Module 1 Lab: Creating A Database

1. The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a SQL Server database, schemas, and snapshot. It instructs how to create the database with two filegroups, add schemas, create a table and login, and test data access. 2. Next, it details how to create a database snapshot of the original database on the file system. Testing shows the snapshot contains the original data while the live database is updated. 3. Disk usage of the snapshot files increases, demonstrating the snapshot captured the original data.

Exercise 2: Creating Schemas

Lab answer key

Creating the schema


You must perform the following steps to create the schema:

1. Return to SQL Server Management Studio.


2. On the Project menu, click New Query. Ensure that the connection settings are correct, and
then click Connect.
3. In Solution Explorer, right-click SQLQuery1.sql, and then click Rename. Rename the file to
CreateAW_IT_Schemas.sql.
4. In Object Explorer, expand Databases, AW_IT_Assets, Security, right-click Schemas, and
then click New Schema.
5. In the Schema – New dialog box, type TechSupport as the Schema name, but do not click
OK yet.
6. Click the Script drop-down arrow, and then click Script Action to Clipboard.
7. Click OK to create the schema.
8. Right-click in the CreateAW_IT_Schemas.sql query window, and click Paste.
9. On the File menu, click Save All.

Creating the new table and login


You must perform the following steps to create the new table and login:

1. On the Project menu, click Add Existing Item.


2. Locate the D:\Labfiles\Starter\Create_AW_IT_Table_and_User.sql file, and then click
Add. When prompted, connect to MIAMI.
3. Click the Execute button on the toolbar to create the new Asset table and the login for
MIAMI\Katie.

Testing data access


You must perform the following steps to test data access:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.


2. Enter runas /noprofile /user:MIAMI\Katie cmd.
3. When prompted for the user password, enter Pa$$w0rd. This creates a new command prompt
window that is running as the MIAMI\Katie user account.
4. In the new command prompt window, enter sqlcmd -S MIAMI -E. This starts the SQL
Server 2005 command prompt, which allows you to execute statements against a database.
5. Enter the following code. (sqlcmd will insert line numbers automatically.)

USE AW_IT_Assets
SELECT * FROM Asset
GO

An error message is displayed within the command prompt window because the dbo schema does
not contain the Asset table.
6. Enter the following code.

USE AW_IT_Assets
SELECT * FROM TechSupport.Asset
GO

Three records are displayed within the command prompt window because the statement includes
the schema.
7. Do not close the command prompt window.

Changing the default schema for the user


You must perform the following steps to change the default schema for the user:

1. Return to SQL Server Management Studio.


2. In Object Explorer, expand Databases, AW_IT_Assets, Security, Users, right-click
MIAMI\Katie, and then click Properties.
3. In the Database User – MIAMI\Katie dialog box, type TechSupport for Default schema,
but do not click OK yet.
4. Click the Script drop-down arrow, and then click Script Action to Clipboard.
5. Click OK to change the default schema for MIAMI\Katie.
6. Right-click in the CreateAW_IT_Schemas.sql query window under the existing script, and
click Paste.
7. On the File menu, click Save All.
8. Return to the command prompt window that is running sqlcmd.
9. Enter the following code.

USE AW_IT_Assets
SELECT * FROM Asset
GO

Three records are displayed within the command prompt window because the default schema for
MIAMI\Katie is now TechSupport.
10. Type Exit to close the sqlcmd connection and close the command prompt window.
11. Keep SQL Server Management Studio open; you will use it in the next exercise.
Exercise 3: Creating a Database Snapshot

Lab answer key

Creating a database snapshot


You must perform the following steps to create a database snapshot:

1. In SQL Server Management Studio, on the Project menu, click New Query. Connect to
MIAMI by using Windows authentication when prompted.
2. In Solution Explorer, right-click SQLQuery1.sql, and then click Rename. Rename the file to
CreateAW_IT_Snapshot.sql.
3. In the new, blank query window, type the following Transact-SQL code.

CREATE DATABASE AW_IT_Assets_Snapshot1 ON


( NAME = 'AW_IT_Assets_Data1', FILENAME =
N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AWIT1.ss'),
( NAME = N'AW_IT_Assets_Data2', FILENAME =
N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AWIT2.ss')
AS SNAPSHOT OF AW_IT_Assets

4. On the File menu, click Save All.


5. Click the Execute button on the toolbar.
6. In Object Explorer, expand Databases, Database Snapshots, and then confirm that the new
database snapshot exists. You might need to refresh the list of database snapshots before the
new snapshot becomes visible.
7. Click Start, and then click Windows Explorer.
8. Open the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data folder.
9. Right-click AWIT2.ss, and then click Properties. Note the current Size on disk value. Click
OK, but leave Windows Explorer open.
10. Return to SQL Server Management Studio, and then click the New Query button on the
toolbar.
11. In the new, blank query window, type the following Transact-SQL code.

INSERT AW_IT_Assets.TechSupport.Asset (Description, Location)


VALUES ('Workstation 2', 'Meeting Room 1')

SELECT *
FROM AW_IT_Assets.TechSupport.Asset

SELECT *
FROM AW_IT_Assets_Snapshot1.TechSupport.Asset
12. Click the Execute button on the toolbar, and view the results. Notice that the first result set
contains four records and the second contains only three records, as expected.
13. Return to Windows Explorer.
