Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce structured query language (SQL) statements to work with server-side scripts, enabling web designers to interact with web server databases.

It applies to individuals who are employed as web designers responsible for creating server-side interaction with dynamic web pages, using SQL as a means of communicating with the database.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Identify SQL requirements from the specification documentation

1.1 Determine the information to be used from the database

1.2 Identify the tables that hold this information

1.3 Identify the primary keys in these tables

1.4 Identify the relationships between these tables, including foreign keys

2. Create a relational database

2.1 Create tables in a database, using SQL statements

2.2 Identify the primary and foreign keys for database table

2.3 Manipulate the data in a database, using SQL statements

2.4 Query the database, using SQL statements

2.5 Write SQL statements to retrieve information from the database

3. Test SQL results

3.1 Construct test data to test SQL statements

3.2 Determine the expected results in order to verify SQL statements

3.3 Verify the result of the constructed SQL statements, against the expected results

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

Skill 

Performance Criteria 

Description 

Reading

1.1-1.4, 2.3, 3.3

  • Analyses and consolidates information and data from a range of sources, against the defined criteria and requirements, and checks for accuracy and completeness

Writing

2.1, 2.3-2.5, 3.1, 3.2

  • Uses clear and specialised technical syntax when creating codes and interrogating databases
  • Prepares and produces, diagrammatic models and associated documents, that that convey complex relationships between data

Get the work done

1.1, 1.4, 2.2-2.5, 3.2, 3.3

  • Takes responsibility for planning, sequencing and prioritising tasks and own workload, for efficiency and effective outcomes
  • Makes routine decisions and implements standard procedures for routine tasks, using formal decision-making processes for more complex and non-routine situations
  • Addresses less predictable problems and initiates standard procedures in response to these problems, applying problem-solving processes in determining a solution
  • Uses familiar digital technologies and systems to access information, search and enter, data and code, present information, and communicate with others, cognisant of data security and safety

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • identify structured query language (SQL) requirements
  • create the databases and tables
  • generate queries for one or more tables, to provide the required data
  • add, modify and delete records from the database tables
  • test and verify SQL statements.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • explain the features and application of the following aggregate functions:
  • MIN
  • MAX
  • SUM
  • AVG
  • COUNT
  • COUNT(*)
  • explain the features and application of the following clause functions:
  • GROUP BY
  • HAVING
  • ORDER BY
  • dates and times
  • SQL data types
  • numbers
  • text
  • SQL syntax:
  • SELECT
  • FROM
  • WHERE
  • LIKE
  • DISTINCT
  • CREATE
  • ALTER TABLE
  • INSERT INTO
  • UPDATE
  • DELETE
  • DROP
  • describe the principles of "combining and/or condition" in SQL statements and Boolean operators:
  • IN and BETWEEN conditional operators
  • mathematical operators
  • table joins (relationships).

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the website technologies field of work, and include access to:

  • a development environment
  • a database server.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
