Library Management System Using SQL


Instructor: Abdulhadi Sanusi
a. Database Schema Creation

You are required to create a database schema for managing a library system with the following

entities and attributes:

1. Books with attributes:: ISBN (Primary Key), Title, Author, Genre, Quantity

CREATE TABLE Books (

ISBN VARCHAR(13) PRIMARY KEY,

Title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,

Author VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,

Genre VARCHAR(100),

Quantity INT DEFAULT 0

);

2. Members with attributes: MemberID (Primary Key), Name, Email, Phone

CREATE TABLE Members (

MemberID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

Name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,

Email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,

Phone VARCHAR(15)

);
3. Loans with attributes:: LoanID (Primary Key), MemberID (Foreign Key), ISBN (Foreign

Key), LoanDate, ReturnDate

CREATE TABLE Loans (

LoanID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

MemberID INT,

ISBN VARCHAR(13),

LoanDate DATE NOT NULL,

ReturnDate DATE,

FOREIGN KEY (MemberID) REFERENCES Members(MemberID),

FOREIGN KEY (ISBN) REFERENCES Books(ISBN)

);

b. SQL Query Implementation

Once the database schema is designed, implement the following SQL queries. Provide

screenshots of the executed queries and the resulting records from the tables.

1. Insert Records

Write SQL INSERT statements to add new records into each of the following tables:

- Books

- Members
- Loans

Inserting a record into the Books table:

INSERT INTO Books (ISBN, Title, Author, Genre, Quantity)

VALUES ('978-3-16-148410-0', 'The Great Gatsby', 'F. Scott Fitzgerald', 'Fiction', 5);

Inserting a record into the Members table:

INSERT INTO Members (Name, Email, Phone) VALUES ('John Doe', '[email protected]',

'1234567890');
Inserting a record into the Loans table:

INSERT INTO Loans (MemberID, ISBN, LoanDate, ReturnDate)

VALUES (1, '978-3-16-148410-0', '2024-10-03', '2024-10-17');

2. Retrieve Borrowed Books

SELECT Members.Name, Books.Title, Loans.LoanDate, Loans.ReturnDate

FROM Members

JOIN Loans ON Members.MemberID = Loans.MemberID

JOIN Books ON Loans.ISBN = Books.ISBN

WHERE Members.MemberID = '1';


3. Update Book Quantity

UPDATE Books

SET Quantity = Quantity - 1

WHERE ISBN = '978-3-16-148410-0';

4. Delete a Member Record


DELETE FROM Members

WHERE MemberID = '3';

c. Documentation and Comments

-- Create the Books table to store information about books in the library
CREATE TABLE Books (

ISBN VARCHAR(13) PRIMARY KEY, -- Unique identifier for each book (ISBN)

Title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, -- Title of the book

Author VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, -- Author of the book

Genre VARCHAR(100), -- Genre of the book (optional)

Quantity INT DEFAULT 0 -- Number of copies available (default is 0)

);

-- Create the Members table to store information about library members

CREATE TABLE Members (

MemberID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, -- Unique identifier for each

member (automatically increments)

Name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, -- Name of the member

Email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL, -- Email address of the member (must be

unique)
Phone VARCHAR(15) -- Phone number of the member (optional)

);

-- Create the Loans table to track the loan transactions of books

CREATE TABLE Loans (

LoanID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, -- Unique identifier for each loan

transaction (automatically increments)

MemberID INT, -- Foreign key linking to the Members table

ISBN VARCHAR(13), -- Foreign key linking to the Books table

LoanDate DATE NOT NULL, -- Date when the book was loaned out

ReturnDate DATE, -- Date when the book was returned (optional)

FOREIGN KEY (MemberID) REFERENCES Members(MemberID), -- Establishes a

relationship with the Members table

FOREIGN KEY (ISBN) REFERENCES Books(ISBN) -- Establishes a relationship with the

Books table
);

Summary of the Script

 The Books table holds data about each book, including its ISBN, title, author, genre, and

quantity available.

 The Members table contains details of library members, such as their IDs, names,

emails, and phone numbers.

 The Loans table records the transactions of books being loaned out, including which

member borrowed which book, when it was borrowed, and when it was returned.
