INTRODUCTION
The assignment will describe system of National Bank of Malawi which is commercial
banking industry to come up with good developed database system in order to manage
data of bank officers, customers, accounts and also holding different transactions. This
assignment is divided into three parts: design, queries and assessment.
Task 1 Analysis and Design
a) Identify and discuss your chosen organization, with a minimum of six (6) entities.
Database refers to an organized collection of logically related data. Commercial
Banking is the chosen industry which is well-known National Bank of Malawi that will
database skills will be demonstrated and commercial banking by the way needs to have
database to be organized and implemented for them to quick retrieve data, easy
storage of data and manipulation of data. This will also help in operations of its
transaction operations.
The database which commercial banking is looking for to be implemented as an
industry will hold data about bank, branch, bank officers, accounts, customer and loans.
Its transactions include opening branches in different cities or town locations, employing
and allocating bank officers in the branches, opening accounts for its customers,
recording customers data and giving customers loans which will also requires data to be
recorded and organized well that will help to carry out its day to days business
transactions. The commercial banking will have the following entities that is expected to
be hold in its database and these are: Bank, branch, bank officer, customer and loan.
The following are advantages of database implementation at commercial banking and
these are:

  Improved data sharing and data security database implementation will help commercial
banking industry to increase accessibility to data which will help end users share the
quickly and effectively across the organization.
 Effective data integration will be improved since industry management system data
integrate will be improved and it will become easy to see how operations in the
segment of the industry affect other segments.
 Consistent data that complies with regulations data management system provide a
better bond for the enforcement of data privacy and security policies.
 Increase in productivity of the end user this will be enhanced since database
management system is well managed and will always result in productivity for users
such as customers will easily quick access to the information from their bank and make
informed decisions.
[ CITATION Rin21 \l 1033 ]
Despite database management brings advantages but there also some of the
disadvantages of implementing a database and these are:
 Database systems are difficult and time consuming to design.
 Damage of database system affects all virtually application s programs.
 It is also too much costs when moving a file system to a database system.
 It requires initial training for all programmers and users.

Task 3 Assessment and evaluation

How well your database meets the data and information requirements of your chosen
organization.
The database of commercial banking was created to carry out or hold data about the
bank in general, bank manager, branch, account, customer, Loan. Having determined
the data type that will be carried out by the commercial banking, from these entities we
were able to create 6 tables in the Task 2(a) which were then filled with data in Task
2(b).
How the use of ER modelling is important in the design of a database solution.
The use of ER modelling is very important because it helps the developer of the whole
database system to make easy to explain well to a company or organisation or
customer on how system was developed and how will it works, which will in return
successful operation of the database system by the users of the organisation.
Any assumptions that you have made and how they impact the design.
First assumption is that the customer can open account to the bank on his/her own
choice with the bank. Customer entity was introduced to resolve the many to many
relationships that existed between the customers and account entities. It was
discovered that the customer depend on the account identification (ID), of which brought
a foreign key on loan from the customer identification.
How the database supports the transactions you have identified in Task1.
Database system supports transactions in different ways for instance, commercial
banking is now able to track its financial operations easy by just updating the database
system when opening customer accounts in the tables rather than creating one by one.
It will also help the commercial banking to delete unnecessary documents or files from
their system easy by using deleting query statement that has been implemented in the
database system. It will also help the commercial banking to keep its data records
simply rather than using paper written based documents which requires large storage.
Conclusion
This report has been based on Commercial banking database system development that
will help in its transactions and other different tasks within the bank.
