PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Introduction:

This project will help you apply all the concepts covered in this course for a given scenario. Vince Roberts

runs a vintage record shop in the University district. His shop sells 45s, LPs and old 76 RPM records. Most of

his stock is used. He buys used vinyl from customers or finds them at yard sales and discount stores. He

does sell some new albums that are released on vinyl. So far, he has kept most of his inventory either in his

head or in a spiral notebook he keeps behind the sale counter. But his inventory and his business have grown

to where that is far from sufficient.

In this project, you will review the information given in the scenario and based on that information, create the

following documents pertaining to the scenario:

Statement of Work (SOW)

Business requirements and rules

ERD

Security plan for the database

Course Objectives Tested:

1. Define a relational database.

2. Gather database requirements.

3. Define business rules for a database.

4. Create an entity design for a database using MS Visio.

8. Define the security context of a database and its users in MS SQL Server.

Title: Compile a Database

Project Details: Click here to review the Vince’s Vinyl database

scenario. Based on your review of the scenario, complete the following

tasks:

Create a Statement of Work (SOW). Include a brief history, a

statement of scope, objectives, and a preliminary timeline. You

should aim to complete this database in one month’s time. Click

Did you create a SOW that

includes history, scope,

objectives, and timeline

with deliverables?

Did you create a

comprehensive list of well-

defined requirements

grouped by different

Description/Requirements of Project Evaluation Criteria

here for SOW format.

Make a list of four to five issues with the current system in

Vince’s shop. Make a list that shows the database requirements

for each stakeholder involved in the database.

Create a set of four to five business rules for the database.

Review the requirements and rules that you have gathered after

reviewing Vince’s records scenario. Based on this review,

define your entities and attributes and the relations that exist

between them.

Download Visio on your local PC. This software title is available

for download from ITT Technical Institute's DreamSpark

software download site. For more information, please review the

DreamSpark Implementation Guide, available at the ITT

Center.

Create a logical Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) using crow’s

feet notation in Visio. Review and normalize your ERD.

Evaluate all entities against the first three normal forms.

Create a security plan that includes authentication and

authorization and general policies and procedures. Use roles,

stored procedures, views, and other tools in your security plan.

Create a preliminary threat analysis for each user of the

database. Describe threats posed by each user to the proposed

database.

Make a preliminary disaster management plan. The plan does

not have to be full or elaborate, but should include some

policies about backup, access, and data recovery. It should

include some procedural lists for one or two of the tasks in the

stakeholders?

Did you build a

comprehensive list of valid

business rules?

Does your normalized

ERD contain all the

domain entities and all

attributes?

Did you create an

authentication and

authorization plan for each

user based on the user

needs of the database?

Did you create a threat

analysis plan identifying

potential threats from each

user?

Did you create a disaster

management plan for the

proposed database?
