Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO1 Use an appropriate design tool to design a relational database system for a substantial problem

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

You are employed as a Database Developer for a large IT consultancy company. The company has been approached
by FPT university which is expanding due to the growth of the number of students. FPT is currently facing
difficulties in dealing with managing the university. It decided to develop several academic systems to manage the
university easier including: Online Library system, Student Grading System, Attendance System, CMS
System, Scheduling System, Enrolment Systems, and so on.
You are tasked to select one of those systems to develop database for FPT university. Your tasks are to:
• Work with FPT to find out about current requirements for each system
• Analyze the requirements and produce clear statements of user and system requirements.
• Design a relational database system using appropriate design tools and techniques
• Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system design.
• Test the system against user and system requirements.
• Produce technical and user documentation

Part 1 (Assignment 1)
Before you start the development process, your manager has asked you to produce a report for the CEO of FPT,
containing:
1. Clear statements of user and system requirements. The system must have at least 2 user roles, including
business processes and statistical reports for FPT university managers.
2. The design of the relational database system using appropriate design tools and techniques. It should
contain at least four interrelated tables.
You would prefer to produce a more detailed document, so you will produce a comprehensive design for a fully
functional system which will include interface and output designs, data validations and cover data normalization.
Your manager would like on the report your assessment of the effectiveness of the design in relation to user and
system requirements.

A/ Scenario of the chosen system a

Choose : Library Management System

Information technology has developed rapidly in recent years. especially in the context that developed and
emerging countries are starting the process of digitizing all industries and fields. It also gives a lot of good
examples in the field of information technology management that I will choose as Library Management
problem. With today's hardware, each school's Library Management System is nearly inevitable from
power failure, storage, and rapid processing. There are some significant differences between an automated
site and a human site. For example, management tools will take a lot of time and human effort to develop
and monitor. Also, perfect results cannot be achieved. Management work will require a large number of
employees divided into many different steps, which will increase the value of errors. Because the storage
tape will be lost, dim, and use a lot of space, storage and search will be severely limited. We can save a lot
of space by using our software to manage, store and audit our data much better and faster, especially with
today's technology. Using a part of Software Management Professional Management will eliminate errors
in the data entry process, reduce manpower and time to a very low level. It's also easier to update, repair,
add and delete. This is a fascinating subject I teach because of the incomparable benefits that score
management software offers. and personally explained that I was exposed to this program a lot when
joining FPT GreenWich.

B/ SRS (System Requirement Specification)

Library Management System is basically updating the manual library system into an internet-based
application so that the users can know the details of their accounts, availability of books and maximum
limit for borrowing. The project is specifically designed for the use of librarians and library users. The
product will work as a complete user interface for library management process and library usage from
ordinary users. Library Management System can be used by any existing or new library to manage its
books and book borrowing, insertion and monitoring. It is especially useful for any educational institute
where modifications in the content can be done easily according to requirements.

The project can be easily implemented under various situations. We can add new features as and when we
require, making reusability possible as there is flexibility in all the modules. The language used for
developing the project is Java as it is quite advantageous than other languages in terms of performance,
tools available, cross platform compatibility, libraries, cost (freely available), and development process.
