Background:
As a programmer, we all need a platform where we can connect with different
people and learn more about the industry. To overcome this problem, we think of
a system (MeCoLr) where we connect beginners with professionals and help them
grow faster and better. This system provides different features for their users.
MeCoLr is implemented using file system last year, this year we are trying to
compile our system and integrating with database to make it more stable and
convenient.

What is MeCoLr?
MeCoLr is a platform that connect different user on one platform providing them
the opportunity to get help from each other and connect with industry
professional. MeCoLr have three different user that are Learner, Contributor and
Mentor. Each of the user have different access of the site and have different
functionalities that they can used.

Major Features of the system includes:

Query

• Learner can add different queries using our platform which can be
answered by both Mentor and Contributor

• Leaner can create, view, edit and delete their previous posted
queries.

Project

• Mentor can add different project by posting its details on our

platform.
4
 Mentor can create, view, edit and delete their previous posted
projects.

• Mentor can request any contributor to join them in their project.

Contributor

• Contributor can contribute to different projects hosted by different

Mentor.

• Contributor can answer different query which is posted by Learner.

Follow

• Learner can follow any contributor and Mentor. He can also follow
Project that are hosted by Mentor.

• Contributor can follow different Mentor and Projects and request to

contribute.

Feedback

• Each user can post as many feedback on MeCoLr.

Settings

• Each user have the access to change it username and its details.

• User can also change their password but user must enter its old
password for security concern.

View

User can view their profile and can also make changes to his/her
profile.

5
 Help

• Team of MeCoLr is always there for you, User can reach out to team
in case of any issues.

• User can also view FAQs which can be very helpful to understand the
structure and model of the website.

Scenario:
MeCoLr is a system that supports three users as Learner, Contributor, and Mentor.
As for Learner, he can post any query he has which can be answered by either
Contributor or Mentor. As for Contributor, he can contribute to different project,
he is someone who has enough knowledge and some previous experience. As for
Mentor, he can create different projects by using the MeCoLr platform. One
Project can have different contributors which are working together as a team,
whereas learners can follow up on any project. Users can also follow other users.
All the queries have their particular ids which are saved in a database all users
have their particular ids as well. Which is used to fetch data from database using
joining and other functionality. Option of giving feedbacks is also available.

General Constraints:
In this schema, the suggested general constraints would be:

NOT NULL:
The NOT NULL constraint enforces a column to NOT accept NULL values.

NULL:
A NULL value in a table is a value in a field that appears to be blank. A field with a NULL value is a field
with no value.

AUTO_INCREMENT:
Auto-increment allows a unique number to be generated automatically when a new record is
inserted into a table.

The table register have general constraints of AUTO_INCREMENT which will increment the value of
Reg_id by one at each entry.
