1. Problem Statement:
University Database Management System creates, manages and
performs all the activities related to the database of a given
university. The database consists of information about the
university, colleges, students, faculties, academic and research
programs. The main aim of this project is to manage the
database in such a way that information about academic and
research activities can be retrieved easily, efficiently and
accurately.
2. Project Description:
A university has different institutes affiliated with it. These
institutes have various programs that offer degrees in different
departments. Students and faculties of these institutes are
associated with different academic and research programs.
Student enrolls for a particular program in a particular
department. This program consists of various courses.
Experienced faculties teach these courses. Some of these faculty
members are permanent while some are visiting. These courses
have predefined course structure that includes lectures, projects,
assignments, quizzes and exams for which students have to
appear and are evaluated throughout the semester. Teaching
assistants and associates are appointed for various courses that
work under the guidance of the respective faculties teaching that
particular course.
As the institute follows unique project based approach student
takes various research projects apart from the academic projects
and are mentored by the faculties. Seminars, talks and
workshops are held for academic and research purposes.
Faculties are also associated with different research projects.
Research staff accompanies these faculties that consists of
students, teaching assistants and associates and other faculty
members if any. Different organizations and the university itself
fund these research projects. Such research projects have
defined time frame. Many papers are published for these
research projects. Successful projects are further applied for
patents.

4. Normalization of forms:
It may be possible that in database there are tables created
which has repetitive data and several anomalies, which can
cause inconsistency of data. Normalization is applied to solve
this problem. It helps in solving below listed points:
1. Removing Redundancy:
For example,
a. Funding table containsinformation only about the
funding organizations. It does not include the research
projects that are funded by these organizations.
Information, about which organization is funding which
project, is kept in a separate table. It is done so because
it may be possible that an organization may be funding
more than one research projects and keeping both these
columns in the same table would have resulted in
redundant data, so to avoid this problem normalization
is applied and tables are separated.
b. Department table contains information about the
departments of the institute. Program table contains
information regarding the programs offered in different
departments. Both of these tables are kept separate
because many departments have same programs being
offered and keeping them in the same table would have
resulted in redundant data. Thus, normalization is

applied and tables are separated and a table named
department_has_program is created which links both of
these tables and gives the required information.
2. Avoiding Null Values:
Faculty table contains information about the faculties.
Research_Topics table contains information about the
research topics that are currently being worked on or are
completed. These two table are kept separate because it
may be possible that some of the faculty members are not
working on any research projects and keeping both of
these in same table would have resulted in null values in
some of the entries. So to avoid this problem,
normalization is applied and tables are separated and a
table named Research_Projects_has_Faculty is created both
of above mentioned tables and gives information.
3. Update Anomali:
Courses table consists of information regarding the courses
that are offered. Offering_Semesters table contains
information about offering time of a particular semester. It
may happen that a course was offered in some different
semester earlier and presently it is being offered in some
another semester. Keeping this data in same table would
result in update anomali because while updating, past data
would be lost from the records because of the semester
change in the offereing of a particular course. So to avoid this
update anomaly, normalization is applied and a table named
Offerings_semester_has_courses is created which keeps
record of each and every course offering time.
4. Loss of data when deleting:
Structure_Course table contains information about the course
structure of a particular course. Topics table contains
information about all the topics taught. If both of these are
kept in one table and if assumption is made that a particular
topics was included in one of the course structure earlier and
removed now then it will lead to loss of record of that topic
from that table resulting in delete anomali, so to avoid that,
normalization is applied and a table named
Structure_Course_has_Topics is created which links above
mentioned tables so that no data is lost and required
information is retrieved.
