The document provides instructions for normalizing a vehicle database table. It has the student create new tables to store make, model, drive, and fuel type data separately. It then has the student populate these new tables, create a normalized vehicle table with foreign keys, and add indexes to improve query performance. Finally, it asks the student to write queries against the normalized schema.

Name: Steve Dolan


1. Retrieve the average MPG Highway for all vehicles.
Paste the SQL and results below.
Select AVG(mpgHighway) from `vehicle`
Result : 32.688334334353904
2. Retrieve the top 10 (best) average MPG City values by
vehicle model. Group the average MPG values by vehicle
model. Exclude vehicles with a MPG city value of 0 as these are
electric cars. Example: The average MPG city of all Ford
Mustangs across all years would be 1 of the rows returned.
Paste the SQL below.
Select AVG(mpgCity) as avgValue, model from
(select * from vehicle where `mpgCity`!= 0) as vehicle
Group By `model`
order by avgValue desc
Limit 10
3. Retrieve the count of models produced by each make in
1997. Order the results by make. Paste the SQL and results
below.
Select count(*) , make from `vehicle`
where year = 1997
group by `make`
order by make
4. Retrieve the count of models produced by each make in only
2002. Order the results by make. Exclude makes who only
produce less than 5 models by using a having clause.
Paste the SQL and results below.
Select count(*) as count , make from `vehicle`
where year = 2002
group by `make`
having count > 5
order by make

In you example database look at the vehicle table. Like the


cableRawData table the data is not normalized. For this section
you will be normalizing this table.
5. The columns with repeating data will be moved to separate
tables. Create tables for the following columns: make, model,
drive, fuelType. Name the tables vehicleMake, vehicleModel,
vehicleDrive and vehicleFuelType. Set the id fields of these
table auto increment. Table type should be INNOdb.
Paste the SQL below.
CREATE TABLE vehicleMake
(vehicleMakeId int not null auto_increment,
make varchar(255),
primary key (vehicleMakeId))
ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE vehicleModel
(vehicleModelId int not null auto_increment,
model varchar(255),
primary key (vehicleModelId))
ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE vehicleDrive
(vehicleDriveId int not null auto_increment,
drive varchar(255),
primary key (vehicleDriveId))
ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE vehicleFuelType
(vehicleFuelType int not null auto_increment,
fuelType varchar(255),
primary key (vehicleFuelType))
ENGINE=InnoDB;
6. Create unique indexes on the name columns for the 4 tables
we just created.
Paste the SQL below.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX vehicleMakeId
ON vehicleMake (vehicleMakeId);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX vehicleFuelType


ON vehicleFuelType (vehicleFuelType);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX vehicleModelId
ON vehicleModel (vehicleModelId);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX vehicleDriveId
ON vehicleDrive (vehicleDriveId);
7. Populate the 4 new tables with the appropriate data using
the select into statement with the distinct function.
Paste the SQL below.

8. Create a new table called vehicleNormal. Include the


following columns: vehicleId, makeId, modelId, Year, cylinders,
driveId, mpgHighway, mpgCity and fuelTypeId. Ids should be
integers. MPG should be decimals.
Paste the SQL below.
CREATE TABLE vehicleNormal
(vehicleId int not null auto_increment,
makeId int (11) default null,
modelId int(11) default null,
Year int(11) default null,
cylinders varchar(255) default null,
driveId int(11) default null,
mpgHighway decimal (10,2) default null,
mpgCity decimal (10,2) default null,
fuelTypeId int(11) default null,
primary key (vehicleId)
unique key (vehicleId))
ENGINE=InnoDB;
DEFAULT CHARSET= latin1;

9. To increase the speed of the queries we will run in the next


question, create four indexes on the vehicle table for the
columns: make, model, drive, fuelType.

10. Populate vehicleNormal by joining the vehicle,


vehicleMake, vehicleModel, vehicleDrive and vehicleFuelType
tables.
Paste the SQL below.

11. Write a select statement to return the following fields:


vehicle Id, make, model, year, drive, fuel type. Do not use the
vehicle table, instead use the 5 new tables we just created.
Paste the SQL and results below.
