This will be the first of 8 individual assignments that you’ll be doing throughout the semester to create your own database. These
assignments will be handed in and graded, as will the final version of the database.
This assignment is extremely important, because you need to make sure your database is designed correctly before you start actually
creating it and populating it with data. So please spend an adequate amount of time on this.
NOTE: This is the first Final Database assignment, but it’s the second assignment of this semester. Therefore, the name that you will
need to attach to the file will reflect the number of the week. See below for the precise naming method I would like you to use.
Here’s the assignment:
Read through the contents of the Word document named Final DB Project Description. (It’s located in the Class Data Files sub-
folder, and it is also provided as the last lesson this week.) This file will provide you with all the information you need to start
laying out your final database.
Based on the objectives described in the Final DB Project Description, plan out your database.
Decide how many tables you will need, and which fields will be in each one of the tables. Make absolutely sure your tables are
fully normalized, so that there is no redundancy.
Specify the data type for all fields. Use the Leszynski Naming Convention for all table and field names.
Determine which relationships will need to be created, as well as the type of relationship. Clearly indicate the type (i.e., One-
to-One, One-to-Many) for all proposed relationships. You should avoid Many-to-Many relationships for this database. That type of
relationship falls outside the parameters of this class and isn’t necessary in this file.
Decide which fields will be the primary key fields and which ones will be the foreign key fields of the different proposed tables.
Indicate which fields will be connected to which fields in the relationships. Make sure it is clear to me when I look at your
tables which fields will be connected to which other fields, as well as what you are proposing as the type of join.
The best way to do this would be by drawing lines to connect the fields. If you do this in Excel or Word, you can use the Line tool
(available on the Drawing toolbar) or one of the AutoShapes (also on the Drawing toolbar), or you can simply write out a description of
the different relationships. Regardless of your method, make sure I understand your objectives with regard to the different
relationships that you’re proposing.
