You have been named the network administrator for a large insurance firm. Your responsibility is to come up with a plan for the network infrastructure, which includes number of servers, network security devices, desktops, laptops and handheld devices. The plan should be carefully crafted to show all the necessary details in deploying the infrastructure (LANs, firewalls, routers, switches, IDS and sensors, servers, database servers, and addressing scheme) including specifics about the configurations. An understanding of the security issues the company is facing in order to conduct its business has to be reflected in the security aspects of the infrastructure (you should justify why a security measure is taken and how it will affect the enterprise business). The insurance firm has ten offices (satellite sites) located in ten different cities around United States. There is the headquarters which is located close to two of the other offices. The enterprise network consists of a main site, a backup site and ten satellite sites. All the satellite sites are connected to the main site as individual networks. The satellite sites are dealing with different specialized type of insurances such as house insurance (3 sites), auto insurance (4 sites) and commercial insurance (3 sites). The sites need to have access to the central database of the firm besides their own databases. Each of the sites has roughly one hundred employees except for the headquarters which has 350. Ten percent of the employees are agents who are actively going out in the field for claims or client recruitment. Given the nature of the business, all the employees require internet access. Email services are required as well. The company uses customized software to interface to the databases and has a web interface for the customer to interact with the company. Each side of the business has its own database, however, the management, which is located at the headquarters, must have access to all the information. The Human Resources department has its own database and so does the payroll department. Each of these departments has a staff of 15 people. Your plans should contain diagrams that describe the networks at the satelite sites, at the headquarters and how they are interconnected, including the backup site. The CTO of the firm has also decided to use virtualization and asked you to look into it. You are supposed to give a detailed plan regarding which portions of the network have to be targeted for virtualization and why. You are also supposed to lay off a plan on how to proceed with this technology and show how it would affect the infrastructure that you have previously designed without using virtualization.

Answer the following questions based on the above database:

     

  1. (4 Points) Create a view named “ATL_CHARTERS_V” that includes the following “For each charter of aircraft to Atlanta (STL), print the charter date, charter hours flown, and the corresponding customer last name, first name, area code, and phone number”. Your answer should include both the SQL statement for view creating along with the contents of the view (you get the contents of the view by select * from ATL-CHARTERS_V).

  1. (4 Points) Modify the MODEL table to add the following attribute: (Note: use ALTER TABLE and UPDATE commands for this question.)

Attribute name

Attribute Description

Attribute type

MOD_LIFT_ WEIGHT

Amount of weight each model can lift

Numeric

Once the attribute has been added, update the values of all rows as per following values:

Attribute values for MOD_LIFT_WEIGHT

10,000 for Mod_code = DC-90A

5,000 for Mod_code = MA23-250

20,000 for Mod_code = PA31-950

  1. (4 Points) Create a trigger named trg_charter_hours that will automatically update the AIRCRAFT table after a new CHARTER row is added. Use the CHARTER table’s CHAR_HOURS_FLOWN to update the AIRCRAFT table’s AC_TTAF, AC_TTEL, and AC_TTER values.

The meaning for the AIRCRAFT table columns are as follows:

AC_TTAF: Total time on the air frame

AC_TTEL: Total time on the left engine (Also used to record single engine hours) AC_TTER: Total time on the right engine.

So in the trigger, you need to increase all of them with value of CHAR_HOURS_FLOWN

  1. (4 Points) Create a trigger named trg_cust_balance that will automatically update the AC_CUSTOMER table’s CUS_BALANCE before a new CHARTER row is added. Use the CHARTER table’s CHAR_TOT_CHG as the update source (Assume that all charter charges are charged to the customer balance.) In addition to the CHAR_TOT_CHG, add $25 for every quart of oil

used on the charter.

  1. (4 Points) Create a stored procedure to update model charge per mile attribute. Procedure takes the model number as a parameter. The procedure increases the charge for this model by 25%.
  1. (4 Points) Create a stored procedure that will take an Employee number and percentage, then update the corresponding employee’s hourly salary by the input percentage (increase the hourly salary, so you are giving the employee a raise).

Hint: Alter Employee table to add the hourly_salary field, update it with a value of 30 for all rows in the table, before creating the procedure.

When preparing its financial statements at the end of 2018, Bestway Retail Inc. discovered an error in accounting for inventory.

When Bestway started to purchase merchandise from a new supplier, it expensed all transportation costs rather than capitalizing them as a cost of the inventory. It estimated that a portion of the transportation costs were erroneously expensed in 2017 and 2018. Transportation costs were $327,000 and $334,000 in fiscal 2017 and 2018, respectively. The company expensed all of the transportation costs in the year incurred, when it should have capitalized a portion of the costs as ending inventory. Bestway determined that 90% of the inventory purchases in 2017 was sold in 2017 and 92% of the inventory purchased in 2018 was sold in 2018. Assume all inventory on hand at the beginning of the year is sold during the year. Assume no tax implications.
