ProposalProposal
• My Initial Proposal was for a weather database for the Month of April for Fort Kent, However, I was having so much fun creating it, I also added the month of March to my database.
Database LayoutDatabase Layout
• My database is comprise of three tables,• With the names of: location, march, and
april. The structure of which, should become obvious in the following slides.
• After sketching the database design out, I created the database using the following steps. My database can be found on my littleblack server.
Creating View for UsersCreating View for Users
• After testing my database, I then created a series of views for my users, using the following steps. These are just two, out of
• the four that I created for my users.
Things I learnedThings I learned
• I found out I really like databases! There is a tremendous amount of skill involved to be able to build and manipulated databases correctly.
Problem AreasProblem Areas
• The biggest problem that I had concerns using Datetime data types. Under SQL Server 2005, Datetime produces the date and time, along with minutes and seconds. To get around this, I ended up in my views converting the dates to CHAR.
• This nagging problem has been corrected in SQL Server 2007, with the DATE data type
