Fina Assessment Project The objective of this project is for students to apply the database design principles to a real-life scenario. This is a practical design project – students must create and submit the database, as well as documentation for the items below. The students will review database requirements and produce the following: Part One: Database in Access and Rationale Document (0-60 points) Database Design and Rationale (0-30 points) Access database with normalized tables: A set of tables in at least third-normal form is required for completion of this project. Complete table structures are required; students must also determine if primary or any other keys are required for each table. The student must also describe, in detail, and in a separate document, the rationale he/she used in developing the specified set of tables, as well as the specific fields in the tables. · Rationale used in developing the specified set of tables, as well as the specific fields in the tables, is provided (Separate file for upload to Blackboard). · Fieldnames are all single-valued; each column has a distinct name; all the values in a column are values of the attribute that is identified by the column name; the order of columns and rows is immaterial; each row is distinct. · Database and tables are created in Access. · Correct table relationships are established in Access. · Referential integrity, cascade update and cascade delete are used appropriately Keys (0-10 points) · All appropriate keys have been identified and their functions described in the rationale document · Primary key is a minimal collection of columns on which all columns are functionally dependent. Report Rationale (0-10 points) Three potential reports described in the rationale document that could be generated in response to user requests; supporting queries and reports must be included (ex.: report of number viewers that viewed each movie each year; correct sorting and grouping) in the Access database.

could be generated in response to user requests; supporting
queries and reports must be included (ex.: report of number
viewers that viewed each movie each year; correct sorting and
grouping) in the Access database. Rationale required in the
rationale document for why each report could provide important
information for decision-making; queries must specify criteria

requirements for the specific report (included in Rationale file
described in Database/Tables above.)
· Three reports that could be used in response to user requests
are identified.
· Rationale for why each report could provide important
information for decisionmaking is provided.
· Reports must be created in Access and use the correct queries
as the source.
Supporting Queries (0-10 points)
· Three queries are provided, and specify criteria for record
selection, as well as grouping, sorting and any other

E-R diagram: An E-R diagram for the database is required for
this project. This may be completed in Word, Excel, or
whatever program the student is most comfortable using.
(Separate file for upload to Blackboard)

Chapter 1 in the textbook.

3. Part Three: DBDL Diagram (0-10 points)

Excel, or whatever program the student is most comfortable
using. (Separate file for upload to Blackboard)
· Diagram is complete with all tables, attributes, and keys
(primary, alternate, secondary and/or foreign).
· ER Diagram is formatted according to instructions provided in
Chapter 6 in the textbook.
Part Four: Users and Roles/Data Permissions (0-10 points)
Users must be recommended to provide levels of access to the
database, in order to perform functions such as database
administration, data entry, and management decision-making.
Suggested users, roles and permissions as related to access and
security must be required: please specify what data and types of
reports each user would most likely need access to, and
privileges in the database that would most likely be assigned.
Support your answer with information from the textbook or
other valid sources (Separate file for upload to Blackboard).
· User permissions clearly specify the kind of access each user
role has to the objects (tables, reports, etc.) in the database.
· Examples of specific commands that would be used to grant
privileges are provided.
· Supporting information from the text is provided.
Part Five: Backup/Archive (0-10 points) Backup (0-5 points)
Suggested backup/archive procedures: Please suggest
procedures that would be used for backup and archive of the
database. Provide a detailed rationale for each, using support
from the textbook or other valid sources. The emphasis is
should be on process and procedures, as well as rationale for
why and how each should be done; however, you may include
specific technologies that you would recommend (Separate files
for backing up and archiving for upload to Blackboard).
