Course Objective This course deals with planning, developing and managing database environments. It will introduce students to the ways in which database management systems (DBMS) can support business process and management information requirements. MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Topics covered • Systems Analysis and Design methodologies • Requirements analysis • Process modelling (DFD’s) • Data modelling (ERD’s and normalisation) • SQL and database systems (Data Warehousing) • Single instance database systems • Database development (Access and Oracle) MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Assessment dates • A practical exam (20%) which will be the development of a database system: • Eg. system to support playlist generation • Scenario to be distributed by mid November • Deadline December • An Oracle and SQL assessment (20%) will take place during lab practical hours in the 2nd term. MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development

This week • Why do we need databases? • Systems Analysis and Design methodologies MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Why do we need databases? • Reduces possibility of error • Volume of information • Speed of transaction processing MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Understanding requirements • Why do we need information systems? • Reduces possibility of error (eg. same seat not allocated to 2 passengers) • Volume of information (eg. all possible flights and connections) • Speed of transaction (eg. immediate confirmation at point of sale) MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Definitons : Analysis & Design • Analysis : what users need the system to do • Design : how the system will meet the need MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Analysis = listening MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Business requirements MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Background to SA & SD • Output Oriented • Process oriented : DFD’s • Data-Oriented (ERD’s) MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
What’s the best approach? • Failings of these methods • Maintenance • Lack of flexibility • Resilience • Quality • Re-usability of code • Backlog (visible and invisible) MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Your own examples MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
What is Systems development Systems development refers to all activities that go into producing an IS solution : • Systems Analysis • Modeling • Design • Implementation • Testing • Maintenance MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
What is so difficult about Analysis and Design? • It involves listening, understanding, documenting and clarifying • It takes time, patience and humility • It works best within a framework (methodology) • Design always influenced by experience MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Bad systems design • SNCF : ticketing system • Bank of Ireland on-line (what direct debits are on my account?) • ERP systems: getting reports out • Your own examples? MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Understanding requirements ... • Analysing problems • Functional decomposition • Process specification • Flow Charts • Use case • Activity diagrams • Designing solutions • Data flow diagrams • Entity relationship model MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
Building a model • Functional decomposition • Data Flow Diagram • Context diagram • Processes • Data Flow • Data store • External entities MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Database development
