Revisiting the appeals table
The SBA database now contains a table for storing loan applicant appeal requests. The table contains only a PRIMARY KEY
and a text column for the appeal. It is useful to track additional information such as when the appeal was received, whether or not the decision was reversed after the appeal, and the date when the appeal was reconsidered. You will define a new version of the appeals table to capture this information.
This exercise is part of the course
Creating PostgreSQL Databases
Exercise instructions
- Add a new column,
received_on
, which captures the date and time when the appeal was received. - Add an
approved_on_appeal
column to indicate if the loan decision was changed due to the appeal. (This field will default to NULL to indicate that no new decision has yet been reached.) - Add a
reviewed
column which stores the date when the appeal was reviewed.
