Unit 4 Database Design & Development-2022
Each student has to submit their assignment as guided in the assignment brief. The students
are guided what sort of information is to produce to meet the criteria targeted. You are
required to make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work
must be supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system.

Learning outcomes covered
LO1. Use an appropriate design tool to design a relational database system for a
substantial problem.
LO2. Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system
design.
LO3. Test the system against user and system requirements.
LO4. Produce technical and user documentation.
Scenario
Once students are registered, the respective student counselors’ ‘employee no’ should be
recorded for further reference. Usually, programs are conducted in both full time and part time
and should be finished within a given time period and payment amount. Each Program have
modules and modules would include Module Number, Name, Credit Value, No of Sessions and
Module leader Employee Number. Module leader is a lecturer.
The employee data should be recorded appropriately within a centralized database. And Each
employee is assigned to different departments such as Academics, Marketing, Accounts, etc.

You need to demonstrate the following skills and understanding.
• Use an appropriate design tool to design a relational database system for a substantial
• Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system
• Test the system against user and system requirements.
• Produce technical and user documentation
Assignment Task
Based on the context above, complete the followings.
Part 1
Produce a Report
The design of the relational database system using appropriate design tools and
techniques. It should contain at least four interrelated tables.
Clear statements of user and system requirements.
Produce a more detailed document, so you will produce a comprehensive design for a
fully functional system which will include interface and output designs, data validations
and cover data normalization and assess the effectiveness of design in relation to user and
system requirements.
Part 2
Once the designs are accepted, you have to develop the database system using evidence of user
interface, output and data validations and querying across multiple tables.
You want to include more than just the basics so you will implement a fully functional
database system which will include system security and database maintenance features.
You have decided to implement a query language into the relational database system.
1. Assessing whether meaningful data has been extracted through the use of query
tools to produce appropriate management information.
2. Evaluating the effectiveness of the database solution in relation to user and
system requirements and suggest improvements.
3. Once the system has been developed, you will test the system
4. You will produce a brief report assessing the effectiveness of the testing,
including an explanation of the choice of test data used.
Part 3
Lastly you will produce technical and user documentation.
You want to provide some graphical representations for ease of reference in the technical guide,
so you have decided to produce a technical and user documentation for a fully functional system,
including diagrams showing movement of data through the system, and flowcharts describing
how the system works.
