Database Project

Create a database product that can be used to solve a unique problem within your immediate environment/community. The task will be done in pairs. The pairs should be gender balanced.

Your database should;

• have at least two related tables
• at least four queries with some complex calculations applied
• a well designed switchboard and at least three forms
• some macros
• at least three well designed reports

As a pair you will present to the rest how the product works. The assessment rubric will be posted in Managebac.

N/B Any DBMS can be used for this project.
