Problem Statement
Since the existing system is completely manual so it is really very difficult to maintain
and to keep a full record about the daily purchase of tickets. The information is not up to
date and manual system requires staff to maintain their records on the registers. It creates
many problems such as Black ticketing, duplication of data or information is also present
which creates an error.
Introduction
Database
A computer database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a
computer system. A database relies upon software to organize the storage of the data and
to enable a person or program to extract desired information. The term "database" refers
to the collection of related records, and the software should be referred to as the database
management system (DBMS). This is sometimes shortened to “database manager or
database system”.
Database Management System

A database management system (DBMS) is computer software designed for the purpose
of managing databases. Typical examples of DBMSs include Oracle, DB2, Microsoft
Access, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL. DBMSs are typically used by Database
administrators in the creation of Database systems. The DBMS accepts requests for data
from the application program and instructs the operating system to transfer the
appropriate data. When a DBMS is used, information systems can be changed much
more easily as the organization's information requirements change. New categories of
data can be added to the database without disruption to the existing system.
5
Microsoft Access
Microsoft Access is a relational database management system from Microsoft which
combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface
and software development tools. It is a member of the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
Access can use data stored in Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle. Relatively
unskilled programmers and non-programmer can use it to build simple applications. It
supports some object-oriented techniques but falls short of being a fully object-oriented
development tool. Access is used by small businesses, within departments of large
corporations for handling the creation and manipulation of data. Access can be used as a
database for basic web based applications hosted on Microsoft's Internet Information
Services and utilizing Microsoft Active Server Pages ASP.
Introduction to organization

PROPOSED SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The need is to computerized the ticketing system of Cinepax cinema. There are various
attributes and properties of the movies that help to maintain and manage records through
this software.
MOVIE’S ID
All the movies are assigned a unique code which helps in identifies the record of each
movie.
MOVIE’S NAME
It gives opportunity to the user to select the movie by recognizing through its name.
MOVIE’S LANGUAGE
It tells about the language of the movie.
MOVIE’S DURATION
It shows the duration of movie.
MOVIE’S SYNOPSIS AND CAST

It gives the customer an overview about the story and cast of the movie.
MOVIE’S DAY, DATE, TIME AND SCREEN

It tells about the day along with the time and screen on which the movie will be showed.
This helps in telling the customer about the timings of the movie shows.
TICKET’S PRICE
It tells about the price of ticket of the movie (identified by movie’s ID).
TICKET BOOK NUMBER (First and Last Ticket Number)
8
It describes the ticket book number assigned to that movie (identified by movie’s ID) and
also the start and end ticket number of that ticket book.
TICKETS SOLD
It tells the total number of the tickets being sold for a specific movie (identified by
movie’s ID).
OBJECTIVES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

The software is planned by keeping in mind all those necessities and provisions so that it
should not have a single thread of complexity in it.
The software that is projected is able to overcome all the flaws that are mentioned before
and will be helpful for further expansion.
EFFICIENCY
By computerizing the front desk it increases the efficiency of work like updating of the
data regularly maintenance of the data properly with all attributes of the movie.
SECURITY
Obviously with a computerized system, the data can be stored more properly. Also it will
make sure that there remain no chances of fraudulence in money matters.
TIME SAVING
By introducing the new technology we save our time like in file system we require more
time to update the data but in new system we just open the record and can make changes
or can update the data and also help to save time in dealing the customers.
ACCURACY
The computerized system will be accurate enough to provide minimum errors and to
perform any no of calculations. However facilities will be provided to remove the
problems which may be present in the system.
FLEXIBILITY
9
It provide flexibility as in file system there are large numbers of files and are difficult to
maintain or save but in new technology there is separate group or domain for each movie
to record data.
USER FRIENDLY
The system will be user friendly. The software will create a flexible and comfortable
environment and it leads to make everything more wholesome and beneficial.
RELIABILITY
Reliability is the ability of system to perform and maintain all functions in routine
circumstances as well as in unexpected circumstances so that it can work properly in any
sort of problem. The system has been made reliable enough to cope up with hard
situations.
PURPOSE
This section will define all system requirements for the “Computerized Ticketing
System”.
INTENDED AUDIENCE AND READING SUGGESTIONS

Components of Access Database

Main components used in Access Database are
• Tables
• Queries
• Forms
• Reports
Tables
A table is made up of rows and columns of cells that you can fill with text and graphics.
Tables are often used to organize and present information. A table is a collection of data
19
about a specific topic, such as products or suppliers. Using a separate table for each topic
means that you store that data only once. This results in a more efficient database and
fewer data-entry errors.
Queries
Query is a mean of finding all the records stored in a data source that fit a set of criteria
named by the user. Queries can contain operators, quotation marks, wildcard characters,
and parentheses to help focus your search.
Forms
A form is a type of a database object that is primarily used to enter or display data in a
database. You can also use a form as a switchboard that opens other forms and reports in
the database, or as a custom dialog box that accepts user input and carries out an action
based on the input.
Reports
Reports are used for printing information from database. A report can be combine data
from more then one table. Reports are designed by adding visual objects known as
controls to the design grid.

Conclusion
The testing of this system should prove that this system is perfect or the organizations to
do their work in a more appropriate form. There are many aspects of this computerized
system. The organization is now using this system and by the help of this system their
efficiency has been increased. This is also a time saving system which can do many
things automatically and in very short time, which were done manually by the users
before this system.
This system is formed in such a way that it will contain all the latest features. It is more
reliable than any other system available for data saving now days. In the future further
developments could also be done on it to make it more efficient.
