Oracle Problem 1: Please Help

[singhjih]

Hi Everyone,

This is my problem;

*PROBLEM 1:* I need to create a table called *INSTRUCTOR_NEW * with al
of the information from *INSTRUCTOR* table. Add a column to th
instructor table called *SALARY* which should be a number with
decimal places. Add a constraint to the *INSTRUCTOR_NEW * table calle
*inst_max_sal* that stipulates that no instructor can have a salar
greater than $3000(three thousand dollars) (this is a weekly salary).


Code
-------------------

CREATE TABLE instructor_new AS
SELECT *
FROM instructor;

ALTER TABLE instructor_new
ADD (salary NUMBER(4,2)
CONSTRAINT inst_max_sal
CHECK (salary >= 0
AND salary < 3000));
/

-------------------

I used the code above however the problem I'm having is identifying th
salary as a weekly salary. *How do I write that the MAX salary i
$3000.00 per week in SQL?
*

In addition to doing your homework, do we also have to pay portion of
your tuition fees?

You do not specify what the INSTRUCTOR table looks like, so it is
difficult to help you. Why don't you include all the details?

Based on what you are saying, I am assuming you need an aggregate
function to enforce your constraint. If so, I think you will need to
use a before insert trigger on the table rather than a simple check
constraint, and inside the trigger, run the aggregate query to
determine whether or not the constraint is violated or not.
