Case Study: Event Management Customizer (EMC)
SAT is a startup company based in Naxal; Kathmandu established in January 2022. SAT is planning to create an Inventory Management System and sell it to different clients. Inventory Management System helps track Inventories and various needed information regarding it.
Based on the software, clients with huge inventories of any kind of product can use the system. For operating the software clients are divided into multiple roles including unique client number, user role, admin role, and super admin role. Information like name, email, phone number, password, and whether it is enabled or not is stored for each user. The roles of each user are also maintained.
Users can add or edit products as needed. Various information regarding the product like name of the product, description, SKU, price, active status of the product, and category.
Each product has its own unique SKU and its product id. Normal users, super admin, and admin all can create products. There is an option to remove the active status which will remove or hide the product from the system software. Products will also have information about if they can be returned or not, are discontinued or not. Products that have returnable status can be returned by the user and the products which have discontinued status are discontinued and is not displayed in the product dashboard on the application.
Customers can buy the products. Each customer will have a unique id, full name, address (street address, state, city), pan number, phone number, email, and which user created the customer. Each product purchased by the customer can be viewed on sales which will show the customer’s details, a product sold, quantity, date, discount applied, the tax applied, subtotal, unique sales id, and unique sales number.
Store owners can also update their inventory by purchasing new products which can be viewed on purchases. Each purchase has a unique purchase id, which vendor the purchase was made from, the quantity of the product, discount if applied, tax if used, a unique purchase number, and which user created the purchase. Users can buy multiple products at once and all the details of all the products including all the product details, their individual price, discount, the tax applied and total price, total discount, and tax applied to all the products are displayed on the customers. Also, customers can buy many products at once and all the product details individual price, the tax also total product price, discount price, and tax applied is displayed.

TAKE NOTE:
The start-up team is also required to carry out findings (research) to improve the above requirement given. As a new team you need to be aware of the services that you plan to offer and how you are planning to bring these records into the database. The research phase is to bring the model to incorporate other relevant information that would make the database more useful for SAT (relevant to item 3 tabled below in business process change).
The above model requires some changes to cater for business process changes encountered from the year 2019. The detailed requirement has been tabulated to provide proper understanding of what is intended from the start-up team. Customer information, purchase and sales information, products, roles etc. have been detailed out clearly to provide a clear direction on what is intended to be part of the final database model required from the start-up team. Your task is to ensure that given information is properly analyzed and considered for the database modeling phase. The Team lead has communicated the following information to you and expects SAT to deliver the changes to accommodate to the current system as soon as possible.

Tasks:
A. Design: (30 marks) 1. Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) – Map the entities with appropriate relationships.
2. Physical Model → Provide the necessary information for the Model (Relational Model – ensure data integrity).
5
B. Deployment: (20 marks) 3. Implementation: create database tables and populate the data (each table should have 20+ rows of valid records if it’s applicable). This may not be applicable for all tables. Product should sufficiently have at least 30 records.
6
C. SQL Report: (42 marks)
1. Provide a list of all the products currently active and list its categories.
2. Write SQL query to list down all the product details and number of sales of each product.
3. Provide a report that indicates the total number of purchases made by each user and all the details of each purchase including the total price, total discount provided, total tax and grand total.
4. Identify from the system the customers that have bought the highest number of products and highest amount in product.
5. Provide a report of all the products created by each type of users. 6. Write SQL query to list how many times each product has been purchased and also sold.
D. Unforeseen challenges: (8 marks)
1. Discuss about how the entire report was created including the roles and responsibilities of each team member, how the ER diagram was created, how database was designed and how it was converted to a physical database. Also explain what business requirements needed to be added to the system to make it easier to use.
Marks Tabulation process:
Students need to be aware that database design outcome affects the development process of the database. If the final report and design is not being properly considered then the implementation and roll- out carries the effect of the database design. In the case of poor database design, a simple reduction of marks with design, will be carried to development as well. Incorrect and inaccurate design leads to incorrect and inaccurate development as well, even though the implementation is completed.
