1.2. Sample Database

Throughout this documentation we will be working with a sample database to help explain some basic to advanced level database concepts.

1.2.1. Sample Database Installation

When EnterpriseDB is installed, a sample database named edb is automatically created. This sample database contains the tables and procedures used throughout this documentation

You can recreate the sample tables, procedures, and triggers at any time by executing the script, edb-sample.sql, located in directory EnterpriseDB-home/samples where EnterpriseDB-home is the directory where EnterpriseDB was installed.

This script does the following:

  • Creates the sample tables, procedures, triggers, etc. in the currently connected database

  • Grants all permissions on the table to the PUBLIC group.

The tables and procedures will be created in the first schema of the search path in which the current user has permission to create tables and procedures. You can display the search path by issuing the command:

SHOW SEARCH_PATH;

Altering the search path can be done using commands in EnterpriseDB PSQL.

1.2.2. Sample Database Description

The sample database represents some of the data storage and retrieval requirements you might encounter when dealing with employees in an organization.

The sample database is called edb and contains three main type of records: employees, departments and historical records of employees.

Each employee has an identification number, name, hiredate, salary, and manager. Some employees earn a commission in addition to their salary. All employee related information is stored in the emp table.

The sample company is regionally diverse, so it tracks the locations of its departments. Each company employee is assigned to a department. Each department is identified by a unique department number and a short name. Each department is associated with one location. All department related information is stored in the dept table.

The company also tracks information about jobs within the organization. Some employees have been with the company for a long time and have held different positions within the company. When an employee switches jobs, the company records the start date and end date of the former job, the job identification number, and the department. All employee history is maintained in the jobhist table.

1.2.3. Sample Database Diagram

The following picture depicts the relationship of the various tables in the sample database.

1.2.4. The edb-sample script

1.2.5. Sample Tables

EnterpriseDB creates 3 sample tables in the "edb" database. The tables and their respective DDL are as follows:

  • dept

    CREATE TABLE dept (
        deptno          NUMBER(2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT dept_pk PRIMARY KEY,
        dname           VARCHAR2(14) CONSTRAINT dept_dname_uq UNIQUE,
        loc             VARCHAR2(13)
    );

  • emp

    CREATE TABLE emp (
        empno           NUMBER(4) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT emp_pk PRIMARY KEY,
        ename           VARCHAR2(10),
        job             VARCHAR2(9),
        mgr             NUMBER(4),
        hiredate        DATE,
        sal             NUMBER(7,2) CONSTRAINT emp_sal_ck CHECK (sal > 0),
        comm            NUMBER(7,2),
        deptno          NUMBER(2) CONSTRAINT emp_ref_dept_fk
                            REFERENCES dept(deptno)
    );
    	  

  • jobhist

    CREATE TABLE jobhist (
        empno           NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
        startdate       DATE NOT NULL,
        enddate         DATE,
        job             VARCHAR2(9),

        comm            NUMBER(7,2),
        deptno          NUMBER(2),
        chgdesc         VARCHAR2(80),
        CONSTRAINT jobhist_pk PRIMARY KEY (empno, startdate),
        CONSTRAINT jobhist_ref_emp_fk FOREIGN KEY (empno)
            REFERENCES emp(empno) ON DELETE CASCADE,
