Concept explainers
a.
Stored procedures:
- A procedure is a collection of procedural and SQL statements.
- A procedure may have input parameter or output parameter or sometimes both the parameters.
- It is declared with a unique name with a unit of procedural code using the proprietary RDBMS and it is invoked by a host language library routine.
Syntax for stored procedure:
CREATE FUNCTION fun_name(argument IN data-type)RETRUN data-type[IS]
BEGIN
PL/SQL statements;
Return (value or expression);
END;
Explanation of Solution
Query to create stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DISP_OWNER (I_OWNER_NUM IN OWNER.OWNER_NUM%TYPE) AS
I_FIRST_NAME OWNER.FIRST_NAME%TYPE;
I_LAST_NAME OWNER.LAST_NAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
INTO I_FIRST_NAME, I_LAST_NAME
FROM OWNER
WHERE OWNER_NUM = I_OWNER_NUM;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_OWNER_NUM);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_FIRST_NAME);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_LAST_NAME);
END;
/
Explanation:
- The above query is used to create a procedure named “DISP_OWNER” to select the records in the “OWNER” table.
- Change the “OWNER_NUM” into “I_OWNER_NUM” and place the “FIRST_NAME” and “LAST_NAME” values into “I_FIRST_NAME” and “I_LAST_NAME”.
- After placing these values, display the “I_OWNER_NUM”, “I_FIRST_NAME”, and “I_LAST_NAME” from the “OWNER” table.
- Once the stored procedure is created, it needs to be executed.
Query to view the owner name and ID:
BEGIN
DISP_OWNER ('AN175');
END;
The above query is used to view the owner ID, first name, and last name for the number “AN175”.
Output:
AN175

Query to create stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DISP_CONDO_UNIT
(I_CONDO_ID IN CONDO_UNIT.CONDO_ID%TYPE) AS
I_LOCATION_NUM CONDO_UNIT.LOCATION_NUM%TYPE;
I_UNIT_NUM CONDO_UNIT.UNIT_NUM%TYPE;
I_OWNER_NUM CONDO_UNIT.OWNER_NUM%TYPE;
I_FIRST_NAME OWNER.FIRST_NAME%TYPE;
I_LAST_NAME OWNER.LAST_NAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT LOCATION_NUM, UNIT_NUM, CONDO_UNIT.OWNER_NUM, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
INTO I_LOCATION_NUM, I_UNIT_NUM, I_OWNER_NUM, I_FIRST_NAME, I_LAST_NAME
FROM CONDO_UNIT, OWNER
WHERE CONDO_UNIT.OWNER_NUM = OWNER.OWNER_NUM
AND CONDO_ID = I_CONDO_ID;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_CONDO_ID);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_LOCATION_NUM);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_UNIT_NUM);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_OWNER_NUM);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_FIRST_NAME);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I_LAST_NAME);
END;
/
Explanation:
- The above query is used to create a procedure named “DISP_CONDO_UNIT” to select the records in the “CONDO_UNIT” and “OWNER” tables.
- Change the “CONDO_ID” into “I_CONDO_ID” and place the “LOCATION_NUM”, “UNIT_NUM”, “OWNER_NUM”, “FIRST_NAME”, and “LAST_NAME” values into “I_LOCATION_NUM”, “I_UNIT_NUM”, “I_OWNER_NUM”, “I_FIRST_NAME”, and “I_ LAST_NAME”.
- After placing these values, display the “I_CONDO_ID”, I_LOCATION_NUM”, “I_UNIT_NUM”, “I_OWNER_NUM”, “I_FIRST_NAME”, and “I_ LAST_NAME” from the “CONDO_UNIT” and “OWNER” tables.
- Once the stored procedure is created, it needs to be executed.
Query to view a result:
BEGIN
DISP_CONDO_UNIT(3);
END;
The above query is used to view the condo Id, location number, unit number, owner number, first name and last name for the condo id “3”.
Output:

c.
Query to insert the value:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ADD_OWNER
(I_OWNER_NUM IN OWNER.OWNER_NUM%TYPE,
I_LAST_NAME IN OWNER.LAST_NAME%TYPE,
I_FIRST_NAME IN OWNER.FIRST_NAME%TYPE,
I_ADDRESS IN OWNER.ADDRESS%TYPE,
I_CITY IN OWNER.CITY%TYPE,
I_STATE IN OWNER.STATE%TYPE,
I_POSTAL_CODE IN OWNER.POSTAL_CODE%TYPE) AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO OWNER (OWNER_NUM, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, POSTAL_CODE)
VALUES
(I_OWNER_NUM, I_LAST_NAME, I_FIRST_NAME, I_ADDRESS, I_CITY, I_STATE,
I_POSTAL_CODE);
END;
/
Explanation:
The above query is used to create a stored procedure named “ADD_OWNER” to insert the new record in the “OWNER” table. Once the stored procedure is created, it needs to be executed.
Query to execute the stored procedure:
BEGIN
ADD_OWNER ('AZ245', 'William', 'John', '125 North St.', 'Mills', 'SC', 29707);
END;
After executing the above query, the new record is inserted into the table “OWNER”.
Output:
Query to view the contents in “OWNER” table is as follows:
SELECT * FROM OWNER;
Screenshot of output
Explanation of Solution
d.
Query to update stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CHG_OWNER
(I_OWNER_NUM IN OWNER.OWNER_NUM%TYPE,
I_LAST_NAME IN OWNER.LAST_NAME%TYPE) AS
BEGIN
UPDATE OWNER
SET LAST_NAME = I_LAST_NAME
WHERE OWNER_NUM = I_OWNER_NUM;
END;
/
Explanation:
The above query is used to create a stored procedure named “CHG_OWNER” to update the last name of the owner whose number is stored in “I_OWNER_NUM” to the value presently found in “I_OWNER_NUM”, it needs to be executed.
Query to execute the stored procedure:
BEGIN
CHG_OWNER ('AZ245', 'Andrew');
END;
After executing the above query, the last name is changed in the table “OWNER”.
Output:
Query to view the contents in “OWNER” table is as follows:
SELECT * FROM OWNER;
Screenshot of output
Explanation of Solution
e.
Query to delete the value:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DELETE_OWNER
(I_OWNER_NUM IN OWNER.OWNER_NUM%TYPE) AS
BEGIN
DELETE
FROM OWNER
WHERE OWNER_NUM = I_OWNER_NUM;
END;
/
Explanation:
- The above query is used to create a procedure named “DELETE_OWNER” to delete a record in the “OWNER” table.
- Once the record is deleted, a procedure should create owner number as a parameter.
- Once the stored procedure is created, it needs to be executed.
Query to execute the stored procedure:
BEGIN
DELETE_OWNER ('AZ245');
END;
The above query is used to delete the order number AZ245.
Output:
Query to view the contents in “OWNER” table after deleting the order number AZ245 as follows:
SELECT * FROM OWNER;
Screenshot of output

- The following is code for a disc golf program written in C++: // player.h #ifndef PLAYER_H #define PLAYER_H #include <string> #include <iostream> class Player { private: std::string courses[20]; // Array of course names int scores[20]; // Array of scores int gameCount; // Number of games played public: Player(); // Constructor void CheckGame(int playerId, const std::string& courseName, int gameScore); void ReportPlayer(int playerId) const; }; #endif // PLAYER_H // player.cpp #include "player.h" #include <iomanip> Player::Player() : gameCount(0) {} void Player::CheckGame(int playerId, const std::string& courseName, int gameScore) { for (int i = 0; i < gameCount; ++i) { if (courses[i] == courseName) { // If course has been played, then check for minimum score if (gameScore < scores[i]) { scores[i] = gameScore; // Update to new minimum…arrow_forwardIn this assignment, you will implement a multi-threaded program (using C/C++) that will check for Prime Numbers and Palindrome Numbers in a range of numbers. Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…arrow_forwardHow do you distinguish between hardware and a software problem?
