Step 1: Designing the Database

Using MS Access, create your database as designed in Phase 1.


1.1. Create a new database file in MS Access. 1.2. Create the first
table as per the design. Add all fields with the correct data types, and
ensure the primary key is correctly set. 1.3. Repeat the same process
for the second table. 1.4. Once both tables are created, establish
relationships between the tables through the Database Tools ->
Relationships section.

Step 2: Setting Up the Delphi Project

2.1. Create a new VCL Forms Application in Delphi. 2.2. Save the
project and all units in a dedicated directory.

Step 3: Designing the User Interface

Based on your design, create the forms and place the necessary
components on each form.

Step 4: Establishing Database Connections

Use ADO (ADOConnection, ADOQuery, ADOTable) or similar


components to connect Delphi to the MS Access database you've
created.

Step 5: Coding the Application

Start coding the functionalities based on the IPO table for each form.
Keep in mind the requirements for:
5.1. Iteration constructs: Use for, while or repeat loops where necessary.
5.2. Conditional constructs: Use if and case statements to control
program flow. 5.3. User defined methods: Create procedures and
functions for repetitive tasks or to simplify your code. 5.4. Text files:
Use TStringList or TextFile for reading and writing to text files. 5.5. User
defined class: Implement the class designed in Phase 1. 5.6. Database
manipulation: Use SQL statements in the ADOQuery component to
insert, read, update and delete records.

Step 6: Implementing Validation

Make sure your application includes data validation based on the rules
specified in the Validation table.

Step 7: Testing

Use the test data described in your design to ensure that the
application works as expected.

Step 8: Documenting

Make sure to add comments to your code for clarity and easier
debugging.

Step 9: Implementing Help/Tutorials

Create an additional form or use ShowMessage function to provide


guidance to the users of your application.

Step 10: Additional Requirements

As per the instructions, your application should also include one or


more of dynamically created objects, one dimensional array or two-
dimensional array.
This should give you a solid roadmap to complete your application.
Note that each step can be complex and might require further research
and learning, especially if you're new to Delphi or databases. If you
run into specific issues or need further clarification, don't hesitate to
ask.
