5. Database Design

5.1. Scope

5.1.1. Identification

This chapter details the Database Design of the ‘OMNIVISION’. This document
describes the standards to be used when designing and developing the database.
This design is based on the 'Software Requirements Specifications (SRS)' of the
‘OMNIVISION’.
A Database is a structure that can store information about multiple types of things
(or entities), the characteristics (or attributes) of those entities, and the relationships
among the entities. It also contains data types for attributes and indexes.
Database Design is the process of determining an appropriate database structure,
i.e. deciding on the appropriate tables, attributes and relationships, to satisfy a given
set of requirements.

Title: Database Design Document (DBDD) for ‘OMNIVISION’.

5.1.2. DBDD Overview

Requirement Management involves set of activities, which includes collecting,

analysis and documenting all technical and non-technical requirements of the
‘OMNIVISION’. This will be used for initial estimation and planning to ensure that
all the requirements of the ‘OMNIVISION’ have been addressed and met.
Functional Requirements are based on the functionalities detailed in the
OMNIVISION’s Models and process documents provided by the client. Additional
functionalities shall be added based on the system requirements discussion with the
client.
The Software Requirement System will touch all the department’s functional
requirements.
DBDD explains all database tables, require for the design of the Online Book
Shopping System.

5.1.2.1. Purpose

The purpose of this document is to:

 Provide detail database design description of the ‘OMNIVISION’ Software.

 Ensure that the design fulfills the relevant requirements of ‘OMNIVISION’.

 Ensure that the design fulfills the relevant architecture of ‘OMNIVISION’.

 Describe the standards to be used when designing and developing the

5.3.1. Data type and Description

Some of the data types are:

Data types Description

NUMBER Represents Integer values that can be stored in 4 bytes. The range
of values is –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
TEXT Stores variable-length strings of Unicode characters. The main
difference between the VARCHAR and the NVARCHAR data
types is that each NVARCHAR character is stored in 2 bytes,
while each VARCHAR character uses 1 byte of storage space. The
maximum number of characters in a column of the NVARCHAR
data type is 4000.
DATE/TIME The DATE/TIME data type specifies a date and time, with each
value being stored as an Integer value in 4 bytes. A value of
DATE/TIME is stored Internally as two separate numeric values.
