You have been supplied with the following source file:
M22trips.csv
You must use the most efficient method to solve each task. All documents produced must be of a
professional standard and suit the business context.
You work for Tawara High School and will design an entity relationship diagram for a database. The
database will hold details about students, their teachers and their classes. Tawara High School will use
the database when producing the school’s timetable.
The school has a weekly timetable that does not change.
• Each student studies a number of subjects.

• For each subject studied, each student is a member of one class which has 4 lessons a week.
• Each subject on the timetable has more than one class.
• Each lesson has a single teacher, but classes can have a different teacher for each of the 4
lessons.
1 Create a new document. Save this document in rich text format with the file name Evidence_
followed by your centre number_candidate number
e.g. Evidence_ZZ999_9999
Create in your Evidence Document a conceptual entity relationship diagram to design this
database.
Save your Evidence Document. [32]
You will create a small database for the Geography department to hold details of 6 field trips to different
places.
Use your local currency where appropriate. Format this to 2 decimal places.
2 Open and carefully examine the data in the file M22trips.csv
Analyse the contents of this file and create a data dictionary in your Evidence Document for a
database normalised to first normal form (1NF). Do not include the data in the To Pay column.
Save your Evidence Document. [17]
3 Use your data dictionary and the file M22trips.csv to create a database to 1NF. Do not include the
data from the To Pay column in your database. Save your database as THS_1NF_ followed by
your centre number_candidate number
e.g. THS_1NF_ZZ999_9999 [6]
4 Use the same data to create a relational database normalised to third normal form (3NF).
Save your database as THS_3NF_ followed by your centre number_candidate number

e.g. THS_3NF_ZZ999_9999 [24]

5 Use this database to create and appropriately label a report to identify all students who have not
fully paid for each trip. The amount a student still has to pay for a trip must be called ‘outstanding
balance’ in the report.
• Group the report by the destination for the trip, with only the name of the destination in
the group header.
• Display only the student ID, name and outstanding balance for each student within each
group.
• Sort the data within each group into descending order of the outstanding balance.
• Include the total outstanding balance for each destination in the report.
• Include the total outstanding balance for all destinations together in the report.
• Make sure that the data fits within the width of a single portrait A4 page.
• Place your name, centre number and candidate number at the bottom right of each page.
Save the report within your THS_3NF database. [11]
