Introduction:
Nowadays, the internet and computers made our life easier especially in the business field.
Customers can buy anything, from anywhere by only few clicks. Business owners also are
making a huge amount of profit by selling their products on the internet. One of online business
are bookstores. Starting an online bookstore business needs to take the supply and demand into
account to provide the right number of books to the customers without any financial loss. This
project’s goal is to establish an online bookstore for industrial engineering students at King
Abdul-Aziz University called industrial engineering bookstore. The project aims to help the
students to find the books for their courses and to help the business owners in making a simple
data analysis based on the orders and this will be done through oracle forms and other tools.

How this project will support the environment:

Preserving the environment is a priority to the industrial engineering bookstore and this priority
will be achieved through many aspects. First, the bookstore banned the use of the paper bills
and the electronic bills will be used instead. This decision will help to reduce cutting down
tress and contributes to preserving vegetation. Second, recyclable and environmentally friendly
bags will be used instead of plastic bags since the impact of the plastic bags on the environment
is very high. Finally, low emission of CO2 cars will be used in the delivery process.

How this project will support the society:

The project is supporting the society by increasing the scientific and cultural outcomes of the
industrial engineering students which could lead eventually to country development, The
prosperity of civilization and the increase in the economic resources of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia.

How this project contributes to health and safety:

Nowadays, the whole word faces the COVID-19 pandemic which is known as coronavirus
pandemic. A significant social and economic disruption caused by the pandemic. In order to
reduce the infection rate, a lot of countries have restricted free movement and closed their
borders. Moreover, quarantines and lockdowns were enforced by governments. The world
health organization suggests social distancing to overcome this pandemic. In this project,
students do not need to go anywhere to buy a book, they can order while they are at home and
the order will be arrived at their home. This project will help students to avoid interacting with
people directly which reduces the probability of increasing the infection rate and that
contributes to the health and safety of the whole society and world not only the students.

Comparison between C# and Oracle:

C# programming language is used to create programs that used by a single person or to
perform day to day tasks. On the other hand, oracle usually used when creating database-
oriented projects. So, using oracle in this project is much more efficient than using C#
programming language.

Estimated cost for project:
The project started in March 30, 2021 and a lot of tasks were involved in this project such as:
brainstorming for project’s idea, creating logo for the project, creating tables, searching and
learning about new innovations, testing and writing the report. To complete the project I
needed an average of 3 hours daily. 18 working days * 3 hours per day = 54 total working
hours. If the cost per hour is equal to SAR 70, the total estimated cost would be = 54 total
working hours * SAR 70 cost per hour = SAR 3,780

The sustainability of the project:

This project will help universities to provide books for their students through an official
platform. Since the Saudi public universities are non-profit universities, the books will be sold
with competitive prices. The idea of establishing an online bookstore is costing less money
than renting or buying a place to establish the bookstore. For these reasons the project will be
a sustainable project.

Created tables:
1-Books

Create table books (

ISBN varchar2(13),
Book_Name varchar2(70),
Authers_Names varchar2(65),
Course_No varchar2(5),
Edition varchar2(2),
Price number(6),
CONSTRAINTS BOOKS_ISBN_PK PRIMARY KEY (ISBN));

alter table books

add (BIM BLOB);

alter table books

add (available_qty number(3));

2
2- Students

Create table Students (

Student_id varchar2(7) constraints st_id unique,
Student_password varchar2(30) constraints sp not null ,
Student_name varchar2(50) constraints sn not null,
Student_phone_number varchar2(10) constraints spn not null,
Student_Location_Details varchar2(200) constraints sld not null);

3- orders

Create table orders (

ISBN varchar2(13),
Quantity number(2) constraints qua not null,
order_date date not null,
arrival_date date not null,
order_number number(10),
CONSTRAINTS ISBN_FK FOREIGN KEY (ISBN) REFERENCES books (ISBN));

alter table orders

add (Total_price number(6,2));

alter table orders

add (card_no number(16) not null);

alter table orders

add (cvv number(3) not null);

3
alter table orders
add (CARD_EX_M number(2) not null);

alter table orders

add (CARD_EX_Y number(4) not null);

alter table orders

add (name_on_card varchar2(30) not null);

alter table orders

add (student_ID varchar2(7));

4- Admins
create table admins (
user_id varchar2(10) constraint AD_UQ unique,
a_password varchar2(20) not null);

Screen shots of the forms:

1- Login form

After login as student:
2- Books search engine form

3- Ordering form

5
 4- Completing the order

After login as admin:

1- Main menu for admins

6
2- Adding a new book

3- Showing all the registered students

7
 4- Showing all the received orders

Codes for the procedures of all the innovations:

1- Create an account for a student:

8
2- Login for students:

9
3- Alert when trying to exit the ordering process:

10
 4- Search box with changeable images depending on the book:

Search by course number:

11
Search by book’s ISBN:

12
5- Student cannot proceed with the order if the book is out of stock:

13
6- A timer to close the payment form after 5 minutes if its not filled for
security reasons:

14
After a timer of 300,000 milliseconds (5 minutes) was created, a message will appear and the
form will be closed when the timer is expired as shown in the following image:

15
7- Calendar:

8- Arrival date cannot be less than the order date:

16
9- Unique order number for each order:

17
10- Dynamic total price that changes depending on the quantity:

18
11- Updating the available quantity after each order.
This innovation was done by calling a global variable of the quantity from the
previous form:

19
Then, when the quantity is changed the available quantity will be subtracted from
quantity into a non-visible item box:

After that, a post insert trigger is initiated to update the quantity in the data base with
the new value, the value of the non-visible text item.

20
12- Order cannot be done if the quantity exceeds the number of books on
stock:

21
 13- Establishing a SQL plus database connection with Microsoft
office via Devart tool:
To establish a connection after installing the Devart tool, we can open an excel
sheet then go to devart tool

Then press on get data

An import data wizard window will appear, we need to fill the text items
with the SQL plus user, password and server.

22
After that we will have the access to all the tables in the server, we can
choose which table we want to import from object option.

The data of chosen table from the data base will be previewed before
inserting them in the following image:

23
The following image shows the data after the importing process:

Now, the excel sheet is connected with orders table that is on SQL plus, if the
data on SQL plus is changed or updated all what we have to do in excel sheet is
to refresh the page through the refresh button on Devart section:

Conclusion:
At the end of the project, I learned a lot of things about oracle environment, and I also applied
what I learned in the course. In addition, many of innovations were leaned from the internet
and applied in this project. Finally, I hope this project will help universities for establishing
their own bookstores.
