Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO2 Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system design.
LO3 Test the system against user and system requirements.
LO4 Produce technical and user documentation

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Page 1
 You are employed as a Database Developer for a large IT consultancy company namely CST. Your company
has many projects in many fields. And now, with your new position you need to develop several systems
for CST such as: Online Library system, Student Grading System, Online shopping system,
HealthCare system, ...And CST wants to develop some new systems to start up from any staff’s idea in
CST.
You are tasked to select one of those systems to develop database for CST or choose a new one. Your tasks
are to:
Work with CST to find out about current requirements for each system
Analyze the requirements and produce clear statements of user and system requirements.
Design a relational database system using appropriate design tools and techniques
Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system design.
Test the system against user and system requirements.
Produce technical and user documentation

Part 2 (Assignment 2)
Once the designs have been accepted by your manager you have been asked to:
1. Develop the database system using evidence of user interface, output and data validations and querying
across multiple tables.
You want to include more than just the basics so you will implement a fully functional database system
which will include system security and database maintenance features.
You have decided to implement a query language into the relational database system. The developed system
will be demonstrated to your manager.
Your manager has asked you to include in the report:
2. Assessing whether meaningful data has been extracted through the use of query tools to produce
appropriate management information.
3. Evaluating the effectiveness of the database solution in relation to user and system requirements,
and suggest improvements.
4. Once the system has been developed, you will test the system and your manager will complete a
witness statement indicating how your tests are performing against user and system requirements.
You will produce a brief report assessing the effectiveness of the testing, including an explanation of the
choice of test data used.
5. Lastly you will produce technical and user documentation which will be given to the company.
You want to provide some graphical representations for ease of reference in the technical guide, so you have
decided to produce a technical and user documentation for a fully functional system, including diagrams
showing movement of data through the system, and flowcharts describing how the system works.

 1.3. Data Validation
SQL constraints are used to specify rules for the data in a table.

Constraints are used to limit the type of data that can go into a table. This ensures the accuracy and reliability
of the data in the table. If there is any violation between the constraint and the data action, the action is
aborted.

Page 15
 ➢ I used constraint to limit data that user can create maximum is 5000 accounts for this table.

➢ I used constraint to limit data that user can create maximum is 1000 groups for this table.

➢ I used constraint to limit data that can create maximum is 2000 exams and each exam can create
minimum 1 minutes and maximum 280 minutes to finish this examination into table.

Page 16
 ➢ I used constraint to limit data that user can create maximum is 10000 students and check this student
is above 16 ages for this table.

➢ I used constraint to limit data that user can create maximum is 20 questions and check this question
has 4 answers for this table.

➢ I used constraint to limit data that check this question has 4 answers for this table.

2. Query language
In this section, we create stored procedure with INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE AND DELECT query. With
one statement, thus we can save time to add new rows, update values or delete records from database.

Page 18
 2.1. Insert data
We insert fulfill the data in the required fields. And @StatementType is Insert.

And we select data from Users then we see a new row added to database table.

Page 19
 2.2. Update data
After that, if we see any name or any value wrong is this database table. We use update statement as below:

So that, we see the row updated to database table as below:

Page 20
 2.3. Delete data
For deleting database, we check Users table with UserID = 17235 and we do not need to fill values in this
required fields but we need to enter some values if we cannot remember.

And we check Users table following deleted data where id is 17235, it does not exist.

Page 21
 2.4. Advanced queries
QUERY 1: SELECT * FROM Question_Answer

It lists the details of the question & answer in the examination.

QUERY 2: SELECT * FROM Students

It lists the details of the students including students' names, username, password, age and contact.

QUERY 3: SELECT * FROM ExamResult

It lists the detail of result of exam.

QUERY 4: UPDATE ExamResults SET ExamsID = 5002 WHERE QnAsID = 10;

It has changed the id of the exam with question_answer ID 10 from ‘5001' to ‘5002'.

QUERY 5: SELECT FullName FROM Students ST

INNER JOIN Groups G ON ST.GroupID = G.GroupID
WHERE G.GroupID = 1002

It lists name of student on group 1002

QUERY 5: SELECT ST.FullName, QA.Question, ER.Answer, QA.Answer

FROM (ExamResults ER INNER JOIN Students ST ON ER.StudentID = ST.StudentID)
INNER JOIN Question_Answer QA ON ER.QnAsID = QA.QnAsID AND ER.Answer =
QA.Answer

It lists name of student, question, answer the same with result

Testing has been done in parallel with database development and execution. The stage of the testing process
has been described below.

• During the database design process, it is checked whether the business rules and data integrity
constraints are preserved, normalization is performed properly or not. and whether functions are
preserved after normalization.
• Then during database development and implementation, the code was checked for typos. Once the
database has been developed, the data is carefully inserted according to business rules, user
requirements, and data integrity constraints.
• Finally, during query execution, it is checked to see if there are all tables in the database, are all the
tables filled with matching records or not, the data is enough to check it or not.
• Followed by a table containing details about the use cases. It helps to make a detailed comparison of
the expected and actual results of the different use cases, and comments are also added to indicate
whether the results match.

4.2. The instruction for updating and deleting record from

table
In some situation, user needs to update or delete the data for database. Following steps below to do this:

1) In the left side of the interface, it has a window which name “object explorer”. Clicking on the
“Examination_Online” database.

3) Right click on the table that you want to work on.

4) Choose the choice “edit top 200 row” to add or remove data.

4.3. The instructions for getting data form database

In this section, I will guide you guys about how to take an information from only one table and from many
tables:

From 1 table: In the query, please enter the code below:

Select *from [table Name]

Page 31
For example: Select * from Users

From many tables: In the query, please enter some the code below:

1/ Select [column], [column], etc. From [ table name] as ….

join [ table name] as …. where [condition]

For example, 1:

SELECT FullName FROM Students ST

INNER JOIN Groups G ON ST.GroupID = G.GroupID

WHERE G.GroupID = 1002

Page 32
 2/ Select [column], [column], etc. From [ table name] as ….

join [ table name] as …. on [same column}

For example, 2:

SELECT ST.FullName, QA.Question, ER.Answer, QA.Answer

FROM (ExamResults ER INNER JOIN Students ST ON ER.StudentID = ST.StudentID)
INNER JOIN Question_Answer QA ON ER.QnAsID = QA.QnAsID AND ER.Answer =
QA.Answer
