In a classroom situation, a system description is given to you by a teacher. I will just assume that you have the description. The nouns in the description can roughly be divided into three categories: They describe features of your entity. If you create a system for a primary school, you should talk about pupils. If you create a similar system for a university, you should talk about students. Focus on the core functionality of the system first. This step might lead to introducing new intermediate junction tables. At this point, you should read the description again and see if anything is missing. I assure you there will be something to add. Add the new tables, the new relationships, and the new columns. Read the description again Start with the core entities of your system. You can add more details later. No matter how precise the description is, you will always have some doubts. Something will always be underspecified. There is always more than one way to model each system. The model depends on what the purpose of the system is, how data come to the system, even on the personal taste of the designer. Car Rental System As an example we will create a database model for a car rental system. First, take a look at a description of the system: We start with highlighting all nouns: Click to highlight nouns. We look for the basic entities in the system. For a start, you should at least have these: We put them in the diagram. I added the id column in every table because every table should have some sort of id. You can always change the primary key later. Remember what we said at the beginning: You should add reservation and rental as tables as well. Now we add the references between the tables in the model. I numbered the references as I added them. The note next to each reference tells you when it was added: Each car belongs to a category, Each reservation is for a category of cars, Each location is in a city, Each reservation has a pick up and a drop off location, Each reservation is made by a customer, Each rental is made by a customer, Each rental is for a certain car, Each rental has a pick up and a drop off location. Each rental is connected to some insurance. But is there only one insurance for each rental? Is equipment permanently attached to a car or can it be moved from one car to the other? We delete the company table. The rental company is implicitly present in the system. After all, another company will have their own system and their own database. Finally, we add the columns and their datatypes. We also notice that there is no relationship between reservation and equipment. But is the reservation made for a particular piece of equipment? Read the description again. Our database model still omits the charges. Page 1

2 Chapter 2 : SQLCourse - Lesson 2: Table Basics This is a database of highly effective weight lifting exercises by Building Muscle Each exercise comes complete with a description, illustraion, and video. Bent over rows; Shoulder press; Barbell curls;these are just a few examples but if the exercise takes more than two muscle groups to complete the lift, it is considered a compound movement. The sequence of exercises are laid out in a way that uses compound movements first followed by isolaton and other single muscle group exercises. Isolation exercises are those exercises that "isolate" a muscle group. I personally feel these exercises are great but not as effective as compound movements. For example, squats compound are much more effective and efficient at stimulating a larger muscle area than seated leg extensions are isolation. That is, trying following the presecribed amount of exercises, sets, rest, and repetitions. The programs have all been designed to provide optimal amount of rest and recovery times. Improving From Workout to Workout If I had to pick the most critical element to a successful weight training program, it would be workout improvements. In order to see the true benefits of resistance type training, one needs to constantly improve. This element is probably the most important aspect when it comes to weight training, yet it is the least discussed. Sure, this type of training may yield a certain amount of results, in the beginning. However, your body will adapt to these variables and will come to a state of equilibrium. That is, your body will stop adapting and over time, will stop making any additional improvements. Since you are not making any additional effort to improve, your body will also stop making efforts to grow. I see this phenomenon everyday at the gym. I see the same guys showing up day after day, doing the same thing over and over, and never ever seem to get stronger or make additional gains. The fact of the matter is this. If you want to get the full benefits from weight training, you have to make constant improvements in your routine. Perform the same exercises using the same repetitions, sets, and rest times but using heavier workloads weight than your previous workout; Perform the same exercises using the same amount weight, repetitions, sets, and rest times but performing more repetitions that your previous workout; Perform the same exercises using the same amout of weight, repetitions, sets, but doing the workout in less time. Using the above noted points, will allow you to make the necessary improvements in your workouts which will result in faster, more solid gains. Successful weight training is about making small, mini improvements week after week. These small improvements will add up to huge results over longer periods of time IE: This will also help you avoid training plateaus. This is often called progression but I prefer the term improvement. You see, it all boils down to making "mini" improvements in your program. This will determine your success levels. Once you stop improving, two weeks or more there is something wrong with your program. The only exeption is for beginners. Beginners should be using a routine that will help them become familiar with the exercises and technique. These exercises will help them with balance and range of motion. However, after a certain amount of time has elapsed, it is time to start adding more exercises, sets, repetitions, or workloads. Increasing Intensity Levels This point ties into the above. In order to make the necessary workout improvements, you have to be willing to put in additional effort. Since you are trying to improve with each passing workout, your workout effort intensity levels will have to increase. This is what I call the workout paradigm. As you make the necessary improvements and your body becomes stronger, one might think that the workouts would get easier. The workouts only get harder and harder. This goes back to the price you pay for having an strong and healthy body. Additional results require additional effort. Be Specific You need to be very specific about what it is you want. If you want to lose that spare tire around your waist and get back into shape, you need to choose a program that fits this goal. If you want to gain muscle mass, you need to choose a specific program that will allow for this type of muscle gain. This ties in very closely to choosing your goals. Heavy or Light Weight? In order to achieve your fitness goals, you will have to progressively add more and more muscle fibre stimulation. Let me be very clear about this. I know, many of you may be under the assumption that heavy weight must be used if you want to build muscle. Heavy weight is all relative to the amount of muscle fibre stimulation it provides. Mind you, using heavy weight is very effective at building strength and muscle mass, it is not the only way to get the job done. Page 2

3 Using heavy weight for the sake of using heavy weight is very counter productive. This often leads to poor form and technique which will bring about unwanted injuries. Using progressively heavier weights in good form from workout to workout will be much more productive. Remember, it is all about making small improvements from workout to workout. However, if you can perform additional repetitions using the same weight, sets, and rest periods as you did in your previous workout, than this also is considered an improvement. I personally find using a combination of increasing workloads and progressive repetitions is the best solution for building quality muscle mass. Using this method, you can utilize both, progressively heavier weight while increasing the amount of repetitions you do. Your aim is to perform 12 unassisted repetitons with this new weight. You will once again add another 10 pounds to the bar and start the cycle over by pushing yourself to perform another 12 repetitions. This is a very effective combination that will improve your efforts and intensity while allowing you to make improvements in weight and repetitions. This will also help save your joints and connective tissues associated with heavy weight and low repetitions. The latest news from Building Muscle Page 3

The right software makes it easy for you to add new data, to edit existing data, to sort data, and to group your data into useful forms and reports. These lessons will introduce you to some simple types of databases in Project 1. The later projects will teach you about relational databases, using Microsoft Access. Working with an existing database may not strain your brain too much. Creating a database, however, requires a lot of planning and thinking and adjusting. This is definitely more difficult than writing a report in Word! Database form, MS Access Used for data entry and viewing subreport and subform data. What you need Skills: Do not attempt the lessons in Working with Databases until you have the following skills- Basic Windows skills: The skills covered in the Windows unit - using a mouse to click, double-click, drag, right click; parts of a window; moving, resizing, maximizing and minimizing a window; scrolling; using the folder tree; creating and managing folders; naming files; opening a program; opening and saving files; using dialog boxes; using Help; printing. You need to be familiar with the computer keyboard and have some skill in typing to do these exercises in a reasonable amount of time. The editing skills covered in Working with Windows: Experience with spreadsheets like Excel and formulas. Files that you need to create the documents in the projects are provided for download in a zip file and are also available online separately. Your instructor may have put these files on your computer already. To get these resource files, click on the following link to download a zipped set of files: Choose "Save this program to a disk" if you want to unzip later. Choose Open to let Windows or your own zipping software unzip the files. Choose a folder on your hard drive for the extracted files. To extract later, find the zipped file in an Explorer window and double-click it. Windows or your own zipping software will then unzip it. Some of the resource files have duplicates in different Office file formats. Be careful to choose the file that the directions tells you to use. How to show extensions Also in the resource files is a Word doc that lists what objects are created in each project and exercise, WhatIsCreated. USB drive You need removable storage for a working copy and, on a separate device, a backup copy of your documents. In addition, you might also want to keep backup copies at your online storage site, like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. If you have a computer of your own or a network drive folder, keep an up-to-date copy of your work there, too. A USB drive is an excellent choice for storing your class work. Your data is much safer on a USB drive than on a floppy disk. You are allowed to use one of the USB ports. You can physically get to the USB port. Some USB drives install their own drivers automatically. Physical arrangement of USB ports - Are they side by side? Some USB drives are wider or thicker than others and may not fit all port arrangements, especially if a neighboring USB port has something plugged into it. Many USB drives come with a short extension cable. If you do not have a computer at home, consider buying 2 USB drives so that you can use one to keep a backup copy of your work.
