Assessment Type: Report
This is your assignment for this module. It is worth 75% of your overall grade for this
module.
This is an INDIVIDUAL piece of work contributing towards the module assessment. Evidence of
plagiarism or collusion will be taken seriously, and University regulations followed. You are advised
to be familiar with the University definitions of plagiarism and collusion.

Please ensure to use TurnItIt to check your work and that your similarity score is not more than 20%

Assessment Brief:
This is the second part of the assessment for this module. It builds on what you have done
in your first assignment as you will need to discuss and explain, with evidence, the process
you followed to implement your database design. You need to show evidence of ability to
translate a design into a functional database. This part is worth 50% of the overall grade for
this module.

Assessment Deliverables:
1. In-class demonstration of the developed database system. You will be
demonstrating your completed solution in-class at the end of the term. (40 Marks)
2. Implementation document (see below). You are required to submit a MS Word
document describing the implementation stages of the project. This should cover
the steps you have followed to convert your design (assignment 1) into a fully
functional database using MySQL Workbench. This is worth 50% of your overall
grade for this module. (60 Marks)

Assignment tasks (Implementation document): 1000 words

 Physical design and implementation (800 words)

 design base relations
 discuss implementation solutions;
 implement integrity constraints, where possible; implement primary key,
candidate keys, foreign keys, foreign key rules and attribute constraints;
 design views, triggers, procedures, if appropriate;
 design queries;
 design security mechanisms
 Personal reflection. You are required to reflect on your project and presentation as well
as evaluate the learning you have taken from this module. (200 words)

Your document should be in a report format containing a table of content, headings and
sub-headings as necessary. You are also required to acknowledge any source of information
you have used in your document in the form of in-text citations; and a references list at the
end of your document.
