Detailed Assignment Description
You are building an online business database of your choice. The database must have the followings
elements:
A manner for the customer to login to the online system
the list of product and their attributes (e.g. price, which should range between £1.00 to £100)
Customer transaction history (e.g. what they bought, how many items, and all the data relevant to the
transaction).
You need to produce a Written Report (1500 word max) which includes the title of the report, the authors
(and percentage each has contributed to its creation) and the following:
A. (23% of mark) Customer Brief – this is an essential part of both the project development and the
contract with the client as it helps guarantee that the work for a project will be done according to
specific guidelines and expectations of the client. Your brief should include:
o An Overview of what the business does (a short paragraph of max 500 words)
o A Concept Table (who, when, where, why, how)
o A conceptual model of the business and its attributes (e.g. main tables and columns needed in
the database) displayed visually in two manners as:
§ Axis Technique
§ Conceptual ER model
o A definition of all the key-works utilised by the business and their meanings.
B. (25% of mark) Show how from the conceptual ER model you have produced the logical ER model and
normalised it. In the report you need to present:
o First logical ER model (this is likely to be the same as the Conceptual ER model, where you
have ensured it has all the columns, but might not have all the keys)
o Logical ER model (1NF)
o Logical ER model (2NF)
o Logical ER model (3NF)
C. (10% of mark) Build the database in XAMMP (in the report you should provide the screen-shots of the
database creation)
o Create the database
o Create all the tables, with columns and keys
D. (32% of mark) Code the following queries in XAMMPS (in the report provide the screen-shots of the
queries code and results/print out):
o Produce a list of items which are low stock (e.g. below 20 items in the warehouse)
o Produce a list of customers that live in specific UK city that bought items above £20.00
o List the products of the company that have sold the most in the last month
o Produce an invoice on that day (date) for a specific customer (customer name and address)
that has more than one item and more than one quantity, and the total to be paid by the
customer
E. (10 % of mark) Composition of report
o Include a table of content and figures
o Include all screen-shot and graphics. These must be readable, that is of good quality and
appropriate for the size of the paper
o Ensure spelling and grammars have been taken care off.
