Description of Request:
Design an SQL database (using SQL 2005 Express) that contains the fields found in the company's Chart of Accounts. Add a balance field to the database. Create a query that will display all of the fields of the database and run a report totaling the balance field using test data added to the database.
Background of Request:
Kudler's Chart of Accounts currently exists as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. In anticipation of new reports that management will be requesting, we want to move the Chart of Accounts from the current spreadsheet to a SQL database. We want to create the database in order to facilitate decision making at the store and department levels.
Expected Results/Impact when completed:
An SQL database containing the fields in the current Chart of Accounts, plus a "balance" field.
An SQL query that will display all of the database fields.
A test of the database by means of a query by account number and a report totaling the balance field test data entered by the database design team. The query will display all fields (description, short description, and balance) using the account number as the key to the query. The report will display all fields with a break based on the first two digits of the account number and subtotal of the balance field at each break. A grand total of the balance field will be provided at the end of the report. The database design team will load sufficient entries into the balance field to prove their total routine is working - test balance entries are not necessary for all account numbers.
Please see attached word doc. file for Balance Sheet, and xls. file for Chart of Accounts.
