Abstract

SQL-TUTOR [1,2] is an ITS for teaching the database language SQL to upper-level undergraduate students taking database courses. Students using SQL-TUTOR work through a series of problems where the solution is an SQL statement. Although SQL-TUTOR does not solve problems, it does have an ideal solution (IS) for each one. A correct student solution (SS) to a problem may be the same as the IS although there can be more than one correct solution. Figure 1 is an example of a problem in SQL-TUTOR, its IS, and an incorrect SS.
