A new version of the submission tool for exercise sheet 5 allows to set the database port as a 4th parameter: java -jar rddm_submit5.jar sample db2inst1 db2inst1 50001 (50001 is the default port).

There will be two exercise lessons on Thursday, May 19. One at 08:15 in 48-453 (exercise sheet 4; instead of the lecture), and one at 15:30 in 48-208 (exercise sheet 5). On Thursday, June 30, there will be no exercise lesson, but two lecture units (same time slots, same rooms).

There was a mistake on the first exercise sheet: The quiz-submission deadline is on April, 27.
We will discuss exercise sheet 1 and exercise sheet 2 (except the quiz) on Thursday, April 28. Due to the holiday, there will be no lecture and no exercise lesson on May, 05.

Oral-Exam Registration

Click here to register for the oral exam. If you want to register or deregister, please contact Heike Neu.

The registration starts on 2016-07-21 10:00. The duration of the exam is 45 minutes. It takes place in room 36-329.

Regulations

There are two different types of assignments within the course: quizzes and hands-on exercises. To get admitted to the final exam, you have to achieve a 65% or above on graded material (i.e., 130 points).

  • There will be 13 exercise sheets; The first task on every sheet is a quiz or a hands-on exercise you have to solve; the other tasks are optional. We present and discuss the solutions in the weekly exercise session every Thursday afternoon.
  • Submit your solutions online; deadline: Thursday morning 08:14.
  • In each of overall 11 quizzes, you can get up to 10 points.
  • We drop the lowest quiz grade; so in total, you can get up to 100 points in quizzes.
  • On 2 of the 13 exercise sheets, there is no quiz, but a hands-on exercise with 50 points each. In these weeks, you practically try out the things you have learned on a real database system.
  • In sum, you can reach up to 200 points (11*10-10+2*50).

DB2 Virtual Box

You can watch a video of this tutorial here.

  • Install VirtualBox
  • Download the DB2 Virtualbox Image from our server (2.6 GB; only from the university network) or from the IBM website (registration required).
  • Doubleclick the Downloaded File to import the image. Add a CD-ROM drive to the VM.
  • It should show a 64-bit openSuse. If you see a 32, you have to enable Virtualization in your BIOS first.
  • Start the VM and follow the setup instructions. Set your keyboard layout, timezone and so on. Set all user's passwords to their username, e.g. root's password: root, db2inst1's password: db2inst1, and so on.
  • Log in with the user db2inst1 (password: db2inst1)
  • On your VirtualBox click Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image, insert the root password (root)
  • Reboot and log in again with db2inst1
  • Click Devices and activate the bidirectional shared clipboard.
  • Start the IBM Data Studio
  • On the left, go to the connection localhost -> db2inst1 -> SAMPLE, rightclick -> Properties -> Driver Properties -> Set username / password to db2inst1 / db2inst1, close the dialogue and doubleclick SAMPLE to connect to the database.
  • Click on the little white arrow on the left, next to "New", the yellow arrow and the blue boxes; then click New SQL Script
  • Make a SELECT query on the table customer.

PostGIS VirtualBox

Exercise sheet 10 is the second hands-on exercise. This time, you'll need PostgreSQL and the spatial-database extender PostGIS. You can install the software on your system using Linux packages or Windows installers. Alternatively, you can use our VirtualBox image.

Hints for the VirtualBox image:

  • username: tux, password: tux
  • root password: root
  • You can switch to the root shell with the command: su
  • The PostgreSQL server process can be started as root with the command: /etc/init.d/postgresql start
  • Start the PostgreSQL console with the command: psql -U postgres
  • Write a semicolon at the end of your SQL statements.

Unfortunately, copy and paste between your guest and host does not work. Instead, you can simply write your answers on a piece of paper ;-), or you open a titanpad.com, or you access the database from your host via ssh:

  • As root on the guest: tazpkg get-install openssh
  • Also as root: /etc/init.d/openssh start
  • VM settings: network - port forwarding, Host 19222, Guest 22
  • Now, you can connect with your host system, Linux: ssh tux@localhost -p 19222, on Windows use Putty.
