Assignment brief

Quiet Attic Films is a film production company based in London, England who specialize in
making short information films and advertisements for television. They want you to design and
implement a database that meets the requirements for their data. These requirements are
specified in this scenario and the examples of paper documents kept by the company shown
below.

Quiet Attic Films organize their data around the concept of a ‘production’. A production is
specified as being for a particular client; but note that a client might have more than one
production at any time. A production will take place at one or more locations. A production
will also use a number of, what are called, properties, which might be anything from an actual
property like a building, to costumes or small items of any sort. It is important to keep a record
of which properties are required at which location.here should also be a record kept of the
staff types that are assi

Activity 1

Identify the user and system requirements to design a database for the above scenario and
design a relational database system using conceptual design (ER Model) by including identifiers
(primary Key) of entities and cardinalities, participations of relationships. Convert the ER
Model into logical database design using relational database model including primary keys
foreign keys and referential Integrities.

It should contain at least five interrelated tables. Check whether the provided logical design is
normalised. If not, normalize the database by removing the anomalies.

(Note:-It is allowed to have your own assumptions and related attributes within the scope of
the case study given)

Design set of simple interfaces to input and output for the above scenario using Wireframe or
any interface-designing tool. Evaluate the effectiveness of the given design (ERD and Logical
design) in terms of the identified user and system requirements.

Activity 2

Develop a relational database system according to the ER diagram you have created (Use SQL
DDL statements). Provide evidence of the use of a suitable IDE to create a simple interface to
insert, update and delete data in the database. Implement proper security mechanisms in the
developed database and evaluate the database solution developed in terms of its effectiveness
with relevance to the user and system requirements identified, system security mechanisms

 lOMoARcPSD|50495251

(EX: -User groups, access permissions) and the maintenance of the database. Suggest
improvements for any identified problems.

Assess the usage of the below SQL statements with the examples from the developed
database to prove that the data extracted through them are meaningful and relevant to the
given scenario.

Select/ Where / Update / Between / In / Group by / Order by / Having

Activity 3

3.1 Provide a suitable test plan to test the system against user and system requirements.
Provide relevant test cases for the database you have implemented. Assess how the selected
test data can be used to improve the effectiveness of testing.

Note: - Learner needs to give expected results in a tabular format and screenshots of the actual
results with the conclusion

3.2 Get independent feedback on your database solution from the non-technical users and
some developers (use surveys, questioners, interviews or any other feedback collecting
method) and make a separate conclusion from the feedbacks.

Activity 4

Produce technical and user documentation for a fully functional system, including data flow
diagrams showing movement of data through the system, and flowcharts describing how the
system works. Evaluate the developed database by suggesting future enhancements to ensure
the effectiveness of the system.

Activity 01
1.1. Introduction
In this scenario, database refers to a structured collection of data designed and
implemented to store and manage information related to the operations of Quiet Attic
Films, a film production company.

The purpose of the database is to efficiently organize and manage various aspects of your
business such as productions, clients, locations, properties, staff types, etc.

A database allows Quiet Attic Films to store and retrieve data in a structured and
organized manner.

In this particular scenario, Quiet Attic Films can use the database to track productions,
associated clients, locations, properties and employee types.

1.2. Requirements
There are two types of requirements.

1. User requirements.
2. System requirements.

1.2.1. User Requirements

1. Ability to manage client productions.
2. Ability to track where productions are being held.
3. Ability to keep a record of which property is used when and where.
4. Keeps records of personnel types assigned to productions.

1.2.2. System Requirements

1. Stores information about production, customers, locations, property, and employee
types.
2. Establish relationships between productions, customers, locations, real estate and
talent types.
3. Ensure data integrity and eliminate data anomalies.
4. Provides an interface for data input and output.

1.3.1. Relationships

In the context of the scenario provided by Quiet Attic Films, relationships play a key role
in organizing and connecting different entities in a database. With the help of these
relationships, connections between production, customers, locations, objects and
personnel types can be established.

1. Production – Location
 One production can be filmed in several locations.
 One location can be used in several productions.
 Relationship – Many to Many

2. Production – Client
 One production only can be owned by one client.

 lOMoARcPSD|50495251

 A client can owned several productions.

 Relationship – Many to One

3. Production – Property
 One production can use many properties.
 One property can be used in many productions.
 Relationship – Many to Many

4. Production – StaffType
 One production can have multiple staff types.
 One staff type can involve in several productions.
 Relationship – Many to Many

1.3.2. Cardinalities

In the context of the Quiet Attic Films scenario, cardinality refers to the number of
instances or records that can be related across different tables in the database. This helps
define the nature of the relationship and determine how the entities are related.

1. Production – Location
 There can be productions without locations.
 There can be locations without productions.
 Cardinality (Production)
 Maximum Cardinality : many
 Minimum Cardinality : zero
 Cardinality (Location)
 Maximum Cardinality : many
 Minimum Cardinality : zero

2. Production – Client
 There can be no productions without clients.

Normalization
Normalization is the process of database design aimed at eliminating data redundancy,
improving data integrity, and optimizing data storage and retrieval. This includes reducing
data duplication and organizing database tables and their relationships so that each piece
of information is stored in only one place for it. In the Quiet Attic Films scenario,
normalization helps structure the database efficiently.

1.6. Normalization
 Simplifying the many to many relationship between Production and Location.

2.2. Data Validation

Data validations are essential checks implemented in a database system to ensure the
accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the data being stored. These validations enforce rules
and constraints on the input data, preventing the entry of invalid or inconsistent
information.

For example, data validations can include checks for data types, lengths, formats, and
ranges. They can verify that required fields are not left empty, and that dates are entered
in the correct format. Additionally, data validations can enforce referential integrity by
verifying the existence of related records in other tables through foreign key constraints.

By implementing data validations, the database system can prevent the storage of
incorrect or irrelevant data, leading to a more reliable and consistent database. These
validations help maintain data quality and improve the overall effectiveness of the system
by ensuring that only valid and meaningful data is stored and processed.

2.4. Security mechanisms using in database developing

Database security is a critical aspect of protecting sensitive information and ensuring the
integrity of a database system. It involves implementing various measures to prevent
unauthorized access, safeguard data from breaches, and maintain data confidentiality.

2.4.1. User authentication

Implementing robust user authentication mechanisms, such as username and password

verification or multi-factor authentication, to ensure that only authorized users can access
the database.

2.4.2. User roles and permissions

Assign specific rights and permissions to users based on their roles and responsibilities.
This restricts access to sensitive data and database functions and ensures that users can
only perform authorized actions.

1. Administer / Super user :

 Has complete control and privileges all over the database.

 lOMoARcPSD|50495251

3. Data entry operators

 Responsible for adding and updating data in the database.
 Have permission to insert, update and delete records in only data entry
forms.
 Works under limited or read only access to other data and database objects.

4. Data analysts
 Tasked with analysing data and generating reports based on user
requirements.
 Have permissions to run queries, retrieve data and generate reports from
relevant tables.

 lOMoARcPSD|50495251

2.4.4. Encryption

In the given scenario, encryption plays a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive

information stored in the database of Quiet Attic Films. Encryption is a security technique
used to convert plain text data, such as client details or financial records, into an
unreadable format called cipher text. This ensures that even if unauthorized individuals
gain access to the database, they cannot interpret or access the sensitive data without the
decryption key.

Quiet Attic Films can employ encryption mechanisms to protect data both at rest and
during transmission. Encryption at rest involves encrypting the data stored in the
database, ensuring that it remains secure even if the physical storage is compromised.
This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information, such as client contact details
or production-related data.

2.4.5. Backup and disaster recovery

In the given scenario of Quiet Attic Films, implementing backup and disaster recovery
measures is crucial to ensure data integrity and availability, as well as to minimize the
impact of system failures or data loss.

By regularly performing backups, Quiet Attic Films can protect against data loss caused
by hardware failures, software errors, or human mistakes.

In the event of data corruption or accidental deletion, the organization can restore the
database from a recent backup, ensuring that critical information is not permanently lost.

This includes considerations such as alternative backup locations, backup restoration

procedures, and testing the recovery plan to ensure its effectiveness.

By implementing backup and disaster recovery measures, Quiet Attic Films can minimize
downtime, prevent data loss, and ensure business continuity.

 lOMoARcPSD|50495251

In the event of a system failure or data

breach, they can recover the database quickly and efficiently,
reducing the impact on their operations and minimizing potential financial and
reputational damage.

Regular testing and validation of backup and disaster recovery procedures are essential to
ensure their effectiveness.

Summary

The database design for Quiet Attic Films is organized around the concept of a
"production" and is designed to meet the requirements of the film production company.
The database includes interrelated tables for clients, locations, properties, staff types, and
productions. Each production is associated with a client, one or more locations, and
utilizes various properties and staff types. The design includes proper primary keys,
foreign keys, and referential integrity constraints to maintain data integrity and
relationships. The database is normalized to remove anomalies and improve data
efficiency. The system also incorporates security mechanisms, user roles, and permissions
to protect data and control access. Additionally, interfaces and data validations have been
implemented to ensure smooth interactions and accurate data entry. Continuous
improvements and feedback will help maintain the effectiveness of the database system
over time.
