Assignment I.

Submission: Due to deadline. Into Moodle LMS.

Submission format: Word or PDF document containing ER-Diagram of the


system and textual description of the solution.

Total points given: 100 pts.

Objective

The goal of this assignment is to help you conceptualize and design a


database for a real-world business case using the knowledge of relational
databases. By completing this assignment, you will gain experience in analyzing
requirements, defining database entities, relationships, and designing an ER
diagram (with Normalization).

2.​ Business Case Description

Write a detailed explanation of your selected topic, including:

1.​ Overview of the Business Case:


o​ What is the system about?
o​ Who are the primary users (e.g., customers, employees,
administrators)?
o​ What are the primary goals or problems the system addresses?
2.​ Key Features of the System:
o​ List at least 3-5 main features (e.g., for a library system: manage
books, track loans, and record late fees).
3.​ Data Requirements:
o​ Describe the key data elements your database will handle (e.g., for a
shopping platform: products, customers, orders).

3.​ Database Design

Design the database structure for your topic by completing the following
steps:

1. Define entities, attributes and constraints.


2. Put the tables in the Third Normal Form (3NF) if possible. For proving the
correctness of your solution, you need to define Super keys, Candidate Keys and
Non-prime attributes for each table.
3. Put relationships on the tables.
4. Define cardinality for each relationship.
5. Define Primary and Foreign keys.

Hint: Use any drawing tool (except Paint) to implement your ER-Diagram.
