Design

This is my database plan. Just a small table to represent the fields I want on my actual database.


Forms:
In order to transfer data into the database, we first need to get the information from the books before we stack them into the library. There will be a form provided that needs to be filled in so that we can transfer the information into the database. This form will include:

  • Name of book
  • Name of author of the book
  • Country originated in
  • Genre
Validation rules:
When I create this database on MS Access, I will need to use specific validation rules to make sure that the fields hold the correct information. An example of a validation rule I might use can be:

  • >=10000 and <=99999
This rule makes sure that there's numbers between 10000 and 99999, including those two numbers. I would probably use this rule for the "Book code" to make sure that the numbers are correct.

Plan

I have created this Gantt chart that will help me keep track of this assessment. It acts like a diary for me because it helps me see my deadlines and how much time I have left for each task.
