The next step is to install the database that you are going to use in this course. To create the JustLee Books database, download and unpack the JustLee ZIP file from myunisa, under Additional Resources. Create a folder under the C:\ drive and unpack the files into that folder. You can give the folder any name that you want, for example INF3707. Hence, the files would be unzipped into C:\INF3707. After unpacking the files into a folder, in this case C:\INF3707, now, start Oracle XE by going to Windows start All Programs Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Get Started. Provide your user name and password.

6 6 After logging into the database, double click on SQL Workshop icon and then double click the SQL command icon. Type SELECT * FROM BOOKS. Click on run button. The result of executing the SQL statement shows you that the database does not exist. Now you need to install The JustLee Books database. The same instructions would apply when installing the CityJail databases. Click on SQL Workshop and then click on SQL Scripts. This would allow you to upload the JustLeee database files that you downloaded from myunisa under the Additional resources. To install the JustLee database, you need to upload all the scripts.

In this case, the files are under C:\INF3707. Upload all the files. After uploading all the files, run the script named JLDB_Buil.sql. Running the JLDB_Build.sql file installs the JustLee Books database on your computer. To test if the database is installed on your
