Activity 01

Activity 1.1
a. Identify the user and system requirements to design a database for the above
scenario.
b. Identify entities and attributes of the given scenario and design a relational database
system using conceptual design (ER Model) by including identifiers (primary Key) of
entities and cardinalities, participations of relationships.
c. 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.
Note: -It is allowed to have your own assumptions and related attributes within the scope
of the case study given.

Activity 1.2
a. Explain data normalization with examples. Check whether the provided logical
design in task 1.1 is normalised. If not, normalize the database by removing the
anomalies.
b. Design set of simple interfaces to input and output for the above scenario using
Wireframe or any interface-designing tool.

c. Explain the validation mechanisms to validate data in the tables with examples.

Activity 1.3
a. Check whether the given design (ERD and Logical design) is representing the identified
user and system requirements to access the effectiveness of the design.
Activity 2
Activity 2.1
Develop the database system with evidence of user interface, output and data validations,
and querying across multiple tables.
a. Develop a relational database system according to the ER diagram you have created
(Use SQL DDL statements).
b. Provide evidence of the use of a suitable IDE to create a simple interface to insert,
update and delete data in the database
c. Implement the validation methods explained in task 1.2-part c.
d. Display the details payment with the job details and the customer details using Join
queries

Activity 2.2
a. Explain the usage of DML with below mentioned queries by giving at least one single
example per each case from the developed database.
Select
Update
Delete
Note: - The queries you have selected should be meaningful and relevant to the given
scenario.
Activity 2.3
a. Explain how security mechanisms have been used and the importance of these
mechanisms for the security of the database. Implement proper security mechanisms
(EX: -User groups, access permissions) in the developed database.

Activity 2.4
a. Explain the usage of the below SQL statements with the examples from the developed
database
Group by
Order by
Having
Between
Where

Activity 3
Activity 3.1
a. Provide a suitable test plan to test the system against user and system requirements
b. Provide relevant test cases for the database you have implemented
Note: - Learner needs to give expected results in a tabular format and screenshots of the
actual results with the conclusion

Activity 3.2
a. Explain how the selected test data in task
3.1 b) can be used improve the effectiveness of testing.
Activity 3.3
a. 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 recommendations and suggestions for improvements in
a separate conclusion/recommendations section.

Activity 4
Activity 4.1
a. Prepare a simple users’ guide and a technical documentation for the support and
maintenance of the software.
Activity 4.2

a. Your technical documentation should include some of the UML diagrams (Use case
diagram Class diagram, etc.), flow charts for the important functionalities, context level
DFD and the Level 1 DFD

-Activity 4.3
a. Suggest the future improvements that may be required to ensure the continued
effectiveness of the database system.
