You need to design and implement the database using LibreOffice Base or Microsoft Access.
(1) Provide a word document containing the following:
a. Introduction - a summary of the case study
b. Justification of the use of database
c. Database Design: E-R Diagram
d. Discussion on the decision usefulness of two additional queries that you propose
e. Ethical, privacy and security issues
(2) Provide the LibreOffice Base or Microsoft Access files used in creating the tables, forms, queries and reports
Case : Robin's Apparel Business
Required:
(1) Why does Robin needs a database for her business? Provide justification for your answer.
(2) Create an E-R Diagram using Diagram Editor for Robin's business.
(3) Create tables in a database using the following guidelines. Use LibreOffice Base or Microsoft Access for creating this database.
(a) Enter at least seven records for the products: two types of t-shirts (short and long sleeved), two types of fleece jackets (pullover and zipped), hoodies, baseball caps, and fleece hats. Assume that all apparel except headwear comes in small, medium, and large sizes.
(b) Enter records for at least fifteen customers. Use your own name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address to create an additional customer record. Assume that the business comes from your university town and one other town nearby.
(c) Each customer should have at least one order; a few customers should place two orders. Each order should contain multiple items.
(d) Appropriately limit the size of the text fields; for example, a telephone number does not need the default length of 255 characters.
(4) Create a form and subform based on your Orders table and Order Line Item table. Save the form as Orders. Your form should resemble that in Figure 1.
(5) Create the following queries in your database
(a) Query 1: Create a select query called Products Less Than $15 that displays a listof all products that cost less than $15. Your output should resemble that shown in Figure 2, although your data will be different.
(b) Query 2: Create a query called Favorite Colors. List the colors of the products ordered and determine how many have been ordered of each; report the amounts in a column labelled Number Ordered. Sort the query output. Note the column heading change from the default setting provided by the query generator. Your output should resemble the format shown in Figure 3, but the data will be different.
(c) Query 3: Create a query called Best Selling Product. List the product descriptions and determine how many orders have been received for each product. Report the amounts in a column labelled Number Ordered. Sort the output. Note the column heading change from the default setting provided by the query generator. Your output should resemble the format shown in Figure 4, but the data will be different.
(d) Query 4: Create a query called Best Customers that lists the customers' names, phone numbers, and the total amounts of their orders. You will have to calculate the order amounts and sort the output. Note the column heading change from the default setting provided by the query generator. Your output should resemble the format shown in Figure 5, but the data will be different.
(6) Create the following reports in your database
(a) Report 1: Create a report named Customers' Orders. The date range for the report should be displayed at the top. The report's output should show headings for Customer Name, Product Description, Quantity, New Price, and Total. All of this data originates in a query, in which all customers who live in a specified city receive a 20% discount. All other customers pay the full price. The discounted price or full price is noted in the New Price column. Then you calculate the amount of money owed for each product, which is the New Price multiplied by the Quantity. Save the query as For Report, bring the query data into a report, and group the report on Customer Name. Make sure that all column headings and data are visible and that all money amounts are formatted properly into currency. Depending on your data, your output should resemble that shown in Figure 6.
(b) Report 2: Bring the Favorite Colors query output into a report. Save the report as Favorite Colors. Make sure that all column headings and data are visible. Depending on your data, your report should resemble that in Figure 7.
(7) Suggest TWO additional queries that can be used for this business. Create these queries in the database. Explain how these queries will enable Robin to make better business decisions.
(8) What ethical, privacy and security issues might Robin encounter when using database?
