Database ProjectSarah Summers Goal: Create a web based software, music and book store. Software: Server Application: • MySQL Apache Server • PHP
Administrator Adds entries to db Deletes db entries Modifies db entries User Searches book entries Searches music entries Searches software entries Add items to shopping cart Application Capabilities
Problems Encountered Original design did not include a product id number. Book, music and software entries all had their own identification numbers. This caused problems for the order entity, although each entry could be inserted using the individual identification numbers, this would lead to null values.
Problems Encountered Wanted a user to register before being able to search. To register only need email, username and password. Problems arise when user purchases items and pays. Where is the customer address and payment method kept. Decided to keep additional customer details in the Payment relation.
Conclusions • Database implementation can be complex. • Detailed design helps. • Implementation can still be problematic.
