The purpose of this

database is:
Collect and using
information about
students.
Find, delete, add
new records, etc.
To help find what
people are looking
for.

Table structures

In relational a table is a
set of data elements
also known as values,
and it uses a model of
vertical columns
(identifiable by name)
and horizontal rows, the
cell being the unit
where a row and
column intersect. A
table has a specified
number of columns and
this what the Cornish
extreme Database
does.

What is a primary
key? A primary key
is used to uniquely
identify each row
in a table.

Field characteristics

In a doctor's database, there

would be severalfields. The
fields could contain the
patient's name, address,
telephone or mobile number,
their Name,Age,Date of
birth, allergies, and the
doctor's name. Each thing
would have a field of its own.
So the patient's name and
the doctor's name would be
in two separate fields. When
the data is viewed, the fields
would appear as columns
within the data. The fields
need to be defined before
any data is put in. So you
would specify that you want
a field for a phone number
and a field for a doctor's
name etc. when you are
designing the database.

Validation rules

This database uses

validation rule so that the
users can not make a
mistake easily, when the
user choose the activity
they want all they have to
do is write in the code
number and they will find
what they are looking for
all thanks to this
Database. This improves
the usability because this
is fast and quick and
makes is easy to interact
with the database

Indexing record
( Database index)
Adatabase indexis adata
structure that improves
the speed of data retrieval
operations on adatabase
tableat the cost of
additional writes and
storage space to maintain
the index data structure.
Indexes are used to quickly
locate data without having
to search every row in a
database table every time
a database table is
accessed.

Relationships

Shaun Granger

This database has relationships that links the activity details,

instructor details, venue details and students details together
so the company can find or even add students fast, as finding
the activities that they offer. This database improves the
performance of Database

11

(Forms)
This Database lets You use the student record to see what students are in the database.

12

This Database gives you the option to add new students to the database.
Shaun Granger

This improves accuracy because the student will not be able to make a mistake easily and the
usability of this database is that its strong as the students can fill the forms quickly.

You can see what activity the person has chosen along with time and date.
The page shows all information like DOB, M/F, etc.

This database uses

hyperlinks that
allows users to
navigate around
the data base much
easily. This
improves because
this makes it a lot
more easy for
people to find what
they are looking for.

Sorts.
Shaun Granger

The best sorting algorithm

which implements the
divide and conquer
concept. It first divides the
list into two parts by picking
an element a pivot. It then
arranges the elements those
are smaller than pivot into
one sub list and the
elements those are greater
than pivot into one sub list
by keeping the pivot in its
original place.

Queries

This database allows users to find instructors and ask the

database queries. This improves the usability because the
database will not allows users to look for the people in the
database.
