You need to build a working database that does real work—organising, searching, and displaying data in useful ways. The database must be well-designed with good data structure, use smart techniques to handle the data, and consider real-world impacts like privacy and accessibility. Your job is to create something that actually serves its purpose for the people who'll use it.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Design a proper database structure with multiple related tables or nodes that logically organise your data
- ·Use complex queries to insert, update, delete, or retrieve data in ways that serve your purpose
- ·Create displays of your data (reports, dashboards, web pages, or interfaces) that pull information from multiple parts of your database
- ·Test your database thoroughly to check data is correct, reliable, and secure—and use what you learn to improve it
- ·Think through real-world implications like privacy, accessibility, security, user needs, and whether your solution actually works for its intended users
You design a database with multiple tables, create queries to modify and retrieve data, present the data in a useful format, test it, and consider at least one real-world implication.
