Dear teachers,

Sorry for the cross posting. I was wondering if anybody is using a Raspberry Pi for coding or any other application in schools ( either primary or secondary). I would really appreciate any assistance with this. 

thanks in advance

Subject: [Informatics] Apply Your Knowledge

Hi Matt

I've attached my solution for A1 Software Supplies. Note that there may be data slightly changed because I think there was a duplicate or incorrect data in one of the fields. Can't remember which, but I do recall there was a slightly fishy record somewhere in the sample data.

There's an excel spreadsheet that contains the UNF (not normalised table) and my 3NF normalised tables (along with a DSD). Technically I've moved postcodes into their own table to show a difference between 2NF and 3NF, but I am fine with people who would keep them in the same table (though I think they are at risk of creating anomalous data - e.g. Horsham 3400 for one record and Horsham 3402 for another through a typographical error).

One can show their students the difference between normalised and unnormalised data in terms of the number of records required. 768 records (blank or not, they are still stored) for unnormalised and 384 for normalised. A significant saving that should lead to more efficient and effective query writing.

Then once I created the 3NF database sample data in Excel, I created a sample normalised DSD (see the tab in Excel) which can then be created in Microsoft Access using Database Tools-Relationships.  This should be completed BEFORE data is added to the tables.  Data to the tables needs to be added in the order of the tables that are the ONE in the one-to-many relationships entered first.  The order that I updated data was: Postcodes, Software, Customers, Orders, Order Details.

The MS Access solutions are then provided to the queries (See attachment).  Here is the results for those interested:

Obviously NO ONE should be using this as their SAC for Year 12, due to the solutions being freely available.  But I do believe this task is a very worthwhile one for students to complete as a practice SAC.

Happy to also provide Pizzas on the Go if people need it (though the solution is pretty much completed throughout the chapter).

Hi Everyone,

Obviously by my request I am new to this game (1st year IT) but wondering if there is anyone willing to send through an example of Chapter 1 Apply your Knowledge -specifically 2D and 2E with the Access query design?

Thanks in Anticipation.

Kind Regards,

Matt Olesen.
