DataBase Project
Description
Students are introduced to the characteristics and features of relational databases using Microsoft
Access to create, build, and implement a relational database; import data from Excel, and create
information using multiple table queries with sorting/ordering and derived attributes.
Learning Objective(s)
Using the four steps of the relational database model, students design and build a database by
incorporating entity classes and primary keys, using an entity-relationship diagram to show the
relationship between entity classes, identifying attributes associated with each entity class,
creating the actual database based on imported Excel data, and running queries according to the
instructions provided on the database project document.
Project Narrative
This assignment introduces students to database design, building, and creation using Access. The
Access skill sets associated with this project include designing and building a relational database,
cardinality, and implementing the database using Excel data provided for the project.
Prerequisite Knowledge - Awareness of Microsoft Access as a personal database
management systems. Definition and purpose of a database management program. Ability
to enter text and data into cells. Insert and delete rows and columns. Ability to look at
simple pieces of data and perform operational functions associated with queries (i.e.,
Quantity*Price = Total Price).
Subsequent Application – Cardinality; entities; entity relationships (Primary/Foreign Keys);
attributes; implementing a database; and aggregate functions (sorting, grouping, joining,
deriving)
Requirements
For this project, you will be creating a database for the Cowboy Cookie Company. The database
will include information on customers, orders, and products. More information can be found here:
Cowboy Cookie Company Order Database.
Provide a database design with an Entity Relationship Diagram and an Access Database including
the following items: tables that match the E-R Diagram and Field Design (PowerPoint document);
create data entry forms to easily input records into your tables; include two of your own products,
two customer names (with one record being yours), and two orders; four queries using multiple
tables (instructions below); and four reports based on the queries. The data you will be using for
this project can be found here: (data).
Using this data, create four queries based on the criteria listed below. Create and name reports to
match queries (i.e. Order Date Report, Order Type Report, Product Report, and Total Batch Price
Report).

Product Query - Create a query that lists all products that start with the letter “O” or start
with the letter “B” and whose retail price is between $1.75 and $2.50. Include the product
ID, product name, batch size, and price. Create a report using this query sorted by product
name.
DataBase Project

Total Batch Price Query - Create a query that includes product ID, product name, batch size,
price (each) and calculate the price per batch with a 10% discount . Create a report using
this query sorted by product name.

Order Date Query - Create a query that lists all the customers who ordered the product
“Holiday Sugar Cookie” between February 1, 2016 and February 15, 2016. Include the
customer's first name, last name, order date, product name, quantity, and retail price.
Create a report using this query grouped by last name and sorted by order date.

Order Type Query - Create a query that lists all the customers who lived “Off campus” and
placed an order for the “Cowboy Cookie”. Include the customer's first name, last name,
email address, location, product name, and the order date. Create a report using this query
grouped by customer's last name and sorted by order date.
