  • Database Systems Project Ideas

Hello everyone, I have a project for my database systems class where I will have to find an organization in Lebanon that still does not use any database to manage it's operations and accounting. What I will have to do is talk to them about the requirements, analyze, do system analysis with all the required diagrams(such as ER and enterprise diagrams) then implement the database system after I formulate a structure and design it completely, after building the database I will have to write a program to connect and manipulate data in that database so that users can manipulate the data easily(access, retrieve, search, create, delete, insert), of course depending on the business function and what is required by the organization.

The problem here is that I can't think of any organization that still does not use a DB to manage it's information, if you know about such an organization that is willing to move it's information management to database and automation instead of heavy paper work please mention it, thank you very much for your help :)
lol that's actually what I planned to do for my graduation project! Actually, I haven't choosed yet, it's either building some website that has a custom built shopping cart with a CMS system OR build a DBMS system for my relative who owns a shop for selling radiators and related stuff. Currently, my relative uses Microsoft Word to run his business (which as you guessed: INEFFICIENT). So my suggestion is find some small/medium sized business and ask whether they already have a DBMS or not yet... Good luck :)
Think of something you personally need. Requirement analysis could be more useful.
You can recreate an issue tracking system for example.
Project management databases for a company.
Document management.
There's also ability to implement something that can be used country-wide, like a pharmaceuticals database management.
Just make sure you can readily deploy it and invest in it. You'll feel much more involved with the project and it will do you well after you actually finish it.
Those are some nice ideas arithma! But I believe it's much easier to find a real-world shop/firm and analyze what they already do (imports, exports, stocks, pricing... etc) and then do your system around it, even if they already have a working system. Tell them you're doing it part of a university project and if they're nice enough they wouldn't mind it.
