PART II This unique introductory SQL tutorial not only provides easy-to-understand SQL instructions, but it allows the student to practice what they learn using an on-line SQL interpreter. Students will receive immediate results after submitting their SQL commands. They will be able to create their own unique tables as well as perform selects, inserts, updates, deletes, and drops on your tables. This SQL tutorial currently supports a subset of ANSI SQL. The basics of each SQL command will be covered in this introductory tutorial. 2.0 The student will understand what defines a common database table.

VIII. INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Daniel Pratt is a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, MCT, APLUS+ and NETWORK+ Certified. Currently, Dan is the Program Coordinator for the Network and APLUS programs and is responsible for supporting all Networking and APLUS courses. Dan Pratt is available at 360-538-4122 or you can email him at [email protected]. IX. ATTENDANCE POLICY As regular attendance and punctuality will be monitored in this course you will need to keep pace with the course and learn all subjects in “Current Topics”. Responsibility will placed heavily on you to utilize all the internet resources available through our lab and your home. This will involve developing a work habit that you will need to succeed in any field; that is being able to work independently. There will be no excuse for late assignments--either you have turned them in or you haven’t. Any student missing more than five instructor contacts, either through email or physically in one term will not receive a grade higher than a “C”. More than eight missed contacts in one quarter will result in a failing grade. It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of his/her instructor contacts. Quizzes will not be repeated unless under special circumstance. Students who do not take a quiz within the prescribed time period will be given a failing grade for that test.
X. DISABILITIES Students who have documented disabilities that require accommodations in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act should contact the Disability Support Services coordinator as well as the instructor of the course in order to insure that together we create an optimal environment for educational achievement.
