Unit 5 Assignment: Migrating Flat File Data into Relational Tables
Outcomes addressed in this activity:
Unit Outcomes:
●
Use a variety of methods to populate a database table with data.
●
Examine the data placed into the table using SQL queries.
Course Outcome:
IT234-2: Explore Data Definition Language (DDL) statements to define the database
structure or schema.
Purpose
There are varieties of ways to get data inserted into a table. One way entails manual data
entry through use of the Designer tools contained in Microsoft SQL Server Management
Studio (SSMS). Another way involves importing the data from an Excel file. You will import
the Movies flat file dataset into a temporary table in the Movies database. The data from the
temporary table will then be migrated to the normalized tables using a provided data
migration script. Use the import instructions document to accomplish this task.
After you have entered new data, you will query the table, based on specific data requested.
You can leverage the
revised database design diagram
as a resource for this assignment.
Download and use this diagram for your analysis.
Assignment Instructions
Before completing the Assignment, please watch the Unit 5 videos covering facets
associated with querying and data manipulation. Navigate to the Academic Tools area of
this course and select Library then Required Readings to access your texts and videos.
Part 1: Establish a New Movies Database Instance
Create a new version of the Movies database called “Movies_DB” using the following SQL
script:
●
Movies_DB Database Creation Script
The following document provides instructions on executing the script in a Microsoft SQL
Server Management Studio (SSMS) query window:
●
Instructions for Establishing the Movies_DB Database
Part 2: Manually Populate the Normalized Tables
Incorporate the first record from the Movies flat file dataset into the normalized tables in the
Movies database. Use the Designer tools from the Microsoft SQL Server Management
Studio (SSMS) to accomplish this task. Instructions for the manual data entry are provided
in the following document:
●
Instructions for Manual Entry of Data Into the Movies_DB Database
Only enter the first record from the flat file dataset manually
.
Part 3: Import the Flat File Dataset into the Database
Follow the directions for establishing a temporary table called Movies_Import_Temp in the
Movies_DB database. The instruction document and flat file dataset, which is a comma-
separated values (CSV) file, are provided below.

Part 4: Migrate Data to the Normalized Tables Using a Migration Script
After the manual insertions are completed, migrate the remaining data contained in the
Movies_Import_Temp table using the provided data migration script. The data migration
script along with Instructions for executing it in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
(SSMS) query window are provided below.
●
Instructions for Executing the Data Migration Script
●
Data Migration Script
Briefly describe the purpose and function of the individual INSERT statements in the
provided data migration script.
Part 5: Contrast Data Migration Techniques
Write one or more paragraphs contrasting the techniques (i.e., manual versus scripted)
used to populate the normalized tables. Provide pros and cons for each technique.
Part 6: Use basic SELECT statement to retrieve data from tables in the Movies database.
Create SQL statements to retrieve data from the Movies Database for the following. Create
screenshots to show each SQL query and the results of each query execution.
1.
List all of the directors with the last name of "Coppola."
Expected Output
2.
Show the last names of movie producers whose last names start with the letter M.
Expected Output
3.
List all movie titles and ratings for movies with a rating greater than or equal to 8.
Show the results in alphabetical order by movie title.
Expected Output
4.
List all movie titles and ratings for movies with a rating between 5 and 6. Show the
results in alphabetical order by movie title.
Expected Output
5.
Show the producer records that do not have first name values. In other words, the
first name value is NULL for these producer records. Present the results in
alphabetical order.
Expected Output
Assignment Requirements
