    Specifications (1/3)
    1. In an educational institute, there are several
    departments and students belong to one of them.
    Each department has a unique department number, a
    name, a location, phone number and is headed by a
    professor.
    2. Professors have a unique employee Id, name, phone
    number. We like to keep track of the following details
    regarding students: name, unique roll number, sex,
    phone number, date of birth, age and one or more
    email addresses.

    3. Students have a local address consisting of the hostel
    name and the room number. They also have home
    address consisting of house number, street, city and
    PIN. It is assumed that all students reside in the
    hostels.
    4. A course taught in a semester of the year is called a
    section. There can be several sections of the same
    course in a semester; these are identified by the
    section number. Each section is taught by a different
    professor and has its own timings and a room to meet.

    5. Students enroll for several sections in a semester. Each
    course has a name, number of credits and the department
    that offers it. A course may have other courses as pre-
    requisites i.e, courses to be completed before it can be
    enrolled in.
    6. Professors also undertake research projects. These are
    sponsored by funding agencies and have a specific start
    date, end date and amount of money given. More than one
    professor can be involved in a project. Also a professor
    may be simultaneously working on several projects. A
    project has a unique projectId.

    Example COMPANY Database

    • Requirements of the Company


    (oversimplified for illustrative purposes)
    – The company is organized into
    DEPARTMENTs. Each department has a name,
    number and an employee who manages the
    department. We keep track of the start date of
    the department manager.
    – Each department controls a number of
    PROJECTs. Each project has a name, number
    and is located at a single location.
    Example COMPANY Database (Cont.)

    – We store each EMPLOYEE’s social security


    number, address, salary, sex, and birthdate.
    Each employee works for one department but
    may work on several projects. We keep track of
    the number of hours per week that an employee
    currently works on each project. We also keep
    track of the direct supervisor of each employee.
    – Each employee may have a number of
    DEPENDENTs. For each dependent, we keep
    track of their name, sex, birthdate, and
    relationship to employee.
