of Computer Science ITCS 385 Database Systems 2nd Semester 2012/2013 Homework # 1

If you were designing a web-based system for university online registration, write a report to show the following: The database schema and sample database state. All the relationships among the records of the database. Four possible integrity constraints that should hold on the database. Three different users of your database, to which user category would each belong, and an example of a view for each user. Which DBMS architecture would you choose (Centralized, Two-Tier client-server, or Three-Tier client-sever)? Why? Why would the other architectures not be a good choice?

Important Notes This homework is a group work. Maximum two students in each group. Copied work from anybody else will be treated very seriously and Zero will be given in the project. The report should be submitted as a hard copy during lecture time on Tuesday 26/3/2013. If you do not submit your report on the due date, there will be plenty of 2 marks for submitting the homework on Wed 27/3/2013. NO report will be accepted after that and you will be awarded Zero in this assessment.
