INTRODUCTION TO ORACLE 8.0

In this project ORACLE 8.0 and MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC are

being used as back end and front end respectively. The
combination of both 8.0 and visual basic makes project
interactive , thus helping the operator to use the application
program conveniently.

BACK END: Why I Used Oracle 8.0:

Oracle is back end tool, which connects well with

a front end like Visual Basic. I have used oracle 8.0 as back
end tool as Oracle 8 is an object relational database
management system (ORDBMS). It offers capability of both
relational and object oriented database systems. It acts as
an interface between the user and the database. Further, it
also checks for validation against the data entered by user.
The database server or back end is used to manage the
database tables optically among multiple clients who
concurrently request the server for the same data. Oracle
8.0 offers the following advantages as compares to other
back ends available.

1. Client Server Application: Different tables created in

oracle
do not get locked on until
the user deliberately attempts to do that . Data can be
shared by all users until there is no restriction on
access to database.

2. User Friendly: Package designed in oracle can be user

 friendly to extent that even a
layman can
operate computer.The tool provided by oracle are so
friendly
that a person with minimum skill in the field of
computer can
access them with ease.

3. Easier Programming : Oracle is software that is easy

not only
for user but also for
programmer . This
is because there is no need for any codes arranging
the icons in
oracle which is serious drawback for other software.

4. Faster Access to Data: Oracle access the data

faster than
FoxPro.

5. High Performance: Oracle maintains high

degree of overall
system performance by
implementing
database tasks in parallel which speed up querying,
tuning,
maintenance of the database.

6. Scalibility: Oracle supports a large number of

concurrent
users data executing a different types
of database
 application .operating on the same data. Also it
helps to add or
remove users without interrupting the other users.

7. An Rdbms Product: Oracle is one of the most

popular rdbms
product and is available
on many
platforms and can work for all popular operating
system .Also it
offers perfect security and integrity of data.

INTERACTIVE SQL
Interactive SQL is designed to create , access and
maintained all data
structure like tables and indexes etc.
What Is SQL Used For ?

Using SQL one can create and maintain data

manipulation objects
such as tables,views,sequences etc. These data
manipulation objects will be created or stored on server’s
hard disk drive , in a table space, to which user has been
assigned.

SQL STATEMENTS
In addition to creation of data manipulation objects. The
actual
manipulation of data within these objects is done using SQL.
The SQL
statements can be broadly categorized into three:
 DDL:-> The SQL statements that are used to create these
objects are
called DDL’s or Data Definition Language. These statements
are
commonly used by a database designer and database
administrator for
establishing database structures used by an application .

DML:->The SQL statements which are used to control

behavior ,security and permissions of the objects or parts of
database are called DCL or Data Control Language. It
defines activities that are not in the categories of those for
the DDL and DML such as granting privileges to the users
etc.It protects your database from a variety of threats.

DCL:->The SQL sentences used to manipulate data within

these
objects are called DML or Date Manipulation Language .
These
statements are used most often by application
developers.DML is a part
of SQL to be operated on data although most of DML
statements are
very easy to understand and resembles with ordinary
English language
sentences .

INTRODUCTION TO

MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC 6.0

In this project “SUNCITY AMUSEMENT PARK SYSTEM”

Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is used as a front end tool. Visual
basic
is not just a language. It is an integrated development
environment
in which you can develop, run, test, and debug your
applications.
With visual basic you can create many types of applications.

Visual Basic is the most powerful rapid

application
development tool in the world. It helps the programmer to
focus on
the problem as hand rather than technical intricacies of
programming in a window environment.

A lot commercial applications available today

are
written using visual basic. It provides a complete set of built
in
intelligent tools for creating windows application programs.

FEATURES OF VISUAL BASIC

Data Access :-> This feature allow user to create
databases, front end
Applications, and scalable server side
components for
most popular database formats including Microsoft SQL
server and
other enterprise level databases.

Active Xtm Technologies :-> This features allows user

to use the
functionality provided
by other
application such as Microsoft Word Processor ,Microsoft
excel
spreadsheet and other windows applications.

GUI Or Windows Environment :-> An application

developed in
visual basic
has the look and
feel of windows application development system.

Event Driven Programming Language:-> Visual

basic is event
Drive
n programming
language. By event driven programming language we mean
defining
what would happen.Event is always on what we work. An
action
recognized by form or control is called an event.

Internet capabilities make it easy to

provide access to
documents and applications across the internet or intranets
from within
your applications or to create internet server application.
Visual Basic comes in three Editions:
1.The visual basic learning Edition: It is the
introductory edition
that lets you
easily create windows applications.

2.The visual basic Professional Edition: It is meant

for computer
professionals
and introduces advanced features such as tools to develop
Activex and Internet controls.

3.The visual basic Enterprise Edition: It is the most

advanced
edition and is
aimed at programmers who build distributed applications in
a team environment. It includes all the features of the
professional edition, plus tools such as visual Source Safe.

VISUAL BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS :->

OBJECT:-> An object can be said to be a programmable

entity
containing both code and data .It is similar
as c++ objects class.

PROPERTIES:-> It consists of objects data settings and

its attributes.
It describes the object, their
appearance and
behavior. Every control has its own properties.
 EVENT:-> Any action recognized by a form or controls
called an
event. Events are triggers when some
aspect of object is
changed.

METHODS:-> A method in visual basic is predefined

action that
Operates on specific object.

DATA CONTROLS:-> Although form are basic building

Blocks, nothing much can be
done with
form. To make form more interactive an to make front end
of the
application a totally GUI , controls are added to the form.
Example:
objects, label buttons, text control button, command button
etc. The
following are the controls:->

Textbox control sometimes called edit field or edit

control display
information entered at design time entered by user or
assigned to the
control in code at runtime.

Label control is a graphical control you can use to display

text that
User can not change directly.

Frame control provide an identifiable grouping for

controls . You can
also use frame to subdivide a form functionally.

Command button is used to control to begin, interrupt or

end a
 process. When chosen a command button appear pushed
in and so is
called push button.

Checkbox control displays an x when selected x

disappears when it
is cleared. It is used to give True/False or Yes/No option.

Option button control displays an option that can be

turned on or
off.These controls are used in an option group to display
options
from which user selects only one.

Combo box control combines features of textbox and

list box
controls Users can enter information in text box portion or
select an
item from list box portion of control.

Listbox displays list of items from where user can select

one or
more.

Timer control can execute code at regular intervals by

causing at
timer event to occur. The timer control invisible to user is
useful for
background processing.

Datetime Picker control enables you to provide a

formatted date
field that allows easy date selection. In addition users can
select a date
from a dropdown calendar interface similar to Month view
Control.
 Tab Strip control is like the dividers in notebook or the
labels on a
group of file folders.

Status bar control provides a window at bottom of

parent form
through which an application display various kinds of
status data.

Tree View control displays a hierarchical list of node

objects. It is
typically used to display headings in a document.

Toolbar control contain a collection of button objects

used to create
a toolbar that is associated with an application.

Progress bar control shows the progress of lengthy

operation by
filling a rectangle with chunks from left to right.

Image List control contains collection of list image

object. Each
of which can be referred to by its index or key.

Shape control is a graphical control displayed as a

Rectangle ,
square , Oval, circle rounded rectangle or rounded
square.

Enter key is used to go to the next command or text

box. This key
is used to focus on next command button or text box for
working.

Microsoft flex grid (MSFlexGrid) MSFG control

display and
 operates on tabular data. It allows complete flexibility to
sort, merge
and format tables containing strings and pictures.

Scroll bar provide easy navigation through a long list

of items or a
large amount of information. They can also provide
analog
representation of current position. You can use scroll bar
as a input
device or a indicator of speed and quantity.

Visual Basic Integrated Development

Environment:

Visual basic integrated development environment is

that where
we do our programming .The IDE consists of menu bars, tool
bars,
Project explorer, properties window, form layout, the
window and
toolbox.

On starting visual basic , different windows appear

on screen .
The top of screen consists of main window consisting of
tool bar and
menus. At center of screen form designer is there.
 Others windows on opening screen are properties
windows,
the project explorer window, toolbox and form layout
window .On
double clicking the form with mouse, the code windows are
also
opened .This is the place where user will do most of
development. The
code as the name suggests is used for writing code.

The toolbox contains the objects and controls

which user will
add to form to create the user interface for user’s project.
Controls
like command buttons, text boxes, radio buttons, check
boxes are the
object provided by control components are also known as
OCX files.
In addition to form , each form has properties associated
with it.

VARIOUS TYPES OF FORMS ,COMPONENTS,

REFRENCES:

The Microsoft visual basic provide features to create

various types of
forms such as simple forms, dialog, option dialog, login
dialog, option
dialog, About dialog etc. which can be used for different
purposes in
any project.

TYPES OF FORMS:-> There are two types of forms

available in Visual Basic namely
normal form and MDI form (Multi Document Interface).
 Normal form can either exists independently or
can be a child form of MDI form .A form is a collection of all
loaded forms in application All the forms user adds to an
application are automatically added to form collection.

Visual basic also provide the facility to add or remove

various components form the existing project. The addition
or removal of any component will lead to addition or removal
of various controls in the toolbox.

Various types of Components are: Microsoft Calender

Control,
Microsoft ADO Data Control, Microsoft Data Grid Control,
Microsoft
Datalist control, Microsoft windows common control etc.

The References tab contains various types of libraries the

addition and removal of which can allow or avoid you to
add or remove various types of components from the
components.

The various types of references are: Microsoft ActiveX Data

objects
Recordset 2.1 library, Microsoft ActiveX Data objects
Recordset 2.5
Library.

ACTIVEX DATA OBJECT MODEL

The ActiveX data object model is very lean .It is designed to

enable programmer to get a set of records from the data
source as quickly as possible. Because speed and simplicity
is one of the key objectives of ADO.
The model is designed to enable you to create a record set
object without having to create and navigate numerous
others intervening objects along the way.

Special ADO properties: There are six properties of

ADO model

 Connection String
 Command text
 Command type
 Cursor locations
 Cursor type
 Lock type

Connection String : ADO model uses the connection

string
Property to indicate the OLE DB
provider to use to the data store, along with all the details
needed to complete the data connection.The typical
Connection string has two parts:

Provider=<provider name>;
Datasource = <source detail>;

Command Text :-> Command text property of ADO

model is
the property that hold the actual
data request query. The syntax of this data request depends
on the provider you are using.

DATA ENVIRONMENT AND REPORTS:

The data environment component lets you design a

connection to
 database and retrieve the desired records. The Data report
component
allows you to design reports and use them within your
applications.
Both components are based on visual database tools, and
don’t
require programming.

The visual IDE is made up of number of components:

1. Title Bar: The title bar of Microsoft visual basic window

displays
name of the program as Microsoft visual
basic[design].It
also display the name of the project which is currently
opened. In
title bar there are three buttons . these are minimize
button,
maximize button, and close button.

2. Menu Bar: The next line or bar of the vb window

consists of menu
bar. Vb menus are pulled down from menu
bar, located
across the top of the screen.The menu bar includes the
File , Edit ,
View , Project ,format , Debug , Run , Query, Tools etc.

3. Tool Box:-> Each vb application contains the objects

and controls
which user will add to form bar has a set
of tools that
are appropriate for a particular type of task.

4. Project Window:-> This window display the details

or the forms
present in the opened project.
5. Properties Window :-> This window contain the
details of
objects , data, Settings and
its attributes.
every control has its own property.

6. Form Designer:-> It appears at the center of the

screen.In the
form,Different control button can
be added to
make the form look attractive.

7. Form Layout:->In this layout of the form is defined.

8. Object browser:-> Everything in vb is an object. In

this all
information pertaining to objects
are displayed.

 INTRODUCTION TO ORACLE SERVER

Oracle products are based on the concept known as’

client/server technology. This concept involves segregating
the processing of the application between two systems. One
performs all activities related to the database (server) and
other performs activities that help the user to interact with
the application (client).
A client or front-end database
application also interacts with the database by requesting
and receiving information from the ‘database server’. It acts
as an interface between the user and the database. Further,
it also checks for validation against the data entered by user.
The database server or back end is used to manage the
database tables optically among multiple clients who
concurrently request the server for the same data. It also
enforces data integrity across all client application and
controls database access and other security requirements.
The oracle server provides the following features to get
effective and
efficient solutions:

1. Client / Server Environments: Oracle allows

processing to be split
of between the client
application programs and the database server ,the
bulk the database processing is done on the backend
i.e. Database server that typically has more computing
power and better access to data to enhance processing
capabilities.this also results in the reduction of the
network traffic.

2. Handles large databases and performs space

management: Oracle
supports the largest of databases potentially terabytes in
size. To make efficient use of expensive hardware
devices. It allows full control of space usage.

3. High performance: Oracle maintains high degree of

overall system
performance by implementing
database tasks in parallel which speed up querying,
Tuning ,Maintenance of the database.

4. Databases and Information management : A

database server is key
to solving
the problem of information management. In general a
server must reliably mange large amount of data in
multiuser environment so that many users can
concurrently access same data .All this must be
accomplished while delivering high performance .A
database server must also prevent unauthorized access
and provide efficient solutions for failure recovery.

5. Manageable security: To protect against

unauthorized database
access and use, oracle provide
fail safe security features to limit and monitor data access
.these features make it easy to manage even most
complex design for data access.

6. Distributed systems: For networked distributed

environments
,oracle combines the data
physically located on different computers into one logical
database that can be accessed by all network users.
Distributed systems have same degree of user
transperancy and data consistency as non distributed
systems ,yet receives the advantage of local database
management.

7. Portability: Oracle can be easily ported to work undet

different
operating systems. Like windows 95,
windows NT, Mac,Windows 2000 etc.This feature makes
the oracle one of the most widely used RDBMS. Oracle
allows the applications developed in it to be easily ported
to any operating system with little or no modification.

8. Connectibility: Oracle allows different types of

computers and
operating system to share information
across networks which promotes shareability.

9. Compatibility: Oracle software is compatible with all

the industry
standards and all the commonly
available operating systems.The application developed
are independent of the platform on which they are
developed or required little or no modifications.
 INTRODUCTION TO
AMUSEMENT PARKS

Amusement Parks is generic term used for collection of

rides and
other entertainment attractions assembled for purpose of
entertaining a large group of people . An amusement park is
more elaborate than a simple city park or playground,
usually providing attractions meant to cater to adults ,
teenagers and small children. A theme park is a type of
Amusement Park which has been built around one or more
themes. Today the terms amusement parks and theme parks
are used interchangeably.

MODERN AMUSEMENT PARKS:->

Modern Amusement Parks now run differently then
those of years past. Amusement Parks are usually owned
by a large corporate conglomerate which allows capital
investment unknown by the traditional family – owned
parks starting with Disneyland in 1950’s the park
experience became part of a larger package , reflected
in television show, movies, action figures and finally park
rides and costumed characters that make up the
“Theme” . These parks offer a world with no violence or
social problems. The thrills of theme park are often
obscured from the outside by high fences or barriers re-
enforcing the feeling of escape , they are kept clean and
new thrill rides are frequently added to keep people
coming back.

FUTURE OF AMUSEMENT PARKS:->

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT

SUNCITY AMUSEMENT
AND
WATER PARKS

Suncity Amusement Park , a major name in list of

amusement park in Amritsar, is oldest theme park in
amritsar. Suncity Amusement Park is housed in Amritsar
Batala Road. It was Inaugrated on 27 march 1997. It is the
most happening place in the city. Suncity has come a
long way and has created a niche for itself.

 Amusement Park
 Water Park
 Party Zone
 Bulk Tickets
AMUSEMENT PARK:-> Suncity is spread over an area
of 50000
Square yards of land It
houses 11 immensely popular rides in its premises, along
with beautiful water park spread over 10000 square yards of
land . Suncity Amusement Park is favourite of children
because of its exquisite roller coasters and water slides.
Suncity is quite a mini-Disneyland for the people of amritsar.
This park has joy rides for people of all ages. The large
range of swings and“jhoolas” and rides are available.

The rides here includes the popular

9. Thumak Thumak
10.Humpty Dumpty
11.Joy Train

Children love the ride Humpty Dumpty , Thumak Thumak

and Joy Train.

There is no specifies number of daily visitors to park.

The business is seasonal much depending on the season
and the climate and other related factors like school,
university examinations and their results , holidays ,
festivals. However on an average Suncity has around 100-
150 visitors per day. There is special arrangement for
kitty parties, schools and corporate sectors. Around 80
member team of staff maintained decorum of this park.
75% of amount of ticket is charged by entertainment
tax department and Re.1 out of ticket is given to
corporation tax.
 It has a lush green parks maintained by team of
gardeners and has its own security staff for maintaining
discipline etc. These parks and gardens are sure crowd
pullers because of their serene surroundings and
environment. Those of you , who love fun and frolic , should
not miss out the Amusement Park of Amritsar.

WATER PARK:-> On 27 march 2004 one of the most

places in
Amritsar made a quiet entrance
into Amritsar
hot spots. Water park has added new chapter of history
of Suncity . And in crossover from just one season to
another ,Water Park has created for itself an image of
most happening place in city today. This water park is
especially preferred by people to beat off the scorching
heat of summers.

Major attraction at water park:

 Waves pool:-> a wave pool , to cool you off in summer

heat.

 The Magic River:-> A long stretch of lazy

meandering
river with small
Overbridges with
curtains of water through which a person has to
pass .

light effects under which the
more adventurous
can dance to foot tapping music.The couples love to
dance
and romance in rain dance that are introduced
according to
the season.

Facilities at Water Park:->

A fully equipped store , where in swimming
costumes for males and females are available on rent.
Towels and other accessories like inflatables and floats
are also available on nominal charge. Lockers can be
rented at nominal charge against a Refundable Security
Deposit .There are separate washrooms, changing rooms
for ladies and gents.

Water park where in you can dance to your heart ‘s

content with rain falling on your heads. If you do not want to
get wet and still want to dance in rain raincoats are
available.You can dance your way through without getting
wet and still be in water.

Party Zone:-> Suncity offers water park in 10000

square yards of
 land one that has added a new chapter
in history of
it and in crossover from just season to another water
park has
created for itself image of the most happening place with
lot of green
plants all over park with river , hi wave, swimming pool ,
aqua dance
etc. which is really in the city today as party zone.

Secondly Suncity offers eating zones with

unique interiors
to give different colours and themes . It is given on
contract basis and is
maintained by garden green caterers. Suncity also
organize events for
general public , and school children by associating with

SYSTEM DEFINITION
The term System is derived from the Greek word
systema, which means an organized relationship among
functioning units or components. A system exists because
it is designed to achieve one or more objectives. There are
more than a hundred definitions of the word system, but
most seem to have a common thread that suggests:

A system is an orderly grouping of interdependent

components linked together according to a plan to
achieve a specific objective.

The word component may refer to physical parts (engines,

wings of aircraft , car), managerial steps (planning ,
organizing , directing and controlling), or a subsystem in a
multilevel structure. The components may be simple or
complex , basic or advanced. They may be a single
computer with a keyboard , memory and printer or a
series of intelligent terminals linked to a mainframe. In
either case , each component is part of total system and
has to do its share of work for the system to achieve the
intended goal.

The study of systems concepts ,then ,has three basic

implications:
 1. A system must be designed to achieve a predetermined
objective.

2. Interrelationships and inter dependence must exist

among the components.

3. The objectives of the organization as a whole have a

higher
priority than the objectives of its subsystems. For
example
computerizing personnel applications must conform
to the
organization’s policy on privacy, confidentiality, and
security as
well as making data available to the accounting
division on
request.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A SYSTEM
The System has some characteristics that are present in all
systems:
organization (order) ,interaction , interdependence,
integration, and a central objective.

Organization
Organization implies structure and order. It is the
arrangement of
components that helps to achieve objectives. In the design
of a business system, for example ,the hierarchical
relationships starting with president on top and leading
downward to the blue-collar workers represents the
organization structure. Such an arrangement portrays a
system-sub system relationship, defines the authority
structure , specifies the formal flow of communication and
formalizes the chain of command. Like a computer system is
designed around an input device , a central processing unit ,
an output device and one or more storage units. When linked
together they work as a whole system for producing
information.

Interaction

Interaction refers to the manner in which each component

functions with other components of the system . In an
organization, for example, purchasing must interact with
production ,advertising with sales, and payroll with
personnel .In a computer system ,the central processing
unit must interact with the input device to solve a
problem . In turn , the main memory holds programs and
data that the arithmetic unit uses for computation. The
interrelationship between these components enables the
computer to perform.

Interdependence
Interdependence means that parts of the organization or
computer system depend on one another. They are
coordinated and linked together according to a plan . One
subsystem depends on the input of another subsystem for
proper functioning; that is , the output of one subsystem is
the requires input for another subsystem. This
interdependence is crucial in systems work.
Integration
Integration refers to the holism of systems. Synthesis
follows analysis to achieve the central objective of the
organization. Integration is concerned with how a system is
tied together. It is more than sharing a physical part or
location. It means that parts of the systems work together
within the system even though each part performs a unique
function.

Central Objective
The last characteristic of a system is its central objective.
Objectives may be real or stated. Although a stated objective
may be the real objective, it is not uncommon for an
organization to state one objective and operate to achieve
another. The important point is that users must know the
central objective of a computer application early in the
analysis for a successful design and conversion.

TYPES OF SYSTEMS

Systems has been classified in different ways. Common

classifications are:
• Physical or abstract
• Open or closed
• Man-made information systems

Physical or Abstract Systems

Physical systems are tangible entities that may be static
or dynamic in operation. For example, the physical parts of
the computer center are the offices , desks, and chairs that
facilitate operation of the computer. They can be seen and
counted, they are static. In contrast ,a programmed
computer is a dynamic system. Data , programs, output and
applications change as the user’s demands or the priority of
the information requested changes.

Abstract systems are conceptual or nonphysical entities.

They may be as straightforward as formulas of relationships
among sets of variables or models- the abstract
conceptualization of physical situations.A model is a
representation of real or a planned system.The use of
models makes it easier for the analyst to visualize
relationships in the system under study. The objective is to
point out the significant elements and the key
interrelationships of a complex system.

Open or Closed Systems

An open system has many interfaces with its environment .
It performs action outside its boundaries . It receives input
and delivers output to the outside where as closed system is
isolated from environmental influences. For example – a
nuclear reactor system is an example of closed system.

Man-made Information System

Manmade information system may be design as a set of
devices procedures and operating system designed
around user based criteria to produce information and to
communicate it to user for planning control and performance
. In business system manmade information system are
classified into three categories:->
 Formal System
  Informal System
 Computer based Information system

Formal System

It is based on formal communication in the organization. It

is concerned with level of authority communication .Work
flow information is formally transferred in instruction or
reports from top management to concerned user in the
organization.

Informal Information System

It is an employ base system related problems. It also

passed information upward to indirect channels. It works
within the framework of the business and its stated policies.

Computer Based Information System

System depends upon computer for handling business

application system analysis relies on computers for problem
solving as it is a good source of information. The computer
has significant impact on the technique used by
management to operate a business.

Lower level management needs internal information

details to
meet day to day requirements relatively structure control
design. Higher
level management from whom the long range objective are
primary
concern, require summarized information from variety of
sources to
achieve goals.
 OBJECTIVES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

My project was designed keeping in view the certain

goals and objectives that we wish to achieve . Certain
features were added to this system that were not
present in original system in order to achieve these
objectives.

The main objectives are :->

1. To automate the process of recording transactions

2. To make system graphically more user friendly .

3. To make system easy to use.

4. Automatic filling of related information in the form by

entering one value.
5. To provide security to database and limit the access to
only authorized member.

6. To provide fast access to the information by searching

in user friendly manner.

7. To generate reports quickly according to requirements

of users.

Flaws In Existing System

Managing all the data with the help of paper will include a
lot of paper work . Earlier system manually add the records
of items which was cumbersome job . In this concerned
authority had to write down each and every record with
hand. Multiple entries has to be made of same record again
and again which is further a time consuming job.

1. Paper work is very voluminous and bulky.

2. When database gets extremely large it becomes

unmanageable.

3. There is no symmetry or order in way the records

or information is stored.
 4. Storing or entering all the minute details manually is a very
laborious task.

5. Data retrieval is very slow and sometimes becomes

tough.

6. Even if register or file is lost it can lead to numerous

problems.

7. The manual system requires lot of file work to be done

by staff.

8. Redundancy of data stored is very high in manual

system .As
large amount of data is stored in different registers
and files for
future references.

9. Calculations are done manually which is prone to error.

10. Setting up queries is not easy and is a slow process.

11. Existing system is not reliable and user friendly.

12. There is no provision for maintaining hard copies of reports.

13. Security of data is not maintained.

14. Registers are to be maintained regularly for all

business dealings
which is time consuming and tedious job.

15. Manual entry of records are more prone to error i.e.

by doing
things manually there is more chances of errors.
There can be
wrong entry of transaction which may prove harmful
for both
 client and firm.

As we can seen that the existing system has

lot of problems.
Almost all the work was done manually which take
time . More
manpower is required in manual record keeping.
Moreover retrieval
of information is also difficult .
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE
CYCLE

System Development , a process consisting of two major

steps of system analysis and design starts when
management or sometimes system development personnel
feel that new system or an improvement in existing system
is required . The system development life cycle is classically
thought of as a set of activities that analysts , designers and
users carry out to develop and implementation information
system. We isolate and sequence these life cycle activities
for learning purposes , but in real life they overlap and highly
interrelated. Therfore there can easily be overlap during any
phase of the cycle. The system development life cycle
consists of the following activities:

1. Recognition of Need
2. Feasibility Study
3. System Analysis
4. System Design
5. Implementation
6. Post Implementation and Maintenance
 System Analysis
• Planning Phase
 Recognition of Need
 Need for System
Change
 Feasibility study
Recognition Of Need :->

One must know what the problem is before it

can be solved. The basis for a candidate system is
recognition of a need for improving an information system or
a procedure . For example , a supervisor may want to
investigate the system flow in purchasing , or a bank
president has been getting complaints about the long lines in
the driven-in. This need leads to a preliminary survey or an
initial investigation to determine whether an alternative
system can solve the problem. It entails looking into the
duplication of effort , bottlenecks, inefficient existing
procedures or whether parts of the existing system would
be candidates for computerization.

If the problem is serious enough,

management may want to have an analyst look at it. Such
an assignment implies a commitment,
especially if the analyst is hired from the outside. In larger
environments,
where formal procedures are the norm, the analyst’s first
task is to prepare a statement specifying the scope and
objective of the problem. He/She then reviews it with the
user for accuracy .At this stage , only a rough “ball park”
estimate of the development cost of the project may be
reached . However an accurate cost of the next phase- the
feasibility study –can be produced.

Impetus for System Change

Ideas for change may also come from within the
organization- top management, the user , the analyst. As an
organization changes its operations or faces advances in
computer technology, someone within the organization may
feel the need to update existing applications or improve
procedures. The examples are:
 • An organization acquires another organization

• Two departments are doing essentially the same work

and each department head insists the other
department should be eliminated.

Serious problems in operations ,a high rate of lobour

turnover , labour intensive activities , and high reject
rates of finished goods also prompt top management
to initiate an investigation.

Feasibility Study
A feasibility study is a test of a system proposal according to
its work ability, impact on the organization , ability to meet
user needs and effective use of resources.

The objective of a feasibility study is not to solve the

problem but to
acquire a sense of its scope. During the study, the
problem
definition is crystallized and aspects of the problems to be
included in the system are determined. Consequently , costs
and
benefits are estimated with greater accuracy at this stage

The result of the feasibility study is formal proposal.

This is simply a report , a formal document detailing the
nature and scope of the
proposed solution. The proposal summarizes what is
known and what is going to be done. It consists of the
following:

1. Statement of the Problem:-> A carefully worded

statement of
 the problem
that led to
analysis.

2. Summary of Findings and

Recommendations:-> A list of
major findings
and recommendations of the study .It is ideal for the
user who
requires quick access to the results of the analysis of the
system
under study. Conclusions are stated ,followed by a list
of
recommendations and a justification for them.

3. Details of Findings:-> An outline of the methods

and
procedures undertaken by the
existing
system, followed by the objectives and procedures of
candidate
system. Included are discussions of output reports , file
structures
and costs and benefits of the candidate system.

4. Recommendations and Conclusions:-> Specific

recomme
ndations
regarding the candidate system including personnel
costs
assignments ,project schedules and target dates.

After the proposal is reviewed by management , it

becomes a formal
agreement that paves the way for actual design and
implementation.
 This is a crucial decision point in the life cycle . Changes in
the
proposal are made in writing ,depending on complexity ,
size and cost
of the project. It is simply commom sense to verify changes
before
committing the project to design.

According to the above mentioned aspects, the feasibility

study is
categorized into following types:-

1. Behavioral Feasibility: This is a most important

factor. It
checks for the behavior of the
employees of
“Suncity” towards the computer. My proposed system will
provide
various benefits to the employees and staff. They can get
the balance
sheet of their accounts in a printed way and keep it as a
record for future
references. Thus the time that the staff used to spend in the
account
system of Suncity has been reduced .

2. Social Feasibility : People are inherently resistant to

change and
computers have been known to
facilitate change. It
is important to study the social applications when a new
product or
system introduces. A social opposition can make a well-
developed
system a non-starter. It is made to estimate how strong the
reaction the
 user staff is likely to have towards the development of the
new system

3. Economic Feasibility : Our proposed system is

totally
economically feasible as the
installation of
computer system reduces the cost of manual work of
employees of
“Suncity”. It will reduce the chances of error that may occur
while
calculations. It will also reduce the time to enter the data.
My proposed
system will reduce the problems of inefficient storage of the
data in the
Suncity.

It will not take extra efforts to train the user staff their
working , staff is very much willing as they are themselves tired
of the tedious procedures of the existing system.
 Analysis Phase
• Analysis
• System Definition
• Existing System
• Proposed System
• Information Gathering

Analysis
Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations
performed by a system and their relationships within and
outside of the system. A key question is:

What must be done to solve the problem? One aspect of

analysis is defining the boundaries of the system and
determining whether or not a candidate system should
consider other related systems. During analysis ,data is
collected on available files ,decision points ,and transactions
handled by the present system . The tools used in analysis
are:

• Data flow diagrams

• Interviews
• On-site observations
• Questionnaires
 The interview is most commonly used tool in analysis. It
requires
special skills and sensivity to subjects being interviewed.
Training ,
experience and common sense are required for collection of
the
information needed to do the analysis. Once analysis is
completed
,the analyst has a firm understanding of what is to be done.
The next
step is to decide how the problem might be solved.

System Design

After the analysis the next step is to decide how the problem
might be
solved The most creative and challenging phase of the
system life cycle is System design. The term design
describes a final system and the process by which it is
developed. It refers to the technical specifications analogous
to engineer’s blueprints that will be applied in implementing
the candidate system . It also includes the construction of
programs and program testing .System design is a solution
that is how to approach the creation of a new System. There
are two phases of system design :->

• Preliminary Design
• Structure and Detailed Design

1. Preliminary or General Design:-> In general

design, the
Features of system are specified. The costs of
implementing these
features and benefits to be derived are estimated. If the
project is still
 considered to be feasible we move to the detailed design
stage.

2. Structure and Detailed Design :-> In general

design stage,
Computer oriented work begins in earnest. The design
phase is
transitioned from user oriented to a programmer
database personal.

The various steps are involved in system design.

First step is to determine how the output is to be

produced and in
what format. Samples of the output area also presented.

Second step is to design the input data and master files

(data base) to
meet the requirements of the proposed output. The
processing phase are handled through program construction
and testing ,including a list of the programs needed to meet
the system’s objectives and complete documentation.

Finally , details related to justification of the system and

an estimate of the Impact of the candidate system on the
user and the organization are documented and evaluated by
management as a step toward implementation.

In some firms, separate groups of programmers do the

programming
 Whereas other firms employ analyst-programmers who do
analysis and
design as well as code programs. Analysis and programming
are carried out by two separate persons. Operating
procedures and documentation must be completed.

Processing of the design

Processing of the design includes

 Logical Design
 Physical Design

1. Logical Design:-> The data flow show the logic control

of the
system. The outputs to be delivered
from system
the database used and the procedures depicting the flow
of the data ,
all in format that is understandable to the user. The
design covers the
following:

 Reviewing the Current Physical System:-> Its data , file

contents ,volumes and frequencies.

 Preparing Output Specification:-> This is to

determine the format , contents and frequencies of reports
including terminal specifications and location.

 Preparing Input Specification :-> This is a

format , contents and most of input.

 Preparing Edit ,Control and Security

Specification:-> Which includes specifying the back up
procedures and controls that ensure file identity .

 Specifying implementation plan

  Reviewing benefits, costs target dates and system
constraints.

After logical design there comes the turn of physical

design that tells
the programmer exactly what system must do.

2. Physical Design:-> This phase consists of the following

steps:

a. Design of physical system

i. Design the database
ii. Specify the input/output media
iii. Design physical information flow
through the
system and the physical design walks
through.

 Plan system implementation

• Prepare a conversion schedule
• Determine training procedure

 Revise the test and the implementation plan

and specify new hardware and software.

 Update benefits, costs and conversion date and

system constraints.

Implementation

The implementation phase is less creative than system

design. It is primarily concerned with user training, site
preparation, and file conversion. When the candidate system
is linked to terminals or remote sites, the telecommunication
network and tests of the network along with the system are
also included under implementation.

During the final testing user acceptance is

tested , followed by user training. Depending on the nature
of the system, extensive user training may be required.
Conversions usually take place at about the same time the
user is being trained.

In the extreme , the programmer is falsely

viewed as someone who ought to be isolated from other
aspects of system development programming is itself
design work. The initial parameters of the candidate
should be modified as a result of programming efforts .
Programming provides a “Reality test” for assumptions
made by the analyst. It is therefore a mistake to exclude
programmers from the initial system design.

Post Implementation and

Maintenance

After the implementation phase is completed and

the user staff is adjusted to the changes created by the
candidate system, evaluation and maintenance begin. Like
any system , there is an aging process that requires
periodic maintenance of hardware and software. If new
information is inconsistent with the design specifications,
then changes have to be made. Hardware also requires
periodic maintenance to keep in tune with design
specifications. The importance of maintenance is to continue
to bring the new system to standards.

User priorities, changes in organizational

requirements or environmental factors also call for system
enhancements. The change requires evaluation , program
modifications and further testing .

Proposed System

Due to the less interactiveness of the existing manual

system the need
was felt to switch over to the new system which would cover
all possible aspects of Suncity Amusement and Water Park
and would be based on an efficient package. Our software
project makes all these jobs on mouse click. The
operator in the system feels more comfortable as the files
are activated whenever the operator clicks any option.
Employees will have to just enter data. Proposed system
is expected to remove the problem of existing system and
provide value aided solution to problem. The proposed
system must be presented to the organization with some
indication performance keeping in view following factors:-

1. Time :-> Response , Access , Process

2. Accuracy :-> Frequency, Significance, Error correction

3. Reliability :-> Stability, Durability

4. Security :-> Legal access

5. Flexibility :-> Variability, Sensitivity

Proposed system results into following advantages:->

1. Fast research and retrieval of information.

2. Presentation of information in desired form.

3. Reliable information is maintained up to date.

4. The transactions that occur on a particular transaction

after a specification can also be worked out.

5. Proposed system is more user friendly than existing

system.

6. Ability to analyse the results quickly.

Proposed system generates more elaborate and

meaningful outputs.
The major points covered in this project are :->

1. Daily records of tickets are maintained. Reports can be

generated for the stored data.
 2. All the information of the employees are maintained
and reports can be generated

3. Canteen bill is generated and corresponding reports

can be generated for particular date.

4. The information of the incoming, outgoing material is

maintained and stored and reports can be generated
for particular date.

5. Duty chart of the employees are made on the monthly

basis and
corresponding report can be generated.

6. Income record of canteen , bands and costumesare

maintained on the daily basis and reports can be
generated for the stored data.

User can retrieve the above information as also perform

updation, deletion , searching operations by just clicking
on respective buttons. The
proposed project aims at removing all the loopholes and
drawbacks of the existing system.

System Study

System study involves the investigation of overall problems

to be solved as in my system study in “Suncity Amusement
and Water Park” the main problem investigated regarding
transaction relating to the database handling. A system
study involves overall flow and manipulation of data as in
our system data flows from one part to another. Data is also
manipulated in our system . It is based on handling all the
transaction relating to Suncity.
 I gathered a lot of information from there by asking the
general
manager of the Suncity to meet information requirements. It
includes
the following:

• How Suncity works?

• How system works and how data flow within the

system?

• How the registers are maintained to store the

database?

• What are the different transactions that staff has

to deal with?

• What are the different reports generated and how

are they prepared?

Information Gathering

Information about working of system should be gathered

so that the new and better system can be devised based on
findings of the present system. It is art as well as technique.
The approach and the manner in which the information is
gathered requires a person with sensitivity, skill and
common sense about following:

• Purpose of gathering information.

• What methods to use to gather information.

 • What kind of information is needed.

• From what sources to gather information.

1. Purpose of gathering information:-> There are many

reasons to gather information which can be defined as:

 To know overall working of organization by

interviewing the employees,staff members, owners
and clients. One gets to know the work culture of
the organization.

 To know how the decision making process is

carried out in the organization. What is the
hierarchy of decision making authority and how the
orders are given to the sub authorities.

 To know what kind of decisions are taken by the

organization and what are decision making tools
used.

 To know what are the informational needs of

various users and management.

2. Methods and Tools used:-> Information gathered should

be
accurate , latest and feasible to be processed. The
information can be
gathered through various tools:

 Interviews of the members.

 Questionnaires to be filled by employees, owners and

other staff members.
  Meeting with management and employees.

 Manual paper reports and records.

Information starts with interviewing the top level

management. An overview of the organization, available
information, and objectives to be met by the proposed
system are normally gathered from the top level
management.

The next step is to interview the middle level

management and the operational staff. At this level day-to-
day operational requirements and information required for
current use are gathered.

It should be remembered that operational staff at day-to-

day working level such as working level such as clerks, store-
keepers and foremen can make or break a system.

In my project I have used all the above tools and

management has been really cooperative with me to provide
me the necessary information.

3.What Kind of Information is Needed:-> The

information
is needed to know the work culture of the organization
.The
information is mostly about the organizational staff,
clients, working
of system and results of the system.

 Information about the firm

 Policies of the firm
  Structures of firm which specifies working
environment and processes of firm.
 objectives

 Information about working

 Information flow
 Work methods
 Procedures and schedules

4.Sources of Information:-> The information sources

specify as to from where the information about the firm is to
be gathered. There are two main types of sources:

External :-> These resources include the clients,

business catalogs
and competitors.

Internal :-> These sources include the manual

documents and
professional staff of the organization.

The other sources of information are:

1. User of the system
2. Forms and documents used in the
organization
3. Procedure manuals and rule books which
specify how various activities are carried out
in the organization.
4. Various reports used in the organization
5. Computer programs of the existing system.

The information should be obtained from all the above

sources. The
 consistency between them should be checked and then
they should be
summarized and consolidated.

Cost benefit Analysis:

It is necessary to place money values against benefit that
can be achieved. Cost benefit analysis is a tool to determine
the actual profit that we get from the automation of the
organization against the cost incurred in the computerization
process.In my case there is already availability of hardware
and much of the softwares. So the only expense that will be
incurred in that for oracle and visual basic 6.0 installation.
Thus comparing the cost with the benefits the result are that
it would be fruitful to have proposed system installed which
will remove the limitation of existing system.
 Epilogue

As no system design is ever perfect as communication

programs ,
programmers lack of knowledge or time constraints
create errors. A
perfect project is that in which there are minimum
number of key
punching. The number and nature of errors in new
design depends
on several factors. Some of the responsible factors are:-
>

 Communication between the user and the designer.

 The programmers ability to generate a code that

reflects
exactly the system specifications.

 The time frame for the design.

In my project entitled “Suncity Amusement park”. I have

tried my
best to cover each aspect carefully and accurately on
further
 analysis . The drawbacks of this system may show
themselves ,
which may further require modifications.

Conclusion

No program or system design is perfect, communication

between the user and design is always not complete or
clear or time is usually short. It results in errors . The
number and the nature of errors in a new design
depends on several factors.

 Communication between the user and designer.

 The time frame for the design.

 Personal prejudice on the part of user is

disclosing information .

 The programmer’s ability to generate code that

reflects exactly the system specification.
 In the system design entitled “Suncity Amusement Park” , I
have
tried my best to cover successfully and accurately all
the
requirements but due to shortage of time and lack of
experience
following drawbacks are there in my system:->

1. Failure such as hardware failure , power failure

may result
in unwanted results during execution .

2. Database security is not present in my system

that is , I
have not encrypted my data in the database .

There are other small errors that can be removed by

slight
modifications.

Control Measures

After system security risks have been evaluated. The

next step is to select the measures those are internal
and external to the facility. These measures are
generally classified under the following points:-

1. Safety from the unauthorized users.

2. Recovery in case of the crash due to power

failure are
hard disk crash.

3. Safety from errors and omissions.

 In the proposed system , proper care has been taken
of the first
data accesses that user may take to the system. Well
nothing can be said or done about discrashes or system
failures. These are unpredictable and inevitable . Errors and
omissions are minimum as user is prompted effectively by
the system if he/she commit any mistake.

System Security

The security is the crucial issue in the development of

the software as it contains the information which can be
valuable and sensitive for an organization . The software
should be such that it should prevent the data from the
unauthorized access so that unauthorized persons should
not be able to modify the content of the data. The data
is mostly confidential and only those users should be
able to access the data that are officially authorized to
use or access it.

As computers have become a part of everyday

life and more and more are concerned about the
security and integrity of the information residing in
these computers. While developing the system proper
measures should be taken for maintaining data integrity and
controlling security. This involves the use of various
features , programs , and procedures to protect the data
from the unauthorized access .
 In my project the transactions done daily are highly
confidential . As the firm does want to disclose the daily
sales and income details made. The exact figure of
accounts is not disclosed. So for this we should use
proper security measures otherwise the software will be
useless. So proper measures should be taken time to
time for maintaining integrity and security and
preventing the system from unauthorized access.

System security can be threatened due to the external as

well as internal cases. Some of these are:->

 Errors and omissions

 Fire
 Natural disasters
 External encroachments
 Dishonest and disgruntled employees

When huge amount of information is to be stored in one

database, sensitive data can be easily copied. The data can
be manipulated without any notice . Information can also be
entered directly into the computer without written record or
paper authorization and can be changed without trace. A
dishonest programmer can bypass control and authorize
his/her own transactions. So various control measures are
adapted to guarantee security:

 Identification
 Access control
 Audit control
 System integrity
 System Maintenance

Maintenance is necessary to eliminate errors in the system

during its working life and tune the system to do any
variations in its working environment. It has been seen that
there are always some errors found in the system that must
be noted and corrected. It also means the review of the
system from time to time. The review of the system is
done for:

 Knowing the full capabilities of the system.

 Knowing the required changes or the additional

requirements.

 Studying the performance

 If a major change to a system is needed , a new
project may
have to be set up to carry out the change. The new
project will
then proceed through all the above life cycle phases.

This project is still under the last stage where it is

implemented
in parallel run and is constantly tested. Certain
changes have still
to be made as I get to know more about the
requirements of firm
and the users.

Structural Analysis
Structured analysis is set of techniques and graphical tools
that are easily understandable to the users. It is way to focus
on function rather than implementation. The traditional
approach focuses on cost, benefits and feasibility analysis,
project management, hardware and software selection and
personnel considerations. In contrast, structures considers
tools for analysis. Some of the tools for analysis are :->

 Data Flow Diagrams

 Data Dictionary
 Structures Analysis
 Decision Tables
 Decision Trees

In my system I have used Data flow Diagrams as the tools

for analysis
 Data flow diagramming is technique of representing a
system at any
level of detail with graphic network of symbols showing data
flows ,
data stores , data processes , data sources and destination .

Graphical means that depict information flow and transform

that are
applies to the data as it flows from input to output. These
show
graphical analysis of a software system .
There are two types of DFD’s:-

Physical DFD: - The data flow diagram which represent

the model
of the current system, are called
physical DFD’s. These diagrams are drawn when the
analyst studies the current working system in detail.

Logical DFD: - The data flow diagram which represents

model of
the purpose system are known as
logical DFD’s. These are drawn from physical DFD’s.

Introduction
Data flow Diagram (abbreviated as DFD) was introduced
by De Marco (1978) and Gane and sarson (1979), and is
an important tool used by systems analysis. A data flow
diagram models a system by using external entities fron
which data flows to a process which transforms the data
and creates output data flows which goes to the other
processes or external entities or data stores.

The main merit of data flow diagram is that it can

provide an overview of what data a system would process,
 what transformations of data are done , what data are
stored and which stored data are used and where the
result flows. DFD’s are structured in such a way that
starting from a diagram which gives a broad overview at a
glance , they can be expanded to a hierarchy of diagrams
giving more details.

Symbols Used in DFD:

Four symbols are used in drawing data flow diagrams.

1. Circle:-> The circle is used to depict a process. Both

inputs and
outputs to a process are data flows. The term
bubble is
used instead of circle.

2. Line Arrow:->Data flow are also represented by a line

with an
arrow. The arrow shows the direction of
flow of data.
The name of the data appears next to the line.

3. Rectangle:->The rectangle is used for the external

entities that are
outside to the system.. Entities supplying
data are
 known as sources and those that consume it are the
sinks.

4. Parallel Lines:-> A data store is depicted by two parallel

lines.

These are the symbols used in DFD. Data flow can take
place between processes from a process to a store , from
store to a process , an external entity to a process, from
process to an external entity. Data flow can not take place
in two external entities.
 System Testing
Testing involves operations of the system or applications
under controlled conditions. It is process of executing the
program with the intent of finding the errors. The
validations applied to data are also checked. After
codifying the whole programs of system a test plan should
be developed and run on given set , a test plan should be
developed and run on a given set of test sata . The output
of the test run should match the expected results.

Need Of Testing:
a) Testing checks all the parts of the system and if
logically all the parts of system are working well then
system is considered to be successful .Testing is vital
to the success of system. So testing is essential to
debug the errors.
b) System should be tested for user friendliness before
final implementation.
 c) Testing leads to software reliability . Identifying and
removing faults , during testing can make the
software more reliable .This increase user
confidence.

Using test data following test run are carried out:-

1. Unit Test:-> When programs have been coded and
compiled
and brought to working conditions. They must be
individually
tested with the prepared test data. Any undesirable
happening
must be noted and debugged.

2. Black Box Testing:-> Testing not based on any

knowledge
of internal design and code.It is based on requirements
and
functional
.

3.White Box Testing:-> White box testing is based on

knowledge of internal log of an application code.

4. Incremental Integration Testing:-> Continuous

testing of an application as new functionality is added.

5. Integrated Testing:-> The next level of testing is often

called Integration testing. In this way tested modules are
combined into sub-systems, which are then tested. The goal here
is to see if the modules can be integrated properly, the emphasis
being on testing interfaces between modules. This activity can be
considered as testing the design, and hence the emphasis on
testing module interaction.

6. Functional Testing:-> Testing geared to functional

requirements.
 7. End to End Testing:-> The system is tested in its
complete environment that is close to the real world.
Such as
interaction with the database and using network
communication.

8. Sanity Testing:-> Testing for sometime to

determine the
software is performing well to be accepted for further
testing.

9. Regression Testing:-> Re-testing after fixes or

modifications of the software or its environment .
Automated
testing tools can be applied here.

10. Acceptance Testing:-> Acceptance testing is

performed
with realistic data of the client to demonstrate that the
software is working satisfactory. Testing here focus on
external behaviour of the system. Final testing based
on
specification of end user or customer.

11. Security Testing:-> To show how well the system

protects
itself against unauthorized internal or external access.

12. Usability Testing:-> The software is tested to

determine if it
is user friendly or not.
 When it is ensured that the system is running error free , the
users are called with their own actual data so that system
could be shown running as per their requirements.

SELECTION OF TEST CASES

For testing to be successful, proper selection of test cases is

essential. There
are two different approaches to selecting cases :-

1. Functional Testing
2. Structural Testing

In functional testing the software or the module to be tested is

treated as a
black box, and the test cases are decided based on the
specifications of the
system or the module. For this reason this type of testing is also
called “black
box testing”. The focus here is on testing the external behaviour
of the system.

In structural testing, the test cases are decided based on the logic
of the
module to be tested. A common approach here is to achieve some
type of
coverage of the statements in the code. One common coverage
criterion is
statement coverage, which requires that test cases be selected
so that together
they execute each statement exactly once.
 Preface

As a part of my course ,I have taken up the assigned topic of

automation of “Suncity Amusement and Water Park” in
Oracle/Visual Basic 6.0 as a major project. Working on this
project , an effort has been made to define the problem ,
study existing system and provide a better proposed system.

In this system Oracle has been taken as back end

which works on Windows 98 as on operating system. As I
have taken oracle as a back tool so SQL-Pus is an interface
between Oracle database and user. Hence all the commands
are written in SQL. Here Visual Basic 6.0 has been taken as
an Application Development tool and hence all the forms ,
menus and reports are made in same and data is entered ,
stored in SQL tables in oracle database.

After studying this project report, you will be able

to
understand How the computerization of the “SUNCITY
AMUSEMENT
Park “ is carried out . I have done my work with best of my
abilities and I
hope you will be satisfied with my work. I have put in my best
efforts in
this project.
How Proposed System Is better than
Existing System

1. Manpower Requirements:-> More man power is

required in case of manual record keeping system.
Separate staff is required to keep track of each
anomaly present in transaction records. But in Proposed
system all the work is done by computers itself so there
is no need of separate staff to be maintained. So Less
man power is required as compared to existing system.

2. Record Search:-> In existing system all the work is

done manually . paper files are very bulky and difficult
to manage. Huge files are to be maintained and stored
in special cupboards. So there is inconvenience while
searching for a particular file.
But in my system the search is done with
the help of
computer extra efforts are not to be put in maintaining
or storing
the files so the required data is searched with just a
click of
 mouse.

3. Errors:-> Manual entry of records makes them more

prone to
Errors . There can be wrong entry of transaction which
may prove harmful for both client and firm.
But in my system errors are virtually
eliminated as the computer do not make any errors
unless hacked or due to the inefficient programming
skills.

4. Data Redundancy:-> It is very difficult to controlin

manual
System. As human memory is not capable of
remembering each and every record so there can be
duplication of data.Also same information is to be
stored in different files.
But in new approach data redundancy is
minimized to a very high degree. A separate table is
maintained so that redundancy is eliminated . Also
tables are connected and database is so designed that
any changes at one place will be reflected at the other
place also.

5. Cost:-> The large number of labourers are required to

keep
records of various transactions is a costly affair.
Initial cost of computer system may be
large but in
long run it proves to be cost effective as it may required
only one
person to replace the job of number of persons.

6. Retrieval of Information:-> The records need to be

sorted in any order and manual sorting is time
consuming process. Due to the huma inefficiency if
large records are to be searched then problem occurs.
 While on the other side computerized
system that I
have proposed will take only fractions of seconds to
retrieve any
information. As no pencil work is involved in this so
retrieval cost
is reduced.

7. Retrieval of Reports:-> Generation of reports is nery

difficult and lengthy procedure. If the user requirements
change then the reports have to be designed from the
starting that is very cumbersome.
Retrieval of reports according to the
requirements of user is very easy with the use of
computers as the generation of reports is quite flexible.

8. Recovery of Information:-> Acoount books are

maintained which are subjected to wear and tear and
their back up is cumbersome task. If files are
manipulated then thereis no scope for their recovery.
To solve the problem found in the above
system we have hard disk that can store a large
amount of data. Floppy disk and cd’s are used for back
up hence recovery is very easy in this case.
Hardware And Software
Requirements
The following are the hardware and software requirements
which should be met for developing and installing the
software:

Hardware Requirements:

Processor: Proceesor compatible with Pentium-2 or above

Operating System: Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows

2000 or
any latest version etc.

RAM: 32 MB or above

Hard Disk: For Typical installation 10 GB

Printer: Inkjet 600

Monitor and Floppy Disk: VGA and 1.44 MB

Speed: 1.33 MHz or above

Software Requirements:
Oracle 8.0

Visual Basic 6.0

Form Design
The actual design of database start with designing of form. After this we
start with output design i.e. Report Generation

Forms are used to input data and view the adapt stored in the
database. Form application presents data in online format consisting of
series of fields laid down in one or more windows. Forms provide a way
to feed and change information. A simple form relates to a record and a
record is a series of data fields. An application may use many forms and
the form may include many records. The records can be managed using
tools in a form such as insert, delete, update and search etc.

Advantages of using Forms:

• Build client-server application

• Event processing with methods.

• Interaction with other methods.

• Integration with other tools and buttons.
