I will be making database plan on Fashion Retailing
shop

I choose this topic because managing a retail shop is very tough task. From managing employee to
keeping update on inventory it is a huge task to perform. The chances of data duplication and data
reteduncy is very high in bill counter, to keep everyday employee attendance record, to keep record
of inventory. Database helps in running a retail shop much efficient.
Influence of Database in the Fashion Retail Shop

■ Databases help to improve overall customer satisfaction because they allow

businesses to provide fast and easy service for their customers. One example of
this is smart checkout technology. This type of technology enables your customers
to purchase items from your store without actually being in your store. . 
■ Databases are essentially a storage unit on your computer. They can store all sorts
of information that can help you better figure out who to market your product to.
For example, data can provide you with accurate information on which type of
people are buying certain products, such as their age, gender, ethnicity, etc. If you
use the technology and find that 80 percent of people who buy your products are
female, it would be immensely beneficial for you to come up with a marketing
strategy to try and target females.
■ The inevitable result of using database technology is the immediate increase in
revenue for your business. By having access to various types of business data, it
makes it that much easier to come up with ways to increase your revenue. By
storing all of your business information using databases, you can easily figure out
which products are selling well, and which aren’t. You can then use that
information to allocate your business’s resources accordingly.
What is an ER diagram

■ An Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram is a type of flowchart that illustrates how

“entities” such as people, objects or concepts relate to each other within a
system. ER Diagrams are most often used to design or debug relational
databases in the fields of software engineering, business information systems,
education and research. Also known as ERDs or ER Models, they use a defined
set of symbols such as rectangles, diamonds, ovals and connecting lines to
depict the interconnectedness of entities, relationships and their attributes.

Advantages of ER Diagram

Conceptually it is very simple: ER model is very simple because if we know relationship between entities and
attributes, then we can easily draw an ER diagram.

Better visual representation: ER model is a diagrammatic representation of any logical structure of database.
By seeing ER diagram, we can easily understand relationship among entities and relationship.

Effective communication tool: It is an effective communication tool for database designer.

Highly integrated with relational model: ER model can be easily converted into relational model by simply
converting ER model into tables.

Easy conversion to any data model: ER model can be easily converted into another data model like
hierarchical data model, network data model and so on.
What is DFD

■ A data-flow diagram is a way of representing a flow of data through

a process or a system (usually an information system). The DFD also provides
information about the outputs and inputs of each entity and the process itself. A
data-flow diagram has no control flow, there are no decision rules and no loops.
Specific operations based on the data can be represented by a flowchart.

NORMALISATION OF DATABASE TABLES

■ Database Normalization is a technique of organizing the data in the database. Normalization is

a systematic approach of decomposing tables to eliminate data redundancy(repetition) and
undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anomalies. It is a multi-step
process that puts data into tabular form, removing duplicated data from the relation tables.
■ Normalization is used for mainly two purposes,
• Eliminating redundant(useless) data.
• Ensuring data dependencies make sense i.e data is logically stored.
First Normal Form (1NF)

■ For a table to be in the First Normal Form, it should follow the following 4
rules:
1. It should only have single(atomic) valued attributes/columns.
2. Values stored in a column should be of the same domain
3. All the columns in a table should have unique names.
4. And the order in which data is stored, does not matter.
Second Normal Form (2NF)

■ For a table to be in the Second Normal Form,

1. It should be in the First Normal form.
2. And, it should not have Partial Dependency.
Third Normal Form (3NF)

■ A table is said to be in the Third Normal Form when,

1. It is in the Second Normal form.
2. And, it doesn't have Transitive Dependency.
