CMSC 508 – Database Theory - Phase I: P Solved

The objective of the first phase of the final project is to design a database that contributes to a solution to a real-world problem selected by your student team. 

Teams are composed of three members unless explicitly allowed by the instructor. 

Students may choose a problem related to their own personal interests and background if you like. **All project proposals MUST HAVE my approval**. Some examples may be online bike store management, DNA database sequencing, music/movies rating system, sports/players database, collaborative networks, etc.

The main aim is designing a database that satisfies the information and functional requisites extracted from the analysis of the problem statement, in order to demonstrate your expertise and proficiency on the use of database design methodologies to create an accurate and faithful database. The design must reflect all expected information, scenarios, and functionality.
