Course Project Part 1—Database Planning

For this week, imagine that you have been hired by a company to build a database for it and complete the following tasks:

• Describe your idea of the database.
  • This can be a business problem or a hobby you are interested in—for example, an airline reservation system.
• Outline the database you would like to create.
• Outline the SDLC. Include the following subcategories:
  • Strategy and analysis for a business or an idea you plan to develop
  • Analysis of the current system:
    • What does the company have?
    • What business projections does it have?
  • Integration with other systems—plan how the current system can be integrated with other systems
  • Documentation and communication—describe how this vital part will be accomplished
  • Design for changes—prepare a plan for the future
  • Reusable resources—do not redo work; identify what the company has in place that you can use

(This is the best part of the project—you create everything!)

Note: Whatever you create is fiction and the above-mentioned six items will need to be addressed in the final document.
