The database design for the project is based on the requirements of managing books. It consists of a single table to store book information.
The ERD for the database consists of a single entity:
[Book]
id (Primary Key)
title
isbn
author
genre
publication_date
description
file_path
The Book table stores information about books in the application.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | INT | Primary Key, Auto-increment |
| title | VARCHAR(255) | Title of the book |
| author | VARCHAR(255) | Author of the book |
| isbn | VARCHAR(20) | ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of the book |
| genre | VARCHAR(100) | Genre of the book |
| publication_date | DATE | Publication date of the book |
| description | TEXT | Description or summary of the book |
| file_path | VARCHAR(255) | Path to the book file |
There are no explicit relationships defined in the database design as it consists of a single table. However, the id field serves as the primary key for the Book table, allowing for unique identification of each book record.
No indexes are explicitly defined in the database design. However, the primary key (id) field is automatically indexed by most database systems to ensure efficient retrieval of records.
The database design adheres to the principles of normalization, with each column storing atomic values and avoiding redundancy.
