count of SECTION Table: 78

Count of SECTION Table: 268

Count of SECTION Table: 227

4. List of files used in the create and rebuild steps
*** ************************************************** ***
A. The following is a list of the files used in the
steps 1 - 3 above.
A.1 createStudent.sql The primary script that runs the
other create scripts
A.2 dropStudent.sql A script that drops student objects
A.3 finalCount.sql Provides a count of rows in the
student schema tables
*A.4 insertCourse.sql Inserts COURSE data
