The University Lab: Conceptual
Design Verification, Logical Design,
and Implementation
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and
Management, Fifth Edition, Rob and Coronel

In this chapter, you will learn:
• How the Lab Management System modules are defined
and refined
• How attributes and domains are identified and
defined for each of the entities defined in the initial E-R
model
• How the database transactions are identified and
defined within the system modules
• That the design verification process uses modeling
and normalization techniques concurrently to find and
eliminate data redundancies
• Review the steps of database implementation
• Review the steps of database testing and evaluation
• Review the steps of database operation

E-R Model Verification
• Establishes
– Design reflects end user views of database
– Database transactions defined and modeled so
design supports related requirements
– Design meets output requirements
– Design supports required input screens and data
entry forms
– Design flexible to support future enhancements
• Verification identifies
– Central entity
– Each module and its components
– Each module transaction requirement

Inventory Management
Reporting Problems
• Generates three reports; one is inventory
movement report
– Inventory movements spread across different
entities
– Difficult to generate output and reduces
performance
• Item “quantity on hand” updated with different
inventory movements
– Purchase, withdraw, check-out, check-in, or
inventory adjustment
– Only withdrawals and check-outs represented in
model
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 5th Edition, Rob & Coronel

Inventory Management
Reporting Problems Solution
• Create new entity as common movement entry
point
• INV_TRANS created
– Standardizes inventory module interfaces
– Facilitates control and generation of required
outputs

Logical Design
• Translates conceptual model to format for
selected DBMS
• Sets stage for creating table structures, indexes,
and views
• Table structures can be created with CREATE
TABLE SQL commands
• Views created with CREATE VIEW SQL
Commands
• Indexes created with CREATE INDEX SQL
Commands
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 5th Edition, Rob & Coronel

8
Physical Design
• Defines specific storage or access methods
used by database
• Includes estimate of storage space
• Characteristics are function of DBMS and
operating systems

Implementation
• Database administrator (DBA)
– Controls database management function
– Defines standards and procedures required to
interact with the database
– Adopts appropriate plan
• Plan elements
– Definitions of processes and standards
– Chronology of required activities
• Database creation
• Loading and Conversion
– Documentation standards
– Responsibilities for continued development and
maintenance
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 5th Edition, Rob & Coronel

Testing and Evaluation
• Determine how well database meets goals
• Ongoing process
• Considerations
– Performance measures
– Security
– Backup and recovery procedures

Operation
• Provides support for daily operations
• Maintains operational procedures
• Database maintenance and evolution
– DBA performs technical and managerial duties to
ensure proper operation of database to support
organizational mission
