IS361 Database Management Concepts 

 

PROJECT 

 

Due Date: 5/5/2014 

 

 

 

Please read the high-level requirements for each problem carefully. Develop a Design Document for each 

problem containing at minimum the following: 

 Conceptual/Logical design represented by an ERD using one of the modeling notations in 

Appendix A of the textbook, preferably Visio Professional 2010. All many-to-many relationships 

must be eliminated. Must show all entities, attributes, types, constraints (PK, not null), 

relationships (PK/FK), relationship names, and cardinalities. (210 Points) 

 List of all assumptions you have made during the design process. (10 Points) 

 Physical design of the database from the ERD preferably using DDLs within either Microsoft SQL 

Server or Oracle environment. (70 Points) 

 List of potential applications, reports, and queries that will use the database. (5 Points) 

 List of potential solutions for Hardware, O/S, Software and Networking. (5 Points) 

You will be graded based on accuracy, consistency, thoroughness, presentation and the overall quality of 

your design document. Keep in mind you are a highly paid Information Technology professional. 

You must place your final design document in the designated dropbox on www.parkonline.org Course Site 

by the above due date. Any late submissions will not be graded and will earn zero points. 

 

PROBLEM #1: 

 

REQUIREMENTS: A database needs to be designed to keep track of the teams and games of a sports 

league. A team has a number of players, not all of whom participate in each game. It is desired to keep 

track of the players participating in each game for each team and the result of the game. You must choose 

one sport (soccer, football, baseball, basketball, etc.). 

 

 

PROBLEM #2: 

 

REQUIREMENTS: Yotown Records has decided to store information about musicians who perform on 

its albums (as well as other company data) in a database. 

 Each musician that records at Yotown has an SSN, a name, an address, and a phone number. Poorly 

paid musicians often share the same address, and no address has more than one phone. 

 Each instrument that is used in songs recorded at Yotown has a name (i.e., guitar, synthesizer, flute) 

and a musical key (i.e., C, B-flat, E-flat). 

 Each album that is recorded on the Yotown label has a title, a copyright date, a format (i.e., CD, MC), 

and an album identifier. 

 Each song recorded at Yotown has a title and an author. 

 Each musician may play several instruments, and a given instrument may be played by several 

musicians. 

 Each album has a number of songs on it, but no song may appear on more than one album. 

 Each song is performed by one or more musicians, and a musician may perform a number of songs. 

 Each album has exactly one musician who acts as its producer. A musician may produce several 

albums, of course.
