The 2 database files and 1 word file for Exercise 2 – Creating Databases

Read below everything very carefully:

1. Create TWO database files including all the tables for the database designs included in the “Exercise 2 – Creating Databases” MS-Word file available on Canvas under Week 4 Module. Don’t enter any data.

2. Create the TWO relationship diagrams among the tables in the two database files created in step 1.

a. Note that every table must have the Primary Key correctly setup for the relationship diagram to be accurate.

b. All the attributes in each table must be clearly visible with no extra white space AND no scroll bar.

c. Make sure you save Each database file by prefixing the current name of the file with your FirstName_LastName. For example in my case, the first database file will be saved as Vipin_Arora_Class_Enrollments.accdb.

3. For each database file, make a snip of the relationship diagram using the “snipping tool” just like we did earlier for exercise 1. Paste the snipped image onto a MS-Word file. You will have TWO images for relationship diagrams from the two databases. Below every image include a caption with a Figure number. Save the word file as your FirstName_LastName_Exercise2.

4. Double check everything before submitting the assignment. Use the following checklist:

a. All tables must have a primary key.

b. All the attributes in each table must be clearly visible with no extra white space. The scroll bar should not be visible.

c. The relationship diagrams look professional. You should have a “1” on one side and the infinity symbol on the other side of the arrow connecting the primary key with the foreign key for every relationship.

d. There should not be any criss-crossing of the relationship lines connecting the tables.

e. All files are named as required.

5. Upload here the two database files and the MS-Word file with the snipped images. So, in total you will upload THREE files.

6. Make sure the Access database files you upload are not locked. The file extension must be .accdb and not .laccdb (the file icon must not have a lock sign)

Dalia worked on a contract basis as an auto mechanic for the clients of an auto repair shop. Whenever there was too much work for the employees of the shop, Dalia would receive a call and be assigned by the shop to do specific repairs on a particular vehicle.

 

Dalia’s specialty was rebuilding engines, and the firm would often contact her to handle complex breakdowns for which they did not have sufficient time, since she worked much fast than the other four mechanics it had on staff. When the job was completed, she was paid a commission for her work based on the amount charged to the client by the auto shop. This commission was established in advance in the contract Dalia was offered when she accepted the position.

 

During the time she was working, Dalia was paid weekly, was free to use the shop’s garage, and also could use whatever equipment and supplies were necessary to complete the job. In order to ensure a consistent quality among all of its workers as well as to be sure that it complied with all regulations that might govern the job, the firm’s head mechanic would check the car before the client was called to pick up the vehicle. This process ensured that clients saw all of the shop’s workers and contractors as equivalent quality.

Ione is asked to fill two new positions at her company. The first requires complicated accounting knowledge; the second has no prerequisites, but there also is no opportunity for advancement without a college degree, preferably in marketing or English. Ione wants to hire younger workers so they will be more likely to have a long tenure at the firm. She places an advertisement in the local public university’s alumni magazine, requesting resumes from “recent college graduates,” business or English degree preferred.

 

Ione’s coworker suggests that she place the advertisement in their mutual alma mater’s magazine, since many of the current employees graduated from there and employees from that university have proven knowledgeable and hard-working. Ione decides not to place advertisements at this time in the alumni magazines of the two local private universities, a Jesuit in-state university, and a historically black college that is very close to her offices and has a well-regarded business program. She figures she will get around to it if her first search is unsuccessful. Is Ion’s firm subject to any liability based on this advertisement?
