Task 1: A Bookstore Management Database System

Tom owns and operates a bookstore. You believe that you can help him by
creating a database to store the publishers and the books that Tom sells. You

PAGE

 MAT 2

Tom’s Bookstore Management System | Group 2

determine that a third table is also required. Your task is to design and
populate the three tables, set the table relationships, and enforce referential
integrity.

I. Introduction to the database application

system

First and foremost, to help Tom manage his bookstore, we decided to build the database

with 3 main entities: Book, Author and Publisher; and an additional entity: Users.

This bookstore management database lets Tom login to his database and make faster data

storage and recollection. Tom can search for book titles that he sells much quicker, with

features relating to Author, Publisher and Price. This application can assist Tom in his book

store operations by saving time searching for documents without digging through every book

on the shelf. It is also secured with Tom users’ information and password.

Minimum Requirements for the system:

Specification: A description of the bookstore system using Entity Relationship Diagram

(ERD) and Data Structure Diagram (DSD)

Storage: For Tom’s bookstore, the bookstore management system stores each result in

Access, managing 7 authors, 12 books and 6 publishers while also records specific data about

authors, books and publishers’ information.

PAGE

MERG
 MAT 2

Tom’s Bookstore Management System | Group 2

Data Entry: Set up at least one form in Access that allows a user to update at least one of the

following:

● Add and update a new author.

● Add and update a new publisher.

● Add and update a new book.

Output:

● Display all books published by PubID “LBC” AND the PublDate is 2001 in a report.

● Display the authors and total stock values by AuthorID in a report.

Analysis: Set up queries to show the following:

● Create a query that display all books written by author 15 and published in 2002.

● Create a query to calculate the total stock value by author.

II. System analysis

1. Investigation of the business:

According to the given information from Tom’s bookstore, we decided to build the

database with 3 main entities: Book, Author and Publisher; and an additional entity to store

Users information along with a password.

Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 1 Entity Relationship Diagram

Analyzing the Entity Relationship Diagram:

● Each Author can write more than one Book, but each Author must write at least one

book (symbolized by ).

● Each Book must be written by one Author and can only be written by one Author

(symbolized by ).

PAGE

MERG
 MAT 2

Tom’s Bookstore Management System | Group 2

● Each Book must be published by one Publisher and can only be published by one

Publisher (symbolized by ).

● Each Publisher can publish more than one Book, but each Publisher must publish at

least one Book (symbolized by ).

● Users does not have any relationships with the storage of the bookstore database, it only

stores the Username and Password to login in order to use the system.

III. System design

1. Data Structure Diagram (DSD):

DSD or Data Structure Diagram is a diagram descripting the conceptual data model

including the entities, relationships between them and obligatory conditions and requirements

which connect them. Data Structure Diagram is a subspecies of the “Entity-Relationship”

Diagram (ERD).

Based on the analysis in the previous step, our group defined 4 entity classes: tblAuthor,

tblBook, tblPublisher, and tblUsers.

There are four fields in tblAuthor: AuthorID, Title, LastName, FirstName;

There are seven fields in tblBook: AuthorCode, BookTitle, ISBN, PubID, PubIDate, Price,

StockAmt;

There are six fields in tblPublishers: PubID, PubName, PubAddress, PubCity, PubState,

PubZip.

There are three fields in tblUsers: UserID, Username, Password.

PAGE

 MAT 2

Tom’s Bookstore Management System | Group 2

The database includes:

● 3 relations.

● 2 relationships.

● 3 primary keys.

Rules establishment:

Show both the Entities and Relations, each Relationship

describes the relation between 2 Entities. “1 - ∞” represents a “1-

to-many” Relationship.

Figure 2 Data Structure Diagram

In each table, a primary key is used to identify each record in the table and guarantee this

record to be unique. In this Bookstore Management System database, the primary key is used for

field “AuthorID” in tblAuthor, “ISBN” in tblBook, and “PubID” in tblPublisher.

PAGE
\*
MERG
 MAT 2

Tom’s Bookstore Management System | Group 2

In this DSD Specification, each table is connected with the other by a “One-to-Many”

relationship:

● Between tblAuthor and tblBook, fields “AuthorID” are connected with

“AuthorCode”. One author can write many books for different publishers, but

each book ISBN is correspondent to one and only one author.

● Between tblBook and tblPublisher, fields “PubID” are connected. One publisher can

publish many books from different authors, but each book ISBN is

correspondent to one and only one publisher.

● With one book ISBN, one and only one AuthorID, and one and only one PubID is

corresponded.

2. Database Modeling:

● In table tblAuthor, we select AuthorID as primary key because each Author has a
unique Author ID.

Figure 3 tblAuthor in Datasheet View

● In table tblBook, we select ISBN as primary key because each Book has a unique ISBN.

PAGE

 MAT 2

Tom’s Bookstore Management System | Group 2

Figure 4 tblBook in Datasheet View

● In table tblPublisher, we selected PubID as primary key to because each Publisher has
a unique Publisher ID.

Figure 5 tblPublisher Datasheet View

● In table tblUsers, we selected UserID as primary key to because each User has a unique
User ID.

IV. System implementation

1. Table creation:

The bookstore data is stored across 3 tables as shown above, the structure of each table

is as follow:

a. tblAuthor:

As for the title of each Author, set the Data Type to “Lookup Wizard” and choose to “type

in the value” that you want. In this case, the 3 values are: “Mr.”; “Mrs.”; “Ms.”.

b. tblBook:

The Data Type for Field Name “AuthorCode” in tblBook is set as LookupWizard to

AuthorID in tblAuthor. The Data Type for Field Name “PubCode” in tblBook is set as

LookupWizard to PubID in tblPublisher.

Change the Input Mask of the field Password to “password” so that the text will be

presented as “****”. The tblUsers table is not used to store data of Tom’s bookstore. The

table is used to store Tom’s Username and Password. Tom can change password or add users

to the bookstore management system so that employees can use the system with Tom. Table

tblUsers is linked to the from frmLogin, which requires users to fill in the information in

order to use the system.
