Colonial Adventure Tours Case

  • The owner of Colonial Adventure Tours knows that being able to run queries is one of the most important benefits of using a DBMS. In the following exercises, you will use the data in the Colonial Adventure Tours database shown in Figures 1-15 through 1-19 in Chapter 1. (If you use a computer to complete these exercises, use a copy of the Colonial Adventure Tours database so you will still have the original data when you complete Chapter 3 exercises.) In each step, use QBE to obtain the desired results. You can use the query feature in a DBMS to complete the exercises using a computer, or you can simply write a description of how you would complete the task. Check with your instructor if you are uncertain about which approach to take.
  • Save the file on your computer with your last name in the file name. (Example: case_1-1 _Jones.doc)
  • Click the Choose File button to find and select your saved document.
  1. List the name of each trip that does not start in New Hampshire (NH).
  2. List the name and start location for each trip that has the type Biking.
  3. List the name of each trip that has the type Hiking and that has a distance greater than six miles.
  4. List the name of each trip that has the type Paddling or that is located in Vermont (VT).
  5. How many trips have a type of Hiking or Biking?
  6. List the trip name, type, and maximum group size for all trips that have Susan Kiley as a guide.
  7. List the trip name and state for each trip that occurs during the Summer season. Sort the results by trip name within state.
  8. List the name of each trip that has the type Hiking and that is guided by Rita Boyers.
  9. How many trips originate in each state?
  10. How many reservations include a trip with a price that is greater than $20 but less than $75?
  11. List the reservation ID, customer last name, and the trip name for all reservations where the number of persons included in the reservation is greater than four.
  12. List the trip name, the guide’s first name, and the guide’s last name for all trips that originate in New Hampshire (NH). Sort the results by guide’s last name within trip name.
  13. List the reservation ID, customer number, customer last name, and customer first name for all trips that occur in July 2018.
  14. Colonial Adventure Tours calculates the total price of a trip by adding the trip price plus other fees and multiplying the result by the number of persons included in the reservation. List the reservation ID, trip name, customer’s last name, customer’s first name, and total cost for all trips where the number of persons is greater than four.
  15. Create a new table named Hiking that includes all columns in the Reservation table where the trip type is Hiking.
  16. Use an update query to change the OtherFees value in the Hiking table to $5.00 for all records on which the OtherFees value is $0.00.
  17. Use a delete query to delete all trips in the Hiking table where the trip date is 6/12/2018.
  18. One of the reservations agents at Colonial Adventure Tours created the query shown in Figure 2-49 to list each trip name and the last name and first name of each corresponding guide. The query results included 410 records, and he knows that this result is incorrect. Why did he get so many records? What should he change in the query design to get the correct query results?

C++ language, only math equation, no code.

A Box on a slope slides under the following force F = m*g*sin(theta) - 0.2v(t). Assume m = 1kg and g=10 and theta = 30'. We want to simulate the slide using dt = 0.1 second interval. This means update frame rate is 10 per second. Initial speed is 0. After 2 seconds we like to know what is the current position and speed of the box. We want to do this using Explicit Euler(EE), Semi-Explicit Euler(SE), and Verlet Method for updating at each frame.

a) What are the update equations for EE method?

b) What are the update equations for SE method?

c) What is the update equation for Verlet method? How do you choose the initial first 2 positions in this method?

d) Provide a table showing updates per frame for each method. This means there are 3 columns, one for each method, and there are 20 rows for 20 frames to comprise 2 seconds of updates. Which method is more out of sync with the other 2 methods?

e) What is the maximum speed of decent of the box on the slope? why? (hint. Use analytical way to argue what is the maximum speed)

In C++, please build a simple Distance Vector program that will communicate with N partners and do the following. (NOTE: All connections between a server and clients should be TCP/IP socket.)

  1. You will run N instances on your machine
  2. Each instance will run on a different port (instance 1 will run on port 18181, instance 2 on port 18182, instance 3 on port 18183, etc)
  3. The program will start by reading in the appropriate neighbors file and vector file.
  4. The program will ONLY read vectors where the fromNode is equal to that node. For instance, node 1 will only read in vectors where node1 is the fromNode.
  5. The program will support the following requests from clients:
    1. Show files at the server’s current directory: ‘print
      1. This will print the current vector table on a node.
      2. ONLY print valid vectors (don’t print uninitialized ones)
    2. Download files: ‘refresh
      1. This will force the current node to send its vector table to all its neighbors.
    3. Upload files: ‘update
  1. This will be of the form: Update fromNode toNode cost
  2. Update checks that the toNode is the current node. If it is not it is ignored
  3. Update then checks if the toNode-fromNode exists in vector table. If it does not it is added and neighbors are notified
  4. If the pair is in the table, and if the new cost is less than the old cost, that cost is stored and the neighbors are notified.
