Unit 2 IP: Database Design and Data Modeling
Description – Add to Unit 1 IP see attached outlined – This is Week 2 IP
Deliverable Length: Word document of 4–5 pages (excluding references and cover page)
The retail store has provided you with a list of some of the business rules that they use to conduct business on a daily basis. The company has also provided you with the subjects of interest to them, namely those things that the company wants to track in the process of taking orders from their customers. What can be done to effectively document the relational database system solution that you are proposing to the retail store?
The project deliverables are as follows:
- Subjects of Interest (proposed entities)
- Customers
- Orders
- Products
- Add a minimum of 3 of your own subjects of interest based on your retail store.
- Business Rules
- Each product is assigned to a maximum of 1 category.
- A person who has placed at least 1 order is a customer.
- All products have a minimum reorder level.
- Add a minimum of 3 of your own business rules based on your retail store.
- Entity–Relationship Model (4–5 pages)
- Include a list of the business rules that will be enforced by the proposed database system.
- Include a list or table of the entities, attributes (including data types), relationships, and cardinality constraints.
- Include an entity–relationship (E–R) diagram that uses crow’s foot notation and graphically depicts the entities, attributes (including data types), and relationships (including degree and cardinality constraints).
- Verify that the data design that is depicted in the E–R diagram adheres to a minimum of third normal form (3NF), and if necessary, provide documentation and justification for the use of a higher level of normal form.
- Provide your analysis as to how this part of the project fulfills the mission and 1 or more goals of the case study organization.
- Note: Use Microsoft Visio or equivalent to create the E–R diagram. You will embed the diagram in the Word document and also provide it as an attachment.
- All sources should be cited both in-text and in References using APA format.
- Name the document "yourname_CS660_IP2.doc."

interest in being able to purchase the retail store’s products electronically. Currently, the retail store has a
simple Web site, but it is not clear that the system can support dynamic interaction on the Web site or online
purchases. The main database system that is used in the physical store has not been working correctly,
however, and this is an issue. The retail store wants to be able to eventually integrate an online database
system with the current order entry system that is used to support sales made in the local store. The retail store
also needs the database system to enforce the rules that have been established for their business practices.
What can be done to support the goals and objectives for meeting the needs of their customers?
Review these examples to help you with this assignment.
It is assumed that Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition (with management tools) was chosen as the database
platform. It can be downloaded for free at this Web site.
You have been asked to develop a solution in the form of a Database System Development Plan for your retail
store using the following format:
