Abstract

The need for a database system at Madison Christian School (MCS) is examined. An investigation of current processes identifies the need for stored data that is easy to access and easy to use. Currently paper data is stored in a file cabinet. It is not easy to manipulate, and reports must be generated by hand. MCS needed a database that a teacher with little computer skills could easily access and use while considering that an administrator would use the database for data manipulation and storage. Microsoft Access is used to develop the database as it is an easy-to-use interface that MCS has installed currently on their system. Future growth is taken into account, and a similar database is created in Oracle. Oracle was linked to Access as an example of how MCS could use it as a server-side application in the future.
