You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
If you haven't already done so, run the SQL script in the above folder in SQL Server Management Studio to generate a database (not for commercial use or copying) called MAM.
Create a new project and model (perhaps you could use this exercise number to name it), importing four tables: tblAnimal, tblProduct, tblSpecies and tblTransaction.
Create two roles as follows:
| Role | Table | Restrictions |
|---|---|---|
| Terrestrial | Species | The species name can not be Bird. |
| Airborne | Species | The species name must be Bird. |
You should give your roles read access to the model:
What the roles should look like!
Finally, test each role:
Here's what you should see when you analyse the model in Excel using the Terrestrial role.
That's it!
