Write a 700- to 1,050-word informal paper using Microsoft® Word in
which you address the following:
Accurately definethe terms "database system" and "relational database
architecture".
In your Learning Team next week, you will have a defined
application for a database that you will construct together, but this
week, think about what you personally could use a database for in
your personal life. Choose a subject from your work/home/hobby that
requires the keeping of multiple records; e.g., music collections, sales
records, inventory. You will not be creating this database in this
course, but will use the idea this week to practice the skills required to
take an idea into the planning of a database.
Completelydefine the objectives for the database application that
would provide a solution for your record keeping requirements.
List the data specifications (must include a minimum of three entities
with attributes).
List at least two constraints and assumptions for your solution.
Describe at least two basic database functions that a spreadsheet
cannot perform.
Accuratelyexplain why a relational database management system
would offer the most robust solution for your requirements.
Include two or three references.
Format your paper and citations using APA format.

DBM 380 Week 2 Learning Team Sparkle
Diamonds Project
DBM 380 Week 2 Learning Team Sparkle Diamonds Project
Start working on your Learning Team Database and Presentation
outlined above with delivery in Week Four. Begin by analyzing the
requirements provided. Identify the tables, fields, field attributes, and
table relationships required.
Build a 1-page Entity Relationship Diagram that models the required
tables and relationships using Microsoft® Visio®, Lucidchart, or
another software tool of your choice. The table design and
relationships must support the following functionality:
 Customers – Each customer is assigned a unique customer number
but may have multiple locations to ship to. The sales team needs to be
able to select the customer and the location for preparing sales orders.

 Inventory Table – The sales team will want to query the inventory
to find diamonds that meet the following specifications of their
customers:
 Cost – what SD has paid for the stone
 Price – what SD will sell the stone for
 Carat – weight
 Clarity – clarity scale for diamonds offered are IF, VVS1, VVS2,
VS1, VS2*
 Cut – cut scale for diamonds offered are Excellent, Very Good,
Good
 Color – color scale for diamond offered are D, E, F, G, H, I, J*
 Order Table – The sales team will want to prepare a sales order for
existing customers and sell only diamonds that are in inventory. The
DBMS must be designed such that customers can purchase multiple
stones on one sales order.
*Diamond Scale Reference*
 Clarity:
 IF- Internally Flawless
 VVS1 – Very, very slightly included (pavilion)
 VVS2 – Very, very slightly included (crown)
 VS1 – Very slightly included (under 10X magnification)
 VS2 – Very slightly included (to the naked eye)
 Color:
 D, E, F – Colorless – color between D, E, and F diamonds can be
detected only by a gemologist in side by side comparisons, and rarely
by the untrained eye
 G, H, I, J, K – Near Colorless – diamonds color rated by a
gemologist
