booking and cancellation of t ickets, enquiry about the status of the
booked ticket, etc. The aim of case study is to design and develop a
data base maintaining r ecords of different t rains, train status and
passengers. This project conta ins introdu ction to the r ailways
r eservation system. It is the computerized system of reserving the
seats of train seats in advance. It is mainly used for a long route.
Online reservation has made the process for the reservation of seats

utilization of resources. Administrator of the project, with the h elp of
a password, can enter new train record, display all train records,
