 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I undertook this Project work, as the part of my XII-Informatics

Practices course. I had tried to apply my best of knowledge and

experience, gained during the study and class work experience.

However, developing software system is generally a quite complex

and time-consuming process. It requires a systematic study, insight

vision and professional approach during the design and

development. Moreover, the developer always feels the need, the

help and good wishes of the people near you, who have
[3]
considerable experience and idea.I would like to extend my sincere

thanks and gratitude to my teacher Mrs. Pratibha Deshmukh . I am

very much thankful to our Principal Dr. Ajita Parbhat for giving

valuable time and moral support to develop this software. I would

like to take the opportunity to extend my sincere thanks and

gratitude to my parents for being a source of inspiration and

providing time and freedom to develop this software project. I also

[4]
feel indebted to my friends for the valuable suggestions during the

project work.

 INTRODUCTION
This software project is developed to automate the functionalities of

Libraries.The purpose of the software project is to develop a program which

provides a friendly interface for the Higher Authority to manage the accounts

of students and to know their Information. When this program made to work

by most Banks then it can be prove to be an ultimate way of usage for them.

A MIS mainly consists of a computerized database, a collection of inter-related

tables for a particular subject or purpose, capable to produce different reports

relevant to the user. An application program is tied with the database for easy

access and interface to the database. Using Application program or front-end,

we can store, retrieve and manage all information in proper way.

This software, being simple in design and working, does not require much of

training to officers but controlled fully by a tyro officer, and can be used as a

powerful tool for the Library Management .

During coding and design of the software Project, python a powerful front-end

tool is used for getting Graphical User Interface (GUI) based integrated

platform and coding simplicity. As a back-end a powerful, open source

RDBMS, My SQL is used as per requirement of the CBSE curriculum of

Informatics Practices Course.

[5]
 Objective & Scope of the Project

The objective of the software project is to develop the functions of Libraries. This

software project is also aimed to enhance the current record keeping system, which

will help managers to retrieve the up-to-date information at right time in right shape.

The proposed software system is expected to do the following functionality-

✔ To provide a user friendly.

✔ The proposed system should maintain all the records and transactions, and

should generate the required reports and information when required.

✔ To provide graphical and user-friendly interface to interact with a centralized

database based on client-server architecture.

✔ To identify the critical operation procedure and possibilities of simplification

using modern IT tools and practices.

In its current scope, the software enables Officer to retrieve and update the information
from centralized database designed with MySQL . This software does not require much
training time of the users due to limited functionality and simplicity.

[6]
Despite of the best effort of the developer, the following limitations and functional
boundaries are visible, which limits the scope of this application software.

1. This software can store records and produce reports in pre-designed format in
soft copy. There is no facility yet to produce customized reports. Only specified
reports are covered.
2. There is no provision to calculate fine or penalty etc. for defaulter members;
however it can be developed easily with the help of adding modules.
3. Some application areas like Updation along with Intrest of Money, Taking of
Loan etc. are not implemented in the project. This project is made by keeping in
mind that it is to be used only by Officers, which can facilitate ease control.
So far as future scope of the project is concerned, firstly it is open to any modular
expansion i.e. other modules or functions can be designed and embedded to handle the
Officer need in future. Any part of the software and reports can be modified
independently without much effort.

 Theoretical Background
What is Database?
Introduction and Concepts:
A database is a collection of information related to a particular subject or purpose, such
as tracking customer orders or maintaining a product collection. Using any RDBMS
application software like MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase etc, you can
manage all your information from a single database file. Within the file, divide your
data into separate storage containers called tables. You may and retrieve the data using
queries.
A table is a collection of data about a specific topic, such as products or suppliers.
Using a separate table for each topic means you can store that data only once, which
makes your database more efficient and reduces data-entry errors. Table organises data
into columns (called fields) and rows (called records).
A Primary key is one or more fields whose value or values uniquely identify each
record in a table. In a relationship, a primary key is used to refer to specific record in
one table from another table. A primary key is called foreign key when it is referred to
from another table.

To find and retrieve just the data that meets conditions you specify, including data from
multiple tables, create a query. A query can also update or delete multiple records at the
same time, and perform built-in or custom calculations on your data.

Role of RDBMS Application Program:

A computer database works as a electronic filing system, which has a large number of
ways of cross-referencing, and this allows the user many different ways in which to
[8]
re-organize and retrieve data. A database can handle business inventory, accounting and
filing and use the information in its files to prepare summaries, estimates and other
reports. The management of data in a database system is done by means of a
general-purpose software package called a Database Management System (DBMS).
Some commercially available DBMS are MS SQL Server, MS ACCESS, INGRES,
ORACLE, and Sybase. A database management system, therefore, is a combination of
hardware and software that can be used to set up and monitor a database, and can
manage the updating and retrieval of database that has been stored in it. Most of the
database management systems have the following capabilities:
♦ Creating of a table, addition, deletion, modification of records.

♦ Retrieving data collectively or selectively.

♦ The data stored can be sorted or indexed at the user's discretion and direction.

♦ Various reports can be produced from the system. These may be either

standardized report or that may be specifically generated according to specific

user definition.

♦ Mathematical functions can be performed and the data stored in the database can

be manipulated with these functions to perform the desired calculations.

♦ To maintain data integrity and database use.

The DBMS interprets and processes users' requests to retrieve information from a
database. In most cases, a query request will have to penetrate several layers of
software in the DBMS and operating system before the physical database can be
accessed. The DBMS responds to a query by invoking the appropriate subprograms,
each of which performs its special function to interpret the query, or to locate the
desired data in the database and present it in the desired order.

What is My SQL ?
The management of data in a database system is done by means of a general-purpose
software package called a Database Management System (DBMS). Some commercially
available RDBMS are MS SQL Server, MS ACCESS, INGRES, ORACLE, and
Sybase.
[9]
MySQL, the most popular Open Source SQL database management system, is
developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation. MySQL is named after
co-founder Monty Widenius's daughter, My. The name of the MySQL Dolphin (our
logo) is “Sakila,”.
● MySQL is a database management system.
A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple
shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a
corporate network. To add, access, and process data stored in a computer
database, you need a database management system such as MySQL Server. Since
computers are very good at handling large amounts of data, database
management systems play a central role in computing, as standalone utilities, or
as parts of other applications.
● MySQL is based on SQL.
A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data
in one big storeroom. This adds speed and flexibility. The SQL part of “MySQL”
stands for “Structured Query Language.” SQL is the most common standardized
language used to access databases and is defined by the ANSI/ISO SQL
Standard. The SQL standard has been evolving since 1986 and several versions
exist. In this manual, “SQL-92” refers to the standard released in 1992,
“SQL:1999” refers to the standard released in 1999, and “SQL:2003” refers to
the current version of the standard.
● MySQL software is Open Source.
Open Source means that it is possible for anyone to use and modify the software.
Anybody can download the MySQL software from the Internet and use it
without paying anything. If you wish, you may study the source code and change
it to suit your needs. The MySQL software uses the GPL (GNU General Public
License),
● The MySQL Database Server is very fast, reliable, and easy to use.
If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MySQL Server also
has a practical set of features developed in close cooperation with our users. You
can find a performance comparison of MySQL Server with other database
managers on our benchmark page. MySQL Server was originally developed to
handle large databases much faster than existing solutions and has been
successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several
years. Although under constant development, MySQL Server today offers a rich
and useful set of functions. Its connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL
Server highly suited for accessing databases on the Internet.
● MySQL Server works in client/server or embedded systems.
The MySQL Database Software is a client/server system that consists of a
multi-threaded SQL server that supports different backends, several different
[10]
 client programs and libraries, administrative tools, and a wide range of
application programming interfaces (APIs).

The Main Features of MySQL

● Written in C and C++.

● Works on many different platforms.
● Uses multi-layered server design with independent modules.
● Provides transactional and nontransactional storage engines.
● Designed to make it relatively easy to add other storage engines. This is useful if
you want to provide an SQL interface for an in-house database.
● Uses a very fast thread-based memory allocation system.
● Executes very fast joins using an optimized nested-loop join.
● Implements SQL functions using a highly optimized class library that should be
as fast as possible. Usually there is no memory allocation at all after query
initialization.
● Provides the server as a separate program for use in a client/server networked
environment, and as a library that can be embedded (linked) into standalone
applications. Such applications can be used in isolation or in environments where
no network is available.
● Password security by encryption of all password traffic when you connect to a
server.
● Support for large databases. We use MySQL Server with databases that contain
50 million records. We also know of users who use MySQL Server with 200,000
tables and about 5,000,000,000 rows.
● MySQL client programs can be written in many languages. A client library
written in C is available for clients written in C or C++, or for any language that
provides C bindings.
● APIs for C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl are available,
enabling MySQL clients to be written in many languages.
● The Connector/ODBC (MyODBC) interface provides MySQL support for client
programs that use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connections.
● The Connector/J interface provides MySQL support for Java client programs that
use JDBC connections. Clients can be run on Windows or Unix. Connector/J
source is available.

 System Design & Development
Database Design:
An important aspect of system design is the design of data storage structure. To begin
with a logical model of data structure is developed first. A database is a container
object which contains tables, queries, reports and data validation policies enforcement
rules or contraints etc. A logical data often represented as a records are kept in different
tables after reducing anomalies and redundancies. The goodness of data base design
lies in the table structure and its relationship.
This software project maintains a database named pylibrary which contains the
following tables.

Tables:-
In my awesome and amizing software of Library I have created three tables to make the software user
friendly and to make it different from others.Tables are shown below.
