This quiz is based on the same data used in Lab 2, that is, you are given the following database schema (with primary keys underlined): PEAK(NAME, ELEV, DIFF, MAP, REGION) CLIMBER(NAME, SEX) PARTICIPATED(TRIP_ID, NAME) CLIMBED(TRIP_ID, PEAK, WHEN_CLIMBED)The database tables have the following semantics (which is the same as in Lab 2): 1. PEAK gives information about the mountain peaks that the SPCC is interested in. This table lists the name of each peak, its elevation, its difficulty level for climbers (on a scale of 1 to 5), the map that it is located on, and the region of the Sierra Nevada that it is located in. 2. CLIMBER lists the SPCC membership, and gives their name and gender. 3. PARTICPATED gives the set of climbers who participated in each of the various SPCC-sponsored climbing trips. The number of participants in each trip varies. 4. CLIMBED tells which peaks were climbed on each of the SPCC-sponsored climbing trips, along with the date that each peak was climbed. Note: To make sure you are using the correct original data file, please download the Lab 2 data “climbers.db” again before you start answering the questions. The data file is in lab_2_setup.zip, click this link (lab_2_setup.zip) to download it directly. DO NOT leave this quiz to download it from other pages, since you can only attempt once for this quiz.
