IMAT5103 - Railway Management System: Database Systems and Design

This project report demonstrates the design and implementation of a database system for a railway management system. It covers the conceptual database design, including business rules for storing train, employee, station, and booking details. The logical database design outlines the tables (Customer, Station, Train, Booking) with primary and foreign keys. The report includes Oracle DBMS SQL implementation for creating tables, indexes, and populating data. Several SQL queries are provided to retrieve information such as counting bookings for a specific train or customer, selecting booking and customer details, summing the number of seats, and counting bookings at specific times. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments for students.

DATABASE SYSTEM AND DESIGN
Stage 1: Scenario and Conceptual Database Design Task
1.1: Selection of the case upon which the database design and implementation is to be
based
The demonstration of a railway management system is provided in this report. Storing
the data of a railway system is very important and one such arbitrary railway system has been
considered for this report. The train details are to be stored in the system along with the
stations details. This would help the customers in having the details of the trains and the
station so that they would be able to select their desired location. In addition to this the details
of the customers are also to be stored in the system. The bookings would done for the system
are also to be recorded in the system so that the details of the railway system are maintained
in the database.

DATABASE SYSTEM AND DESIGN
Task 1.2: Provide a conceptual database design for your scenario & the list of enterprise
rules being modelled
Business Rules
The set of rules defined below are required for the development of the database of the
railway management system:
 The details of the train are to be stored in the system including the Train Number.

3
DATABASE SYSTEM AND DESIGN
 The details of the Employees are to be stored in the database.
 The details of the station are stored in the system identified by their unique id.
 The booking details are to store in the database.
Stage 2: Logical Database Design and Oracle SQL Implementation/querying
Task 2.1: Provide a Logical Database Design for your scenario
Customer (CustomerID (pk), CustomerName)
Station (StationID (pk), StationName)
Train (TrainID (pk), TrainName)
Booking (BookingID (pk), TrainID (fk), SStation (fk), EStation (fk), CustomerID (fk),
NumberOfSeats, Time)
Task 2.2 Create the tables using Oracle DBMS
