Database Implementation Project - Bookstore System Design

This project focuses on designing and implementing a database system for a small bookstore aiming to modernize its operations. The assignment encompasses various aspects of database design, starting with an analysis of the bookstore's requirements, including customer data, book information, transactions, and publisher details. The project requires the creation of an Enhanced Entity-Relationship (E-R) diagram, followed by its transformation into a relational database schema, including the identification of primary and foreign keys and the specification of integrity constraints. Furthermore, the assignment involves crafting SQL queries to retrieve specific information, such as customer lists, book inventories, and sales data, along with the design of user forms for data entry, updates, and browsing. Finally, the project culminates in the development of reports to present key business metrics, like top customers, bestsellers, and financial statements, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of database principles and their practical application in a real-world business scenario. The project also explores top-down and bottom-up approaches in database design.
