The Problem
Dr. Frere's research group has a huge database written and maintained in Microsoft Access that they wish to port to MySQL. Their database has thousands of records that cover information about the eastern water dragons such as description, morphology and when they were contacted. Their database has also a series of views to facilitate complex queries by the numerous researchers that work within Dr. Frere's research group.
Unfortunately, their database has only 2 tables. You will be given 2 excel spreadsheets representing those tables and a subset of their data, and a data dictionary for the table fields. Your main task is to look at the spreadsheets and propose, justify and implement improvements to the database to make it more efficient.
Your assignment is in two parts: Part A: Report, Part B: Code. You are required to submit three files:
<student_Number>_<student_first_name_last_name>_ICT320_PartA.docx qly
<student_Number>_<student_first_name_last_name>_ICT320_PartB.s
<student_Number>_<student_first_name_last_name>_ICT320_PartB.p
You are not to contact Dr. Frere's research group directly as this takes valuable resources away from field group. All client communication is to be directed through your lecturer/tutor or via the course coordinator Mr. Adriano da Silva Marinho.
Please note that all data is copyright and owned by Dr. Celine Frere's research group and or USC and is used with their permission for the purposes of this assignment. Further distribution of this data is not permitted.
For the data dictionary, please refer to the documents "User table and field descriptions.xlsx" and "Behavioural Surveys 2018.docx".
