B. Demonstrate an understanding of advanced SQL topics.

E. State the main concepts in data warehousing and data mining.

Submission

You must submit the following files to LMO: 1)A report named as Your_Student_ID.pdf.

2)A directory containing all your source code, named as Your_Student_ID_code.

NOTE: The report shall be in A4 size, size 11 font, and shall not exceed 8 pages in length. You can include only key code snippets in your reports. The complete source code can be placed in the attachment.

Assessment Tasks

Matrix multiplication is a fundamental operation in linear algebra where two matrices are multiplied to produce a new matrix. Specifically, if we have two matrices A and B, the product  of these matrices, denoted as AB, is calculated by taking the dot product of the rows of A with the columns of B. For example, for two matrices of dimension 2×2, their matrix multiplication formula is

To test your proficiency in SQL under an open-book setting, this assignment requires you to implement matrix multiplication using SQL. It is divided into the following steps:

1)   The Python function in the attachment is capable of generating an N-dimensional square

matrix composed of random numbers in the format of (row_id, col_id, value). First, use a Python program to invoke this function and generate such a matrix, then import it into a table M in PostgreSQL. Additionally, discuss the impact of database transaction mechanisms on the performance of record insertion. Record the program running time (ideally, <10s) when N=500 and take a screenshot. (20 marks)

2)   Perform. a “pivot” operation on the table M from 1) (write the PL/pgSQL manually without using crosstab) to generate a data table A. You can design your own schema for table A,  but ensure that each row of the matrix is placed in a separate record. Note that N cannot be predetermined in the program. Provide a screenshot of the computation results when  N=3 and perform. a correctness check. Provide another screenshot of the running time (ideally, <1s) when N=500. (20 marks)

3)   Using PL/pgSQL, perform a matrix transposition on table A from 2) and store the results in another table with the same schema as A. Provide a screenshot of the computation results when N=3 and perform. a correctness check. Provide another screenshot of the running time (ideally, <1s) when N=500. (20 marks)

4)   Using PL/pgSQL, calculate the matrix multiplication of the matrix stored in table A from 2) with itself, and store the results in another table with the same schema as A. Provide a screenshot of the computation results when N=3 and perform. a correctness check. Provide another screenshot of the running time (ideally, <1 min) when N=500. (20 marks)

5)   For the above tasks 1-4, check the program’s running time when N=1700. Provide

corresponding screenshots. The ideal running times should not exceed: 2 minutes for task 1, 10 seconds for task 2, 10 seconds for task 3, and 30 minutes for task 4. (20 marks)

NOTE:

a.    Provide a brief introduction to the program logic in your own words; including code snippets is encouraged, but please do not directly paste the entire program into the report without explanation;

b.   For your full academic development, the use of generative AI to gain inspiration is allowed  for this assignment; however, out of mutual respect, please do not directly paste its output into your assignment and submit it;

c.   To prove that you have indeed completed this assignment and did not rely solely on generative AI, please provide screenshots of the running results for each task.
