...Chapter 8 Advanced SQL Chapter Objectives This chapter continues what was covered in Chapter 7. While Chapter 7 dealt with single table queries, Chapter 8 discusses joins. Other topics are also included, such as triggers, stored procedures, functions, Embedded SQL, Dynamic SQL, and Persistent Stored Modules. This chapter also contains a detailed discussion of transaction integrity as well as the SQL-99 enhancements and extensions to SQL. An overview of data dictionaries is also included. Chapter 7 is obviously a prerequisite for this chapter. Specific student learning objectives are included at the beginning of the chapter. From an instructor's point of view, the objectives of this chapter are: 1. To provide many examples of relational queries from SQL, which show such capabilities as multiple-table data retrieval (join and other operators such as difference, union, and intersection), explicit and implicit joining, and built-in functions. 2. To illustrate the differences between the joining and subquery approaches to manipulating multiple tables in SQL. 3. To introduce the transaction and concurrency control features of relational DBMSs. 4. To discuss the SQL-99 enhancements to SQL. 5. To briefly discuss the data dictionary facilities available in Oracle. 6. To discuss triggers and stored procedures and provide examples of how these might be used. 7. To briefly discuss dynamic and embedded SQL. Classroom Ideas 1. Have students program in some system...

...Historical, Inspirational, and Influential: Xaviera Hollander Written by: Michelle Lamore Everest University ENC 1001 Composition Week 9 Individual Work Xaviera Hollander had a great impact on the sexual revolution and feminist movement of the 1970’s even though Xaviera’s sexually explicit book, “The Happy Hooker”, detailed her time as a hooker, call girl and madam in New York, its outspoken and blatant sexuality shocked conservative North America and led to her deportation both from Canada and the United States. Xaviera Hollander, born Xaviera DeVries, comes from a good background, grew up in a loving family atmosphere, and was given a fine European education. Her mother, of German and French extraction, was serious minded but warm and devoted to her family. Her father, of Dutch and Jewish extraction, was intellectual, a lover of the arts, and a truly generous-spirited man. Between her parents and herself they speak a total of twelve languages. “I personally speak seven languages fluently.” (Xaviera Hollander, 2002) At the height of her father’s highly successful medical career, he owned a large hospital in the Dutch East Indies, two palatial homes, one in Surabaya and the other in the hill resort area of Bandung, both run by many servants. They lost everything when the Japanese invaded the islands. The first three years of Xaviera’s life was spent in a Japanese concentration camp. The Japanese in Southeast Asia were as anti-Semitic as the Germans in Europe. Even though...

...the literature and one of the several conclusions is that teachers, administrators and other stakeholders in education should pay attention to what students have to say about the characteristics of effective teachers. There appears to be a dearth of information regarding high school students’ perceptions of the characteristics of effective teachers. In fact, according to SooHoo (1993). Somehow educators have forgotten the important connection between teachers and students. We listen to outside experts to inform us, and, consequently, we overlook the treasure in our very own backyards: our students. Student perceptions are valuable to our practice because they are authentic sources; they personally experience our classrooms first hand. . . As teachers, we need to find ways to continually seek out these silent voices because they can teach us so much about learning and learners. (p. 389) Providing teachers with feedback about their teaching, whether it be from colleagues, administrators or students, is an important aspect of school improvement. Rudduck, Chaplain and Wallace (1996) noted the potential role that students might play in school improvement: Those bent on improvement in schools might usefully start by inviting pupils to talk about what makes learning difficult for them, about what diminishes their motivation and engagement, and what makes some give up and others settle for a “minimum risk, minimum effort” position – even though they know...

...Enron, Ethics, and the Law BUS 375 Enron, Ethics, and the Law This paper will explain the history of Enron and were it failed. These failures led to many changes that today’s employees must know about and then be trained to avoid those same mistakes. While this company was based in the United States their failures had a global impact that has caused cultural changes across the world. These changes have caused employee ethics training to be changes across the world. Like everything else in the workplace leaders must lead by example so managers must be willing to assist their employees with their career development. To understand exactly what Enron did first one must understand a little bit about the company’s history. Enron can trace its roots back to the Northern Natural Gas Company that was founded in 1932, in Omaha, Nebraska. The Northern Natural Gas Company was reorganized in 1979 and branded InterNorth and in 1985. Enron was created in 1986 by a merger of InterNorth and Houston Natural Gas. The merger between the two companies was created with the intent of creating the first nationwide natural gas pipeline. When Enron was first created the government regulated the production of energy as well as the rates charged for power. Then in the late 1980’s the federal government deregulated the natural gas industry and then in the 1990’s the electrical industry. This deregulation allowed Enron to move its company in a new direction. Enron began trading the energy contracts and...

...investigations • Martha Stewart case: lessons and training 2 HEADING Shares sold in cases of insider trading often come from option exercises or restricted stock vesting. 3 Accounting scandals/fraud intertwined with insider trading. Insider trading cases more interesting to juries and easier for prosecutors to explain. Did the CEO sell stock knowing his company could not make its earnings targets without improperly booking revenue? 4 The SEC detects and prosecutes even small-profit cases. $38,000 in profits by former CFO. 5 Criminal charges are now more likely. Justice Department and local US Attorneys interested in these cases. Ex-Countrywide execs get probation terms for insider trading By ALEX VEIGA, AP Business Writer LOS ANGELES—November 26, 2007 Three former Countrywide Financial Corp. executives who pleaded guilty to criminal charges of insider trading were sentenced Monday to serve three years probation, the U.S. attorney's office said. They must also serve several hundred hours of community service and pay fines. In their plea agreements earlier this year, the executives admitted they used confidential data showing Countrywide would not meet Wall Street earnings projections for the third quarter of 2004. They then used the information to sell off their shares, to buy put options and, eventually, to short-sell the stock, in efforts to profit from a fall in the stock's price,...

Smith manufactures electronic components and sells these products to manufacturers of cell phones, e-readers, and tablets. The Smith family founded the company, which originally manufactured components for radios, in the 1930s. The grandchildren of the founder had no interest in active management of the company, and it went public in the 1990s under different management. Your firm has audited Smith for ten years, and has always issued standard, unqualified opinions for both the financial statements and internal controls during this time. New federal regulations concerning the disposal of manufacturing byproducts will impact Smith’s manufacturing process this year by limiting Smith’s ability to sell these byproducts to other companies. Furthermore, the company will have to incur costs to implement new methods of waste disposal. In combination, these issues related to the new regulations are material. To keep up with the rapid advancement of technological developments in its industry, Smith has invested...

...Management, you are one of the many uninformed professionals. Although Capacity Management has been in existence in one form or another for over 40 years, only a minority of shops have chosen to implement it. With constantly lowering prices, many IT shops have chosen to throw hardware at performance and capacity problems rather than spend the time to manage what they have. In the past, that approach has worked, however times and management challenges have changed and costs increased; demanding a different approach. Capacity Management is one solution. This guide is designed to help those managers who are now looking to assemble a Capacity Management organization and put in place the processes and best practices to make it successful. About the Author Ron Potter is the Best Practices manager for TeamQuest Corporation. Ron’s background includes more than 20 years in the IT industry, spearheading a successful ITIL implementation with a Fortune 500 insurance company, and discussing ITIL topics as a presenter at several conferences and trade shows. 2 of 11 Getting Started: Implementing Capacity Management White Paper What is Capacity Management? Capacity Management definitions can be found in many places on the Internet, including many IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) sites. The definitions can be both wordy and confusing. We will leave it to those sources for the definitive explanation. For a brief, high level definition, Capacity Management is a set of work processes...

...1 Introduction to Knowledge Management A light bulb in the socket is worth two in the pocket. —Bill Wolf (1950–2001) This chapter provides an introduction to the study of knowledge management (KM). A brief history of knowledge management concepts is outlined, noting that much of KM existed before the actual term came into popular use. The lack of consensus over what constitutes a good definition of KM is addressed and the concept analysis technique is described as a means of clarifying the conceptual confusion that still persists over what KM is or is not. The multidisciplinary roots of KM are enumerated together with their contributions to the discipline. The two major forms of knowledge, tacit and explicit, are compared and contrasted. The importance of KM today for individuals, for communities of practice, and for organizations are described together with the emerging KM roles and responsibilities needed to ensure successful KM implementations. Learning Objectives 1. Use a framework and a clear language for knowledge management concepts. 2. Define key knowledge management concepts such as intellectual capital, organizational learning and memory, knowledge taxonomy, and communities of practice using concept analysis. 3. Provide an overview of the history of knowledge management and identify key milestones. 4. Describe the key roles and responsibilities required for knowledge management applications. 2 Chapter 1 Introduction The ability to manage knowledge is crucial in...

...According to the indictment, Ms. Stewart lied to investigators by telling them that she and her stockbroker had previously agreed to sell the shares if their market value fell below a certain price, and altered a phone message from the broker in her assistant's computer ''immediately following a lengthy conversation with her attorney.'' At a news conference announcing the charges against Ms. Stewart, James B. Comey, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, said, ''This criminal case is about lying -- lying to the F.B.I., lying to the S.E.C., lying to investors.'' Addressing a question that has long hovered over the investigation, he added, ''Martha Stewart is being prosecuted not for who she is, but because of what she did.'' A...

The competitive advantage of a company strongly depends on its possibility to benefit from innovational activities. Understanding the factors that affect product and process innovation and their effects is necessary for deciding on an innovation strategy that is one of the core factors of an innovation success. We research the influence of nine external and internal factors on product and business processes innovation. For the analysis of important relations and conclusions, beside theoretical literature, we use the results of several studies. Key Words: product innovations, business processes innovation, industry maturity, customer needs, demand, technological opportunity, investment attractiveness, company size, export orientation INTRODUCTION Innovations are one of the main sources of a competitive advantage and they are essential for a company growth. Fast technology development, combined with the globalisation and fast changes in customer demand, implies that a competitive advantage of a company can be only temporary. Companies put great effort in beating the competition and improvement in the market game by introducing innovations. On the macro level, innovations...
