Gestiunea studentilor intr-o universitate

Scenariu

In cadrul unei universitati a fost nevoie de crearea unei baze de date pentru a centraliza datele legate de studenti. Baza de date ne ofera posibilitatea de adauga, modifica sau sterge datele legate de studenti respectand anumite norme de integritate. Fiecare student va avea inregistrate date precum nume,prenume,cnp,data nasterii,gupa din care face parte,anul s.a. . Baza de date ne va oferi posibilitatea de a stoca notele fiecarui student si facultatea din care face parte.
Baza de date contine urmatoarele tabele : student, facultate, note si materii.
Tabela student contine urmatoarele informatii: id-ul studentului, id-ul facultatii din care face parte,numele, prenumele,cnp-ul, data nasterii, anul si grupa din care face parte.
Tabela facultate contine : id-ul facultatii, numele facultatii,adresa si numele decanului.
Tabela note contine urmatoarele informatii: id-ul notei, id-ul materiei,id-ul studentului, nota si data in care a fost primita.
Tabela materii cotine urmatoarele informatii: id-ul materiei, denumire, an, profersor.

Diagrama ERD

Crearea tabelelor:

Creare tabela studenti: create table studenti( id_stud number(4) not null primary key, - numar din maxim 3 cifre, nenul, cheie primara id_fac number(2) not null, -numar din maxim 2 cifre, nenul nume varchar(20) not null, -maxim 20 de caractere,nenul prenume varchar(20) not null, - maxim 20 de caractere,nenul cnp number(13) not null, -numar din maxim 13 cifre, nenul data_nasterii date not null, -data,nenula an number(1) not null, -numar din maxim o cifra, nenul grupa varchar(6) not null, -maxim 6 caractere constraint vfan check(an>0)
);
Creare tabela facultate: create table facultate( id_fac number(2) not null primary key, - numar din maxim 2 cifre, nenul, cheie primara nume_fac varchar(60) not null, -maxim 60 de caractere, nenul adresa_fac varchar(60) not null, -maxim 60 de caractere, nenul nume_decan varchar(25) not null -maxim 25 de caractere, nenul
);

Creare tabela note: create table note( id_nota number(5) not null primary key, - numar din maxim 5 cifre, nenul, cheie primara id_materie number(2) not null, - numar din maxim 2 cifre, nenul, id_stud number(4) not null, -numar din maxim 4 cifre, nenul nota number(2) not null - numar din maxim 2 cifre, nenul
);

Creare tabela materii:

create table materii( id_materie number(2) not null primary key, - numar din maxim 2 cifre, nenul, cheie primara denumire varchar(20) not null, -maxim 20 de caractere, nenul an number(1) not null, -numar din maxim 1 cifrea, nenul profesor varchar(40) not null - maxim 40 de caractere, nenul
);

Crearea legaturilor intre tabele

facultate - studenti : alter table studenti add constraint fk_1 foreign key (id_fac) references facultate(id_fac) on delete cascade; id_fac e cheie primara in tabela facultate cheie straina in tabela studenti => legatura de tipul 1-N (intr-o facultate poti fi unul sau mai multi student)

studenti - note : alter table note add constraint fk_2 foreign key (id_stud) references studenti(id_stud) on delete cascade; id_stud e cheie primara in tabela studenti cheie straina in tabela note => legatura de tipul 1-N (fiecare student poate sa aiba una sau mai multe note)

materii - note : alter table note add constraint fk_3 foreign key (id_materie) references materii(id_materie) on delete cascade; id_materie e cheie primara in tabela materii cheie straina in tabela note => legatura de tipul 1-N (la fiecare materie pot fi una sau mai multe note)

facultate - materii : alter table materii add constraint fk_4 foreign key (id_fac) references facultate(id_fac) on delete cascade; id_fac e cheie primara in tabela facultate cheie straina in tabela materii => legatura de tipul 1-N (fiecare facultate poate avea una sau mai multe materii)

Adaugarea constrangerilor la anumite campuri

Notele sa fie cuprinse intre 1 si 10 : alter table note add constraint cons_nota check(nota between 1 and 10);
CNP-ul din tabela studenti sa fie pozitiv: alter table studenti add constraint cons_cnp check(cnp>0);
Anul din tabela student sa fie cuprins intre 1 si 4: alter table studenti add constraint cons_a check(an between 1 and 4);

...The Entity-Relationship Unified View of Data PETER PIN-SHAN Massachusetts Model-Toward a CHEN Institute of Technology A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed. This model incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world. A special diagrammatic technique is introduced as a tool for database design. An example of database design and description using the model and the diagrammatic technique is given. Some implications for data integrity, information retrieval, and data manipulation are discussed. The entity-relationship model can be used as a basis for unification of different views of data: t,he network model, the relational model, and the entity set model. Semantic ambiguities in these models are analyzed. Possible ways to derive their views of data from the entity-relationship model are presented. Key Words and Phrases: database design, logical view of data, semantics of data, data models, entity-relationship model, relational model, Data Base Task Group, network model, entity set model, data definition and manipulation, data integrity and consistency CR Categories: 3.50, 3.70, 4.33, 4.34 1.

...UOPX IT380 Database Concepts Database Design Paper 5/7/12 A database is a set of programs and applications used to store data, this allows the data to be used by different individuals in different areas and access information from it quickly. A database stores the information so that it can be used at a later time and so that additional information can be added, taken away, or used as needed.. Once in the database the data is compressed so that it takes up less space in the computer’s memory. The database allows those authorized to use the data within it and control the creation, maintenance, and use of a database. A database stores various kinds of files, data records, and other objects. There are a variety of database models; there is the relational model or object model, which supports applications. That use query languages, which are high level programming languages, and dedicated database languages that simplify writing database application programs. The main function of a database is basically retrieving and presenting information it controls, in doing this it allows the users data access, protects the data’s and makes it more manageable. It also provides safety features for the data so that it is not lost or misplaced and if there is a serious event or natural disaster, fire etc. it can be recovered and restored from a backup. In my work we use Microsoft Access as a relational database for employment record s and to store our client information such as names...

...Database Design DBM 380 | | Databases Databases are electronic filing systems that consist of objects (Microsoft, para 2.) providing a quicker means to data retrieval than traditional paper and pen models. They have more flexibility than standard spreadsheets and offer the ability to run query searches. A properly designed database can retrieve items in complex searches; a task that might take hours or days manually, in a matter of minutes. Databases are designed to store large amounts of information without redundancy or inconsistencies (Microsoft, para 1.) Database information can be used to generate reports for specific topics, create mailing lists, manage data, share data with other programs, and perform calculations of data. Databases also can provide an area of storage for document retrieval, such as a school digital library. At work we use a complex data system known as an AS/400 system that can store and retrieve data. Database Architecture According to Georgetown University (n.d.,) database architecture is “the collective application and database instances that comprise the complete system.” This means that defined rules and specifications determine how data is stored and accessed. Web-based database architecture can use two-tier architecture or three-tier architecture depending on if the DBMS and Web server are both on the same computer (Kroenke, p. 452.) As a three-tier database architecture system the AS/400 is used to keep track of inventory...

...DATABASE DESIGN One of the most important if not the most important aspect of a database is the database design process. It is a must that the design is good and functional. A database consists of many different parts of an engineer’s design, which together makes up a complete database system. A database system is designed to manage large bodies of information. Database design is the construction of a database as a subsystem of an information system. Therefore, the database design process is an integral component of the information system design process. ( Chilson and Kudlac, 1983). One of the greatest problems in the application design process is the lack of foresight. During the design process there must be a thorough evaluation of your database, what it should hold, how data relates to each other, and most importantly, whether it is scalable. When it comes to the maintenance of your database it should be easy to maintain, this means storing as limited amount of repetitive data as possible. Let’s say you have a lot of duplicate data, and one instant of that data undergoes a name change, that change has to be made for all occurrences of that data. You can overcome this duplication problem by creating a table of possible values and use a key to refer to the value. That way, if the value changes names, the change occurs only once, in the master table. What are the steps involved in the database design. First, you must determine the purpose of your database, this helps...

...CIS 510 DATABASE DESIGN (WEEK 2) Submitted by: ShaileshwarParimala Arshad Ahmed Mohammed Mohammed WajahathHussain SajjadHussain Syed Uma Devi Singam Types of Database Management Systems A database management system (DBMS) is system software for creating and managing databases. The DBMS provides users and programmers with a systematic way to create, retrieve, update and manage data. [pic] Advantages of DBMS: • Data abstraction and independence • Data security • A locking mechanism for concurrent access • An efficient handler to balance the needs of multiple applications using the same data • The ability to swiftly recover from crashes and errors, including restartability and recoverability • Robust data integrity capabilities • Logging and auditing of activity • Simple access using a standard application programming interface (API) • Uniform administration procedures for data Another advantage of a DBMS is that it can be used to impose a logical, structured organization on the data. A DBMS delivers economy of scale for processing large amounts of data because it is optimized for such operations. A DBMS can also provide many views of a single database schema. A view defines what data the user sees and how that user sees the data. The DBMS provides a level of abstraction between the conceptual schema that defines the logical structure of the database and the physical schema that describes the...

A database must not only store large amounts of records, they also must be easy to accessed. New changes and information should be easy to input as well. Stored data that can be easily defined, like availability of equipment, cars, etc. Data that is organized to model relevant aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring this information Data modeling is a process used to define and analyze data requirements needed to support business processes within the scope of corresponding information in organization. It can also be thought of as a diagram or flowchart that illustrates the relationship between data. Data modeling tools and technique capture and translate complex system designs into easily understood representations of data flows and processes. Relational Model must try and develop a consistent, logical representation of information. It also provides a declarative method for queries and specifying data. Information is stated by the user and what information the database contains, gathering what they want from it. The database management system software takes care of describing data structures for storing the data and retrieval procedures for answering queries.

...Database Design and how it is used at Wal-Mart Benjamin Stites DBM/380 7/2/2012 University of Phoenix. What is a Database System? A database system consists of four components which are the users, the database application, the database management system, and the database itself. We will describe all four components briefly. Database: The database allows a business to store important data using a collection of related tables and other structures. Database Management System: A database management system is a computer program that is used to create, process, and administer the database. (Kroenke & Auer, 2010) Database Application: A database application is a set of one or more computer programs that serves as an intermediary between the user and the database. They read and or modify database data by sending SQL statements to the database. User: The user is the fourth component of the database system. The user employs database applications to keep track of things. They use forms to read, enter, and query data, and they also produce reports. These four components allow the database system to work properly. How does Wal-Mart use its Database System? Wal-Mart is the largest retail company in the world. It needs to keep track of employee data, sales data, inventory data, profit data, and many other types of data throughout each of its stores. In order to keep up with this information Wal-Mart has outsourced its database to NCR. This allows Wal-Mart...

...Database Design Paper John Hancock DBM/380 April 23, 2013 April Johnson Database Design Paper Database systems are an organized collection of data. The data is normally organized by a couple different methods; structured and unstructured. Database systems make working in a company a lot easier when an employee is looking for information. By having a database management system in the work place the employees will have improved data sharing, data security, data access and better data integration. A couple examples of databases would be Oracle, Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server. Oracle’s primary function is to store and retrieve data as it is requested. Database architecture not only focuses on the design, development, implementation and maintenance of computer programs that store and organize database information for any business or company big or small. Also a database architect my use a vast array of different languages to create a database, one language is called the structured query language or SQL. When I was in the Navy at first I didn’t realize how structured all of the information was and how much information was actually kept on file. Every duty station has a database system that is used which is Oracle. This database in particular is a very great database for the Navy to use because as information is needed a service member can access the information on the Oracle database cloud at any given time. Also the service member will know that the information...

Database Design Paper

...A database management system, or DBMS, is the category of computer software programs that are used in the creation, organization, retrieval, analysis, and sorting of information in computer-based databases. A database management system is comprised of: * A modeling language, which is used to define the database structure. Commonly, database structures are hierarchical, network, relational, and object based. How they go about connecting related information is where models differentiate. The relational database model is the most widely used. * A database engine, which manages the structure of the database and optimizes data storage for a balance of quick retrieval of information and an efficient usage of space. * A database query language, that allows developers to write programs that extract data from the database, present it, and allow for the saving and storage of changes. * A transaction mechanism, which validates data before storing it while also ensuring numerous users are not allowed to corrupt the data by updating the same data at the same time “Database architecture focuses on the design, development, implementation and maintenance of computer programs that store and organize information for business, agencies and institutions”. One such example is Microsoft SQL Server. There are four system databases in each instance of Microsoft SQL Server (master, model, tempdb, and msdb) and at least one user database. Some companies have a database used by...

Most companies today have some form of database system. Database architecture is the set of specifications, rules, and processes that dictate how data is stored in a database and how data is accessed by components of a system. It includes data types, relationships, and naming conventions. The database architecture describes the organization of all database objects and how they work together. It affects integrity, reliability, scalability, and performance. The database architecture involves anything that defines the nature of the data, the structure of the data, or how the data flows (Database Architecture Fourth Edition).
