Description of this assignment: This assignment consists of two parts:

Part: Write SQL Queries to extract data from data tables and 2 questions on normalisation.

1. Why do we need to nomalise data in databases?.Briefly explain your answer.

2. The schema for the BankDBdatabase is given below.
branch(branch_name,branch_city, assets)
customer(customer_name,customer_street, customer_city)
loan(loan_number,branch_name, amount)
borrower(customer_name,loan_number)
account(account_number,branch_name, balance)
depositor(account_number,customer_name, )

Description of the schema

branch(branch_name,branch_city, assets)-keeps track of bank branch information
customer(customer_name, customer_street, customer_city)-keeps track of personal information about customers.
loan(loan_number,branch_name, amount)keeps track of loan information of each bank branch

account(account_number, branch_name, balance)keeps track of customer accounts
depositor(account_number, customer_name)-keeps track of customers who creates accounts with the bank. This is a bridging table for customer table and the accounts table.

Write SQL queries for the following questions(do not use QBE )and execute the queries by creating the above database on MS Access. Include screen shots of the outputs and all SQL statements you used to answer following questions (2(a) - 2(e)).
(3 marks for each screen shot & remaining marks for the SQL query)

a. Display the Branch name of all banksin the city "Ringwood". Your result set should be sorted on the alphabetical order of theBranch name.

b. Display all account numbers in the account table which are created at the branch "Chase shopping" and account balance is greater than $2000.

c. Display all account numbers in the account table which are created at the branch "Chase shopping" and situated in the city "Ringwood".
(Hint Join account and branch tables)

d. Count the number of customers registered with the branch" Chase shopping".
(Hint: Join 2 tables account, depositor)

e. Create a new table named "Loans" that includes Customer_Name, branch_name and amount(loan)
Hint : you need to join 3 tables depositor,borrower and loan
