This report presents a comprehensive solution for Southern Cross University's CSC72001 Assessment 2, focusing on the design and implementation of a student enrolment database. The assignment involved creating and testing a database in MySQL using PhpMyAdmin, based on a provided scenario and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). The report includes an analysis of client business rules, assumptions made, naming conventions, and data types chosen. Furthermore, it showcases the testing of various SQL queries, such as workshop enrolment lists, workshop count lists, student transcripts, and student assessment totals, along with their respective results. The report demonstrates a practical application of database concepts and SQL proficiency, addressing the university's requirements for storing and managing student enrolment data.

Part A: Analysis
1. Client Business Rules
 The details of the units and the enrolments are to be stored in the system.
 The details of the students and the teachers are required to be stored in the system.
 The students would be taking part in the assessments conducted by the university and
the details of the assessments are required to be stored in the system.
2. Assumptions Made
Among the assumptions which are made for the implementation of the database, the most
important mention is that of students’ enrolments. It is to be noted that all the students are
not necessary enrolled in a course and all the teachers does not necessarily teach a course.
3. Naming Conventions
- The camel case naming conventions has been used in the assignment. In addition to
this, the naming convention has been used for the phrases used in the database.
- The underscore naming convention has been used for the differentiating the names
when there are more than one phrases.
4. Data Types Chosen
The data type used for the database are integers, varchar, and date types.

Part B: Testing Queries
B.6.1 Workshop Enrolment List
Query:
SELECT workshop_enrolment.StudentID, unitoffering.UnitCode, unitoffering.Year, unitoffering.Session,
workshop.Campus, workshop.Location, workshop.Weekday, workshop.ClassTimes, student.StudentID,
student.FirstName, student.LastName, teacher.FirstName, teacher.LastName From
workshop_enrolment INNER JOIN workshop ON workshop_enrolment.WorkshopID =
workshop.WorkshopID INNER JOIN student ON student.StudentID = workshop_enrolment.StudentID
INNER JOIN unitoffering ON unitoffering.UnitOfferingID = workshop.UnitOfferingID INNER JOIN teacher
ON teacher.StaffID = unitoffering.UnitAssesorID WHERE unitoffering.Year = 2019 AND
unitoffering.Session = 'Session 3' ORDER BY workshop.Weekday, workshop.ClassTimes,
student.LastName, student.FirstName
Result:
B.6.2 Workshop Count List
Query:
SELECT student.LastName, student.FirstName, COUNT(workshop_enrolment.WorkshopID)
FROM workshop_enrolment
INNER JOIN student ON student.StudentID = workshop_enrolment.StudentID
INNER JOIN workshop ON workshop.WorkshopID = workshop_enrolment.WorkshopID
INNER JOIN unitoffering ON workshop.UnitOfferingID = unitoffering.UnitOfferingID
Where unitoffering.Year = 2019
GROUP BY student.LastName, student.FirstName;
Result:

B.6.3 Student Transcripts
Query:
SELECT student.StudentID, student.FirstName, student.LastName, unitoffering.Year,
unitoffering.Session, unit.UnitName FROM student INNER JOIN unit_enrollment ON
unit_enrollment.StudentID = student.StudentID INNER JOIN unitoffering ON
unitoffering.UnitOfferingID = unit_enrollment.UnitOfferingID INNER JOIN unit ON
UnitOffering.UnitCode = unit.UnitCode
Result:
B.6.4 Student Assessment Totals
Query:
SELECT student.FirstName, student.LastName, SUM(student_assessment.MarksAwarded)
FROM student INNER JOIN student_assessment ON student.StudentID =
student_assessment.StudentID GROUP BY student.FirstName, student.LastName
