Database

Advisor: Walt Turner
Overview:
The McDowell County Rescue Squad has been an organization since
1959. The organization has 38 volunteer members expect for one full
time member. To help promote McDowell County Rescue Squad and give
member?s access to the squad information, they have decided to have
a web page built. Also, until now, the tracking of the data was done
manually, including monitoring rescue calls, members call ist and
members educational classes. I estimated that they could possibly
save up to 100 labor hours by me volunteering my time on the
project. Creating a database that would facilitate tracking this
data, and producing needed information from that database. I agreed
to take on the project because one of my career goals is to learn
how to develop a database. For which I can use existing database
tools to help small businesses, not necessarily non-profits, gain
the benefits of using databases
Process:
The software I plan to use in the creation of these web pages and
database includes HTML, CSS, ASP, SQL, Java-Script, and 3-4 months
to build web page and database and test system. The web page will be
created to display information, create functional and url links, for
this I plan to use HTML,CSS and Java-Script. The common database
functions in the maintenance programs include add, delete, update,
and edit support functions along with the ability to display select
records by filtering and sorting the database, such as members login
page, for these events I will usevb_script along with Microsoft
Access.
Conclusion:
This application will be implemented in the following months of my
graduation. I have learned a great deal about dealing with clients,
making requirements, setting a schedule and learned how to adapt
that schedule to work with the client. |
