Module Learning Outcomes:

 Apply redundancy control in designing a database.
 Demonstrate a database solution using an appropriate tool based on a case study.
Case Study:
APU’s E-Bookstore
The availability of books and reading material for purchase within the Asia Pacific University
(APU) is quite inadequate. Although the APU library has vast collection of books (both
hardcopy and e-books), the availability of it is quite limited and bound by many restrictions.
Student and staffs only have the option of a small bookshop within the enterprise. Larger books
store in the city are often sought for other varieties.
In view of the growing population within APU, the university is planning to establish an e-
bookstore. The online store will facilitate the purchase of latest books of many genres. Your
team is assigned the project to design and implement a database system for online APU’s e-
Bookstore System.
Scenario:
 Publishers frequently send lists of latest books to the e-bookstore manager. The bookstore
manager compiles a list of needed books and sends an order to the publishers. The publisher
supplies the ordered books to the university. The bookstore manager records the details of the
order and books that have arrived at the bookstore. The orders sent to publishers need to be
recorded in the database
 Customers, who wish to purchase books online, need to initially register as members.
Members will be able to view the book, read reviews and compare the online products with
other similar ones.
 Members who wish to purchase can select their books into the website’s shopping cart. The
cart will show the summary of the selection and total cost to be paid. Once the payment is
made, the order is confirmed, the bookstore will send the books to the customers within 7
working days.
 The system should manage information about books in the bookstore, members and books
they have ordered as well as payment details and delivery status.
 Members can also provide 'rating' for a book, as a score (1-10 which is 0= terrible, 10=
masterpiece) along with optional short text comment. No changes are allowed; only one
feedback per user per book is allowed.
*Note: you may make any other assumptions after discussing them with module lecturer
