Overview
I am 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 they need to have an automated system to handle day today
operational activities to meet customer demands.so I am given the job to design and
develop a database solution for SmartMovers to meet their business requirements.
Activity 01
What is a Database?
A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, stored in a
computer system. A database is generally controlled by a database management
system (DBMS). Together, the data and the DBMS, beside with the applications that
are associated with them, are referred to as a database system, often shortened to just
database.
What are user and system requirements?
User requirements, frequently referred to as user needs, define what the user does
with the system, such as what activities that users must be able to perform. User
requirements are generally documented in a User Requirements Document (URD)
using narrative text. User requirements are generally signed off by the user and used
as the primary input for creating system requirements.
An important and tough step of designing a software product is determining what the
user actually wants it to do. This is because the user is often not able to communicate
the wholeness of their needs and wants, and the information they provide may also be
imperfect, inaccurate and self-conflicting. The responsibility of completely
understanding what the customer wants falls on the business analyst. This is why user
requirements are generally considered separately from system requirements. The
business analyst carefully analyzes user requirements and carefully constructs and
documents a set of high quality system requirements ensuring that that the
requirements meet certain quality features.
System requirements are the building blocks developers use to build the system.
These are the traditional “shall” statements that define what the system “shall do.”
System requirements are categorized as either functional or supplemental
requirements. A functional requirement specifies something that a user needs to

Page | 8
Godrick Naveen - HND in Computing |DDD Assignment 01
perform their work. For example, a system may be required to enter and print cost
estimates, this is a functional requirement. Supplemental or non-functional
requirements specify all the remaining requirements not covered by the functional
requirements. Supplemental requirements are sometimes called quality of service
requirements. The plan for implementing functional requirements is detailed in the
system design. The plan for implementing supplemental requirements is detailed in
the system architecture.
In this case the user and requirements for the company are,
User Requirements
 The system must be able to calculate according to the customers wants.
 The system must have login and password for security.
 The interface must not be complicated to the user

System Requirements
 Processor (CPU):Intel Core i5 (sixth generation or newer) or equivalent
 Operating System:Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64
 Memory:8 GB RAM
 Storage:512 GB internal Solid State Drive (SSD) or 1 TB internal HDD
 Monitor/Display:24" LCD monitor
 Network Adaptor:802.11ac 2.4/5 GHz wireless adapter
 Other:Webcam, lock, external drive for backups
ER (Entity Relationship ) Diagram
An ER diagram illustrates the relationship among entity sets. An entity set is a group
of similar entities and these entities can have attributes. In terms of DBMS, an entity
is a table or attribute of a table in database, so by displaying relationship among tables
and their attributes, ER diagram shows the complete logical structure of a database.
Below showed is the ERD of “SmartMovers”.

What is Normalization?
Normalization is the process of reorganizing data in a database so that it meets two
basic requirements:
There is no redundancy of data, all data is stored in only one place.
Data dependencies are logical, all related data items are stored together.
Normalization is important for many reasons, but chiefly because it allows databases
to take up as little disk space as possible, resulting in increased performance.
Normalization is also known as data normalization.

Logical Database Design

What is a Logical Database Design?
Logical database design is the process of determining how to arrange the attributes of
the entities in a given business environment into database structures, such as the tables
of a relational database. The objective of logical database design is to create well-
structured tables that properly reflect the company's business environment. The tables
will be able to store data about the company's entities in a non-redundant manner and
foreign keys will be placed in the tables so that all the relationships among the entities
will be supported.

Data validation
What is Data validation?
Data validation means checking the accuracy and quality of source data before using,
importing or otherwise processing data. Different types of validation can be
performed depending on destination constraints or objectives. Data validation is a
form of data cleansing.
Data Validation used in Smart Movers
Primary Key validation
Primary key analysis information allows to validate the primary keys that are already
defined in the data and identify columns that are candidates for primary keys. A
primary key must be unique and cannot contain null values.
Not Null Constraint
A NOT NULL constraint in SQL is used to prevent inserting NULL values into the
specified column, considering it as a not accepted value for that column.
Foreign Key constraint
A Foreign Key is a key used to link two tables together. A Foreign Key is a field or
collection of fields in one table that denotes to the Primary key in another table.

Requirements with Database design
In this particular case the entire system is represented in an ER Diagram, so it gives
an idea about how the system operates. The customers are the ones who requests the
orders and the orders are carried out by the transport unit. To identify the customers,
they are given an unique “ID” Which is shown as Customer_ID” which is used as
primary key in the database design. Which is also given to the product, depot, load,
transport and job to uniquely identify the specific and accurate details. The system is
also designed user friendly to the customers so they don’t face any complications
while logging into the Smart Movers system interface.

Implementing the database records
DDL Statements
DDL refers to “Data Definition Language”, a subclass of SQL statements that change
the structure of the database scheme in some way, typically by creating, deleting, or
altering scheme objects such as databases, tables, and views. Most DDL statements
start with the keywords CREATE, DROP, or ALTER.
