Integrated situation
D-STORE Ltd is a company that generates revenue from selling furniture products, It’s located in
Nyabihu district, western province.
D-STORE Ltd uses file system (books) to record information about the sales and inventory.
Company has a problem of non-efficient security, accessibility and management of information about
the stock-in, stock-out and customers. D-STORE Ltd company wants to switch to a digital system that
can be accessed easily by authorized employees.
They hired a database developer who develops for them the database that can be used to manage
sales, inventory, customer data, and to generate an invoice for all any placed order.
Tasks to be performed:
1. Analyze the database requirements and identify the different data sources that need to be
integrated.
2. Based on the requirements, design a database that includes conceptual database schema and
logic database schema. also prepare a MySQL DBMS environment
3. In this stage, create the physical database schema by applying SQL commands in DBMS and
Developer must developer a query to insert customer order with the following information:
Customer information and product information. And make another query to retrieve data to
be on invoicing such us: Customer information and product information, after that a
developer also must generate a product status report.
4. Perform database access control: apply database user authentication, database authorization
user and audit logs
5. Configuration of database backup
