week 08 - day 01 - Safari DB - Using ORMs

[TristanDeAugustine]

ORM Safari!

We are taking a surprise trip to the Savannah for a safari to see all sorts of exotic animals. During our time there we want to keep track of all the animals we have seen. For this, we need to create a database, as well as a small console application to help record what we see.

Objectives

• Use an ORM to query against a database

Requirements

Additional Reading

NOTE: The Additional Resources section below is very helpful. Consider reading this after reading Explorer mode. Then make a plan for the assignment for digging in and writing code.

Explorer Mode

• [ ] Create a database called SafariVacation
  • [ ] This will have 1 table called SeenAnimals that has the following columns
  • Id (int)
  • Species (string)
  • CountOfTimesSeen (int)
  • LocationOfLastSeen (string)
  • NOTE: This should be made all in the code (C#), and not created in the pgcli.
• [ ] Create a small console application, and create the following queries using your languages ORM.
  • [ ] Display all animals the user has seen
  • [ ] Update the CountOfTimesSeen and LocationOfLastSeen for an animal
  • [ ] Display all animals seen in the Jungle
  • [ ] Remove all animals that I have seen in the Desert.
  • [ ] Add all the CountOfTimesSeen and get a total number of animals seen
  • [ ] Get the CountOfTimesSeen of lions, tigers and bears

Adventure Mode

• [ ] Add a new column called LastSeenTime, with a type of DateTime. This will require you to add and run a new migration.

Epic Mode

• [ ] Continue to make progress on your capstone project. This should be tasks like Database Schema, HTML, CSS
