CS/SE 6360.002 - FINAL PROJECT
Project Description:
In this project, you need to design a database system for a given domain. For this, first you
need to conduct research about the domain itself and collect data requirements (such as
information about the main components of the system, how the system works, how
different entities interact with each other etc.) Then you will try to design a system as
practical as possible. This means, assumptions you make should comply well with real-
world situations/scenarios.
Tasks:
Step 1: Write the data requirements for the system.
Step 2: Draw the initial ER diagram for your system. ER diagrams should be drawn
electronically. You can use any chart-drawing tool of your choice. (i.e. Erwin,
lucidchart.com, etc)
A minimal system design should include at least:
a. two one-to-one binary relationships.
b. two one-to-many binary relationships.
c. two many-to-many binary relationships.
You can create more relationships if required.
Indicate cardinality and participation constraints on ER diagram. You can use different
notations to show cardinality ratios. (i.e. min-max notation, Crow’s Foot notation)
Step 3: Map the ER diagram into relational schema. Show the resulting relational schema:
show your tables, primary keys and foreign keys.
Step 4: Discuss database normalization rules on your tables. Show the functional
dependencies that violate 1st, 2nd and 3rd normal forms. Normalize your table(s) into 3NF.
Step 5: Show the final relational schema after normalization.
Step 6: Create tables using appropriate SQL command. Make sure to include primary key
and foreign key definitions and triggered actions on foreign keys. Decide also about NULL/
NOT NULL and DEFAULT values for the attributes.
Step 7: PL/SQL: Define two different stored procedures and two triggers.
