A printer preferably a Laser Jet. Network card, mouse and pad will also be needed. 2. Software Requirement: The database system together with the interfaces would run on a window-based system. My sql data manipulating language will be used as the query language. The graphical user interfaces have been designed using HTML. The system to run therefore must be an installed on windows operating system. The graphical user interfaces have been designed using HTML.
