, Assignment brief
Case study
You are employed as a Database Developer for a large IT development company.
The company has been approached by a transport company called SmartMovers
which has grown to a level where need to have an automated system to handle
day today operational activities to meet customer demands. You are given the job
to design and develop a database solution for SmartMovers to meet their
business requirements.
The company transports chemical products from one location to another on
behalf of registered customers. Customers are of three types namely Catogory1, 2
and 3. Each customer is given a unique customer number and his or her details
have to be recorded in the system.
Each transport operation is called a job, which involves picking up one or more
loads of the products from a customer requested start location and delivers it to a
customer requested destination. A unique number is given for each job and for
each load when they are created.
A Load is transported using a particular transport unit, which consists of a lorry, a
driver, assistant, and a container (for carrying the product) A container is fixed to
a trailer so it needs to be coupled to a lorry at the start of a Job. (Single container
can transport only one chemical product due to safety requirements)
Payments for a job depends on customer type, product type (No Risk, High risk)
and the load type (small, medium and large). Transport operations are run from 9
regional depots. Jobs are allocated to individual depots to service. Depots hold,
manage and maintain their own transport units which are permanently allocated
to them to service Jobs. Normally transport units are held at the base Depot they
belong.
The final system should be able to provide the required information for
management decision making and to handle daily operations efficiently and
effectively.
Task 1 – (LO1) Use an appropriate design tool to design a relational database
system for a substantial problem
Page | ii
Unit 4-Database Design and Development
, Task 1.1
(P1) Design a relational database system using appropriate design tools and
techniques, containing at least four interrelated tables, with clear statements of
user and system requirements.
a. Identify the user and system requirements to design a database for the
above scenario.
b. Identify entities and attributes of the given scenario and design a
relational database system using conceptual design (ER Model) by
including identifiers (primary Key) of entities and cardinalities,
participations of relationships.
c. Convert the ER Model into logical database design using relational
database model including primary keys foreign keys and referential
Integrities. It should contain at least five interrelated tables.
Note:-It is allowed to have your own assumptions and related attributes within
the scope of the case study given.
Task 1.2
(M1) Produce a comprehensive design for a fully functional system, which
includes interface and output designs, data validations and data normalisation.
a. Explain data normalization with examples. Check whether the provided
logical design in task 1.1 is normalised. If not, normalize the database by
removing the anomalies.
b. Design set of simple interfaces to input and output for the above
scenario using Wireframe or any interface-designing tool.
c. Explain the validation mechanisms to validate data in the tables with
examples.
Task 1.3
(D1) Assess the effectiveness of the design in relation to user and system
requirements
a. Check whether the given design (ERD and Logical design) is representing
the identified user and system requirements to access the effectiveness
of the design.
Task 2 - LO2 Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an
existing system design
Task 2.1
(P2) Develop the database system with evidence of user interface, output and
