You Are Hired By Adventureworks As a Database Administrator

You are hired by AdventureWorks as a Database administrator. You are required to integrate some Database script solutions into their existing database (AdventureWorksLT2012) to modify data from within the database. Using the AdventureWorksLT2012 database, write a SQL DML statement that will modify the data. Base it on the following requirements: Query #1: Write a script to create a new Product Category called ‘Shoes’. This category belongs under the category Clothing. Only ParentProductCategoryID and Name are required. The system will assign values for the other fields. Use a subquery to find the value for ParentProductCategoryID. Query #2: Provide a SELECT statement to show that the new Product Category Shoes was inserted. Query #3: Add the following two products in the data base for your new Shoes category. Insert other appropriate column values as necessary. Use a subquery to find the ProductCategoryID for Shoes. Query #4: Provide a SELECT statement to show only the newly inserted products using a subquery to find the ProductCategoryID for Shoes. Name Product Category Product Number Standard Cost List Price Sell Start Date Men’s Black Size 10 Shoes SH-..99 Today’s date Woman’s White Size 38 Shoes SH-..99 Today’s date Query #5: Utilizing a subquery, provide a script to display all product fields for products in the Mountain Frames Product category that are silver. Look at the List Price. Query #6: Utilizing a subquery, increase the list price by 5% for products in the Mountain Frames Product category that are silver. Rerun Query #5 and verify that the price has changed. Query #7: Utilizing a subquery, change the unit price discount in the Sales Order Details table on all orders of products of an ordered quantity of more than 15 to that of the largest discount ever given on any product. Query #8: You have decided against the new Fast-Food category. Provide SQL scripts to delete the Fast-Food category as well as any products assigned to that category. Use a subquery to delete the products.

SQL Scripting for Inventory and Order Management in AdventureWorksLT2012

The AdventureWorksLT2012 database provides a comprehensive platform for managing product inventories, categories, and sales transactions. For a competent database administrator, efficiently modifying and querying data within this database is essential for maintaining data integrity and supporting business operations. This paper addresses specific SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) tasks including creating new categories, inserting products, updating prices, and deleting categories, all within the context of AdventureWorksLT2012. The outlined scripts demonstrate practical use of subqueries and standard SQL syntax, reflecting real-world database administration techniques.

Creating a New Product Category ‘Shoes’

The first task involves creating a new product category named ‘Shoes’ under the existing category ‘Clothing’. Since only the ParentProductCategoryID and Name are required, the script employs a subquery to dynamically determine the ParentProductCategoryID associated with ‘Clothing’ in the ProductCategory table:



INSERT INTO ProductCategory (ParentProductCategoryID, Name)


VALUES (


(SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name = 'Clothing'),


'Shoes'


);

This insert statement utilizes a subquery to prevent the need for hardcoded IDs, ensuring referential integrity and flexibility if category IDs change.

Verifying the Insertion of ‘Shoes’ Category

To confirm the successful creation of the new category, a SELECT statement retrieves the record with the name ‘Shoes’:



SELECT * FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name = 'Shoes';

Adding New Products to the ‘Shoes’ Category

Next, two products are added to the new ‘Shoes’ category. The INSERT statement includes appropriate values for each column, with a subquery used to find the ProductCategoryID for ‘Shoes’:



INSERT INTO Product (ProductNumber, Name, StandardCost, ListPrice, SellStartDate, ProductCategoryID)


VALUES


('SH-2099', 'Men’s Black Size 10 Shoes', 20.00, 99.00, GETDATE(), (SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Shoes')),


('SH-3099', 'Women’s White Size 38 Shoes', 20.00, 99.00, GETDATE(), (SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Shoes'));

Fetching Newly Inserted Products

To display only the newly inserted products, a SELECT statement utilizes a subquery to identify the ProductCategoryID for ‘Shoes’:



SELECT * FROM Product WHERE ProductCategoryID = (SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Shoes');

Retrieving Silver Mountain Frames Products

The next task involves fetching all product details for products in the ‘Mountain Frames’ category that are silver. This involves a subquery to identify the correct ProductCategoryID:



SELECT * FROM Product


WHERE ProductCategoryID = (


SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Mountain Frames'


)


AND Color = 'Silver';

Increasing Price of Silver Mountain Frames Products

To increase the list price by 5%, an UPDATE statement references the same subquery to specify relevant products. The statement adjusts ListPrice accordingly:



UPDATE Product


SET ListPrice = ListPrice * 1.05


WHERE ProductCategoryID = (SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Mountain Frames')


AND Color = 'Silver';

Re-running the previous SELECT statement confirms the price increase.

Adjusting Discount Based on Largest Discount

In the SalesOrderDetail table, to set the UnitPriceDiscount for all orders with quantity exceeding 15, the maximum discount given across all products is first identified via a subquery, then used to update relevant records:



UPDATE SalesOrderDetail


SET UnitPriceDiscount = (


SELECT MAX(UnitPriceDiscount) FROM SalesOrderDetail


)


WHERE Quantity > 15;

Removing the ‘Fast-Food’ Category and Products

To delete the ‘Fast-Food’ category and all products assigned to it, a subquery is used in delete statements. First, retrieve the ProductCategoryID> for ‘Fast-Food’, then delete associated products:



DELETE FROM Product


WHERE ProductCategoryID = (SELECT ProductCategoryID FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Fast-Food');


DELETE FROM ProductCategory WHERE Name='Fast-Food';

This approach ensures referential dependencies are maintained, and no orphaned product records remain.

Conclusion

This compilation of SQL scripts demonstrates proficient management of database objects within the AdventureWorksLT2012 environment. Employing subqueries enhances flexibility and accuracy when referencing related data. These scripts provide a foundational toolkit for ongoing administrative tasks, emphasizing data integrity, consistency, and efficient modifications aligned with standard SQL best practices.
