The programming project is here. The database is available in MS Access format. You can also use other databases, eg Oracle; here is the data in text file format (multiple files).
The makeup programming project is here; there is a link on that page to the Access database it uses. You can earn extra credit to be applied to your midterm (up to a maximum of 80) either with this assignment, or with the final exam study exercises, or both; see the latter document for more details.
The assignment is not necessarily complete yet, in that I may add some queries. I may also supply some access-related hints, eg how to refer to attribute names with spaces in them.
The file demo.text contains SQL statements to rebuild the tables for the sailors/boats/reservations example in chapter 5; copy/paste into your SQL window as necessary.
