Assignment 01
General Guidelines

1. A Cover page or title page – You should always attach a title page to your assignment. Use
previous page as your cover sheet and make sure all the details are accurately filled.
2. Attach this brief as the first section of your assignment.
3. All the assignments should be prepared using a word processing software.
4. All the assignments should be printed on A4 sized papers. Use single side printing.
5. Allow 1” for top, bottom , right margins and 1.25” for the left margin of each page.

Word Processing Rules

1. The font size should be 12 point, and should be in the style of Time New Roman.
2. Use 1.5 line spacing. Left justify all paragraphs.
3. Ensure that all the headings are consistent in terms of the font size and font style.
4. Use footer function in the word processor to insert Your Name, Subject, Assignment No,
and Page Number on each page. This is useful if individual sheets become detached for any
reason.
5. Use word processing application spell check and grammar check function to help editing
your assignment.

Important Points:

1. It is strictly prohibited to use textboxes to add texts in the assignments, except for the
compulsory information. eg: Figures, tables of comparison etc. Adding text boxes in the body
except for the before mentioned compulsory information will result in rejection of your
work.
2. Carefully check the hand in date and the instructions given in the assignment. Late
submissions will not be accepted.
3. Ensure that you give yourself enough time to complete the assignment by the due date.
4. Excuses of any nature will not be accepted for failure to hand in the work on time.
5. You must take responsibility for managing your own time effectively.
6. If you are unable to hand in your assignment on time and have valid reasons such as illness,
you may apply (in writing) for an extension.
7. Failure to achieve at least PASS criteria will result in a REFERRAL grade .
8. Non-submission of work without valid reasons will lead to an automatic RE FERRAL. You will
then be asked to complete an alternative assignment.
9. If you use other people’s work or ideas in your assignment, reference them properly using
HARVARD referencing system to avoid plagiarism. You have to provide both in-text citation
and a reference list.
10. If you are proven to be guilty of plagiarism or any academic misconduct, your grade could be
reduced to A REFERRAL or at worst you could be expelled from the course

Activity 1 1.1
task 1
 What is system requirements?
The system requirements are the hardware or software which are needs to run the
system applications smoothly and efficiently. There are two types of system requirements
1. User requirements

2.System requirements
 Hardware requirements
 Software requirements

User requirements above scenario

Record the data requirements
To secure there data

System requirements above scenario

To build a data base they need computers.
To create database they need employee
To create database needs SQL server up to version 2016 and also need hard disk space
least 6000 MB and ram up to minimum 4 GB

Task 2

Identifying entity and attribute

What is ER diagram - ER diagram(entity relationship) is modelling tool used to depict

graphically a database. The ER diagram is a type of floor chart . here some types of an
entity, an attribute and its examples

An entity

An entity is an object in the system that we want to store informations.

Person = employee, student
Place =store , warehouse
Object= machine, building
Event= sale, registration
Concept=course, work
Example = in the grocery shop database vegetables and fruits might be entity in database
An attribute

An attributes are items of information that store in entity

Simple attribute=
Composite attribute=name(firstn ,lastn, middlen),address(flatn, housen, cityn)
Single valued attribute=id, age
Multi valued attribute= phone number, email
Derived attribute=date of birth
Example = grocery shop database in the fruits entity it has an attribute the fruits expire
data,price like that

Above the scenario

Customer =entity = customer id - Attribute
Cus name - Attribute
Cus address - Attribute

Staff =entity = staff id - Attribute

Staff name - Attribute
staff type - Attribute

installation =entity = id - Attribute

name - Attribute
type - Attribute
Equipment = entity =name - Attribute
type - Attribute

Above scenario
 Customer=cus_id (pk), cus_name, cus_address,
 Employee=emp_id(pk), emp_name, emp_contno, emp_address
 Equipment=item_id(pk), item_type ,item_name
 Installations=ins_id(pk), ins_date, ins_name
 Computers=co_id(pk), co_row, co_column
 Facility=f_id(pk), f_type ,f_address

What is ER Diagram ?(Entity relationship diagram)

ER diagram is a brief of basic data structures. It was developed to show the entities and the
relationships presents in the database .
ER Diagram above scenario

Logical database design /logical schema

 task 4

what is Normalization ?

normalization is the process of organizing data in database. This is the method that
creating table and establishing relationship to protect data and make database more
flexible by eliminating redundancy and inconsistent dependency.

There are 4 steps in normalization

 First normal form

Is putting all repeated fields in separate files and assigning appropriate keys to
them,identifying the primary key

 Second normal form

Use separate table for multi valued attributes, processing and organizing data in database

 Third normal form

Eliminating redundant data elements in database

Activity 2

2.1

What is
Sql is a structured query language.its a computer language to store , manipulate ,retrieve
data .ins sql we use tables that include rows and column. In sql there is many sub language
 DDL = Data define language
 DML=data manipulation language
 DCL=data control language

Activity 2.2

1. What is DDL
DDl can change commands automatically DDl can do
1.Create=database and table
2.Alter= database and table
3.Drop=database and table

1. What we can use Create statement

2.syntax = create table table_name(column_name and datatype)

example
Create table equipment_table(item_id varchar(50) ,fac_id varchar(50),item_no varchar(50),
item_name varchar(50);

3.what we can use drop statement

Example = drop table table_name
Drop table employee;

4. 3.what we can use alter statement

Example = Alter table table_name add column_name
Alter table emp_table add(address varchar(50));

Activity 2.3

2. What is DML
DML use to modify database here some DDL commands that we use
1. Insert
2. Update
3. Delete
4. Select

1. Insert command
syntax =insert into table_name
Values(value1,value2,value3,)

insert into employee_table(emp_id,emp_name,emp_cont,type,emp_address)

values ('Sha11','john carter',0774585,'plumber''colombo');
 2.Update command
Syntax=update table_name set (column_name1= values)

Update employee
Set name=’adam will’
Where =’john carter’;

3.Delete command
Syntax =delete from employee_table where( emp_id0

Delete form employee

Where emp_id=’Sha11;
 4.Select command
Syntax = select= from table_name;

Select = from employee

It shows the all available data in a table form

Activity 2.4
Database security

In the world we have to securing our data is very important in now a days .in that case we
have secure our database is also a important.

There are many way to secure our database by using these methods
Access control
Access control can protect from on unauthorized access.

Encryption of data
By Encryption we can protect out sensitive data from communicating in any public
network.only sender and receiver can read the data by decryption.

Activity 2.5
Sql commands
There are few sql commands available in database.they are
Select
Update
Between
In
Group by
Order by
Having

1. Select statements
2. Update statement

3. Between statement

4. In statement
5. Group by statement

6. Order by statements
7. Having statement

Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Assignment brief

Polly Pipe is a water sports provider and installer based in Braintree, England. They need
you to design and implement a database that meets the data requirements. These
necessities are defined in this scenario and below are samples of the paper records that the
Polly Pipe preserves.

Polly Pipe is focused in placing aquariums at business customers. Customers can request
several installations, but each installation is tailor-made for a specific customer. Facilities are
classified by type. One or more employees are assigned to each facility. Because these
facilities are often very large, they can include carpenters and masons as well as water
installers. The facilities use equipment such as aquariums, air pumps and thermostats.
There can be multiple computers in a facility.

Below are examples of paper records that Polly Pipe currently maintains.
