Introduction

This proposal explains the purpose, audience, problems, aims and objectives of
the project. The project is about a database management system. The database is
about a kennel club known as “Pokhara Kennel Club”. The kennel club is all about
selling dogs and its accessories. So, the database is made to store the data about the
dogs, customer, suppliers, employees etc. The program is written on the Xampp control
panel and MySQL which provides a good way of data storage.

 Purpose
In a paper based management system an organization can face many
problems regarding recording and storage of data. Pokhara kennel club
requires to store a lot of data about dogs, customers, suppliers and many
more. So a database is needed to be developed in order to avoid
problems from paper based management system and storing data with
more accuracy and systematic way.
 Problem Statement
An organization can face many problems developing database in improper
way in paper management system. It may consume more time. There may
be mistakes while managing the data unknowingly. Once made mistakes
are almost impossible to find in paper management system. So, the
project has the aim to solve the problem by replacing paper based
management system with computer based management system bringing
simplicity, efficiency and accuracy in data management by saving more
time.
 Aims and objectives
The important aim of this project is to focus on the database management
system of the kennel club and solve each and every problems of it. The
problems that we face in database management of kennel club like time
are needed to be solved. This project has the aim to solve different
 problems of the kennel club and provide efficiency and simplicity to record
the data about everything creating a database regarding the kennel club.
Hence, we need to create a data model for the kennel club named
“Pokhara Kennel Club”.
 Proposed approach
To solve each and every problems and complete the project or
coursework in time following approaches will be taken:
 Deep research on database will be done.
 Datas and information about the Kennel club will be taken.
 I will develop the suitable data model for the organization
 The Relational diagram and Entity-Relation diagram will be drawn for the
data model.
 Data dictionary for all tables of database will be prepared.
 Database will be created using MySQL.
 Different queries will be applied in the created database.
 Target audience
The target audience of this project is any kennel club or any other small or
good organization wanting to implement computer based database
management system. This project would also help the students studying
about the database management system.
 Hardware and software requirements
Well there are no special hardware requirements as we only need a laptop
to run the software required for database management and creating
database. But we need many softwares for the project. XAMPP PHP must
be installed in our operating system which works as local Apache web
server bundled with MySQL and PHP. We need Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Visio to prepare the report.

1. Introduction
Pokhara Kennel Club is a business related organization that handles the
trading of dogs and its accessories. There should be proper records of the
stock or dogs, customers, orders and suppliers in the organization. Kennel
club needs to record the information about the dogs and materials they
imported and sold. This might get difficult in a paper management system.
My project of creating database of kennel club helps in the database
management of the following related organization.
“Pokhara kennel club” is situated in Newroad, Pokhara. It was established
in 2015 A.D. with a goal to provide proper dog services to people. It is a
profit oriented business organization dealing with selling and buying
different breeds of dogs. The price of dogs here ranges from 3000 rupees
to 25000 rupees. It provides the best quality dogs to pet in Pokhara.
Established with the investment of about 10 lakhs the business has grown
now and become worth around 30 lakhs. Kennel club being a good
organization I chose it for my project.
The project is to develop the database for the kennel club which could
keep the records about different information in table. It would help to gain
about any records or data in accurate and efficient way. A deep research
on the organization and database related to the organization was done
before starting this project. This project would be helpful to provide idea
about database of the kennel club and the organizations similar to this.
Pokhara Kennel Club is one of the biggest kennel club which needs to
handle their data properly. So a computer based database management
system is best suited to them.
The project would help the “Pokhara Kennel Club” in various ways. For
any organization which requires handling lots of customer, products,
orders and supplier may think as computerized database management
system as best for them. Also in the database can handle the data or
information about every employees too. Every information regarding the

Rohit Shrestha 1
CC4002NP Information Systems

kennel club like customers, orders, dogs, employees, etc. can be stored in
the created database. The database makes the data easier to handle.
They can be retrieved, updated and deleted when needed with a lot more
accuracy, efficiency and easily consuming less time. Hence, a good
organization having a lot of data can accept the database management
system.
So, our project would give the basic idea about the computerized
database management system about the kennel club or any other
organization and would provide the faster and easier way.

2. Discussion and Analysis

I needed to create a database according to the project or the coursework.
The main task of this project was to provide the information about Relational
Database Management System. We needed to gain the knowledge about various
MySQL commands too. So I did a lot of researches and discussed with my
classmates and module leader before starting the coursework. For completion of
coursework I decided to use following softwares and tools.

 XAMPP

XAMPP is a free and open-source cross-platform web server solution

stack package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the
Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts
written in the PHP and Perl programming languages. (Wikipedia, 2018)
XAMPP is the best software to learn database being easier to use and
there is no need to install MySQL as it comes with the XAMPP. In
XAMPP, X stands for cross platform, A stands for Apache, M for
MariaDB, P stands for PHP and P stands for Perl programming.

 Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is a widely used commercial word processor designed by

Microsoft. Microsoft Word is a component of the Microsoft Office suite of
productivity software, but can also be purchased as a stand-alone product.
(Techopedia, 2018) It has different good features and is easier to use. It
has many fonts and styles. I used Microsoft Word for reporting purpose.

 Microsoft Visio

Microsoft Visio is a diagramming and vector graphics application and is

part of the Microsoft Office family. The product was first introduced in
1992, made by the Shapeware Corporation. It was acquired by Microsoft
in 2000. (Wikipedia, 2018) Microsoft Visio can be used to make flow
diagrams, tables and many more. I used Microsoft Visio to make the
Relational Model and ER diagram for the database.

3. Data Model
Data models define how the logical structure of a database is modeled.
Data Models are fundamental entities to introduce abstraction in a DBMS.
Data models define how data is connected to each other and how they are
processed and stored inside the system. (Tutorialspoint, 2018) Data
models are fundamental entities to introduce abstraction in DBMS. It
describes the relationships between the various parts of the data.
In the database I created known as “Pokhara_Kennel” there are five
tables. They are Dogs, Employees, Customer, Order and Suppliers. The
relationship, data and entities of the tables are described by the data
model.

 Normalization

Normalization is the process of minimizing redundancy from a relation or

set of relations. Redundancy in relation may cause insertion, deletion and
updation anomalies. So, it helps to minimize the redundancy in
relations. Normal forms are used to eliminate or reduce redundancy in
database tables. (GeeksforGeeks)
There are different types of normal forms. They are:
 First Normal Form(1NF)
 Second Normal Form(2NF)
 Third Normal Form(3NF)
 Boyce and Codd Normal Form(BCNF)
 Fourth Normal Form(4NF)
 Fifth Normal Form(5NF)

Rohit Shrestha 5
CC4002NP Information Systems

 Entity-Relationship Diagram

An Entity-Relationship diagram or ER diagram shows the relationship

among entity sets. An entity set is a group of similar entities and these
entities can have attributes. In terms of DBMS, an entity is a table or
attribute of a table in database, so by showing relationship among tables
and their attributes, ER diagram shows the complete logical structure of a
database. (BeginnersBook, 2018) An ER diagram gives the basic idea of
database and provides about the property of an entity and relation
between different entities.
The ER diagram for database “Pokhara_Kennel” is presented below:

The figure above is the Entity-Relationship diagram of the database

Pokhara_kennel. The database has tables Employees, Dogs, Customer,
Orders and Suppliers and the ER diagram shows the relationship between
the tables. The tables are the entity in the diagram and the columns are
the attributes. Here, EmployeeID, PetID, CustomerID, OrderID and
SupplierID are the primary key for the tables Employees, Dogs, Customer,
Order and Suppliers respectively. Primary keys are represented by
underlining them in the ER diagram.

 Relational diagram

The relational model (RM) for database management is an approach to

managing data using a structure and language consistent with first-order
predicate logic, first described in 1969 by English computer scientist Edgar
F. Codd, where all data is represented in terms of tuples, grouped
into relations. A database organized in terms of the relational model is
a relational database. (Wikipedia, 2018) A relational data model describes
data and the relationships that exist between those data.

Figure 4: Relational Model of Pokhara_Kennel

Rohit Shrestha 8
CC4002NP Information Systems

The following relational model describes the relation between the table as
following relationships:
 One to one Relationship: Any two tables are said to have one to
one relationship if a single record in the first table is related to only
one record in the second table, and a single record in the second
table is related to only one record in the first table.
 One to many Relationship: Any two tables are said to have one to
many relationship if a single record in the first table can be related
to one or more records in the second table, but a single record in
the second table can be related to only one record in the first table.
 Many to many Relationship: Any two tables are said to have
many to many relationship if a single record in the first table can be
related to one or more records in the second table and a single
record in the second table can be related to one or more records in
the first table.
In above relational model, Employees and Customer has one to
one relation as one Employee deals with only one customer.
Customer has one to many relationship with Orders as one
customer can give many orders. Customer has one to many
relationship with Dogs as one customer can buy many dogs.
Suppliers has one to many relationship with dogs as one supplier
can supply many dogs to the organization.

4. Data dictionary
A data dictionary is a file or a set of files that contains a database's
metadata. The data dictionary contains records about other objects in the
database, such as data ownership, data relationships to other objects, and other
data.The data dictionary is a crucial component of any relational database.
Ironically, because of its importance, it is invisible to most database users.
Typically, only database administrators interact with the data dictionary.
(Techopedia, 2018) It is the set of information which is responsible to describe
the contents, formats and structure of a database and the relationship between
its elements.

6. Query

A query is a request for data or information from a database table or

combination of tables. This data may be generated as results returned by
Structured Query Language (SQL) or as pictorials, graphs or complex results,
e.g., trend analyses from data-mining tools. (Techopedia, 2018)
A query gives a command to the database to display the needed data and the
information. Query languages generate different data types according to function.

 Select distinct query: The Select distinct query is used to return

only distinct values. Inside a table, a column often contains many
duplicate values; and sometimes you only want to list the different values.

Figure 27: Using Select distinct query

Rohit Shrestha 23
CC4002NP Information Systems

 Max query: The max query in mysql is used to find the maximum value of
certain column or expression. This query is useful to determine the largest
of all selected values of a column.

Figure 28: Using Max query

 Order by query: The order by query is used to sort the data in descending
order or ascending order based on one or more columns.

Figure 29: Using Order by query

Rohit Shrestha 24
CC4002NP Information Systems

 Like query: Like query is used with where clause to search for a specified
pattern in a column. The like operators are % and _.

Figure 30: Using Like query

 Sum query: The sum query is used to sum the set of all values. It ignores
the null value.

Figure 31: Using Sum query

Rohit Shrestha 25
CC4002NP Information Systems

 In query: The In operator allows us to specify multiple values in a where

clause. It is a shorthand for multiple OR conditions.

Figure 32: Using In query

 Between query: Between query is used to select the values within a given
range. The values can be numbers, text or dates.

Figure 33: Using Between query

Rohit Shrestha 26
CC4002NP Information Systems

 Inner Join: The inner join selects all the rows from the tables as long as
there is a match between the columns of two tables.

Figure 34: Using Inner Join

 Limit query: Limit query is useful to limit the number of rows that are
returned from any SQL query.

Figure 35: Using Limit query

Rohit Shrestha 27

7. Research
Various researches were done in order from different sites, books and
journals in order to finish the project with success and time. Some of the
researches that I did to complete this coursework are given below:

 Research from websites

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP

Figure 37: Research about XAMPP from website

This website was really helpful for me. It provided me the
information about XAMPP control panel to write about it. It provided
me the real meaning of XAMPP. It provided me other information
except XAMPP which became very helpful to complete my project.

Rohit Shrestha 29
CC4002NP Information Systems

 https://www.tutorialspoint.com/dbms/dbms_data_models.htm

Figure 38: Research about data model from website

So, this website was good to provide me the basic information
about data model which helped me to design the data model
for my database and my database was successfully created. It
also helped me to make the ER diagram and Relational
Model.

Making an Entity Relationship Diagram was not easy. So, I visited a
website known as BeginnersBook which defined the ER diagram
for me and provided me the basic idea to make the ER diagram. So
I found this website really helpful for me.

The above book gave me the basic idea about the database. As
our coursework was mostly about the database, this book was
found to become an important part of research for me.

 Learning PHP, MySQL and JavaScript

Figure 43: Book on MySQL

As our database was based on MySQL I took help from this book
known as “Learning PHP, MySQL and JavaScript” to learn about

8. Conclusion
Our coursework was completely related to database management system.
We were given to choose an organization for the management of their database.
So, I chose a kennel club known as „Pokhara Kennel Club‟. The organization was
about trading the dogs as pet. The organization was a profit oriented medium
scale organization. Hence I chose this organization as it was perfect for our
database project. So the aim of the project was to create a database for the
Pokhara Kennel Club that could store the data and information related to it.

I faced many problems when doing the project. Lack of research and lack
of knowledge was the main problem in the beginning of the coursework. I took
help from my classmates, module leader and did a great research about
database to come over those problems. Database is the record of all the data
and information stored properly. The management of those data is called the
database management system. Computerized database system is very important
as every information in organization is important and it‟s difficult to keep records
in data. MySQL is one of the best languages to use for the database
management. The ease of using it was making the coursework a little easier.
From the coursework we learned about the database, data mode, database
designing and the relationship which should be between the data in the
database.

A database is a wonderful piece of equipment for storing large quantities

of data efficiently. In this project or coursework I focused mainly on building
the database model. These models can be implemented on any RDBMS and
queried using any Structured Query Language. Hence, In conclusion we
developed a data model and a database for a kennel club which could be
implemented by any other small or large scale organization for their database.
