This Project deals with Placement Experience Database System. This system is developed for
placement related activities such as displaying the companies in which the student has been recruited.
In today’s modern world we are seeing that everything is going digital.SO we developed a website
where the students can login or signup in our website to view their current status like for which
all the companies the student has applied for, what are the suggestions given by the company to the
student, does the student need to submit the project or not, how much offers does the student currently
has etc.
Thus, by visiting our website the student can keep a track of the companies in which he has applied
and can view their status of a particular company.

Introduction

1.1 DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES

The essential feature of database technology is that it provides an internal representation (model) of
the external world of interest. Examples are, the representation of a particular date/time/flight/aircraft
in an airline reservation or of the item code/item description/quantity on hand/reorder level/reorder
quantity in a stock control system. The technology involved is concerned primarily with maintaining
the internal representation consistent with external reality; this involves the results of extensive RD
over the past 30 years in areas such as user requirements analysis, data modelling, process modelling,
data integrity, concurrency, transactions, file organisation, indexing, rollback and recovery, persistent
programming, object-orientation, logic programming, deductive database systems, active database
systems... and in all these (and other) areas there remains much more to be done. The essential point
is that database technology is a CORE TECHNOLOGY which has links to:

• Information management / processing

• Data analysis / statistics

• Data visualization / presentation

• Multimedia and hypermedia

• Office and document systems

• Business processes, workflow, CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work)

Relational DBMS is the modern base technology for many business applications. It offers flexibility
and easy-to-use tools at the expense of ultimate performance. More recently relational systems

Department of CSE(Data Science) 1

j
College Record Management System DBMS Lab - Mini Project

have started extending their facilities in directions like information retrieval, object orientation and
deductive/active systems which lead to the so-called ’Extended Relational Systems’.
Information Retrieval Systems began with handling library catalogues and then extended to full free-
text by utilizing inverted index technology with a lexicon or thesaurus. Modern systems utilize some
KBS (knowledge-based systems) techniques to improve the retrieval. Object-Oriented DBMS started
for engineering applications in which objects are complex, have versions and need to be treated
as a complete entity. OODBMSs share many of the OOPL features such as identity, inheritance, late
binding, overloading and overriding. OODBMSs have found favors in engineering and office systems
but haven’t been successful yet in traditional application areas. Deductive / Active DBMS has evolved
over the last 20 years and combines logic programming technology with database technology. This allows
the database itself to react to the external events and also to maintain its integrity dynamically with
respect to the real world.

1.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF DATABASE APPROACH

Traditional form included organizing the data in file format. DBMS was a new concept then, and all
kinds of research was done to make it overcome the deficiencies in traditional style of data
management. A modern DBMS has the following characteristics

• Real-world entity A modern DBMS is more realistic and uses real-world entities to design
its architecture. It uses behavior and attribute too. For example, a school database may use
students as an entity and their age as an attribute.

• Relation-based tables DBMS allows entities and relations to form tables. A user can understand the
architecture of a database by just looking at the table names.

• Isolation of data and application A database system is entirely different than its data. A database
is an active entity, whereas data is said to be passive, on which the database works and organizes.
DBMS also stores metadata, which is data about data, to ease its own process.

• Less redundancy DBMS follows the rules of normalization, which splits a relation when any of
its attributes has redundancy in its values. Normalization is a mathematically rich and scientific
process that will reduces the data redundancy

• Consistency: Consistency is a state where every relation in a database remains consistent. There
exists methods and techniques, that can detect an attempt of leaving database in an inconsistent

Department of CSE(Data Science) 2

j
College Record Management System DBMS Lab - Mini Project

state. DBMS can provide greater consistency as compared to earlier forms of data storing
applications like file-processing systems.

• Query Language DBMS is equipped with query language, which makes it more efficient to
retrieve and manipulate data. A user can apply as many and the filtering options as required to
retrieve a set of data. Traditionally it was not possible where file-processing system was used

• ACID Properties DBMS follows the concepts of Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and
Durability (normally shortened as ACID). These concepts are applied on transactions, which
manipulate data in a database. ACID properties help the database to stay healthy in multi-
transactional environments and also in case of failure.

• Security Features like multiple views offer security to certain extent when users are unable to
access the data of other users and departments. DBMS offers methods to impose constraints
while entering data into the database and retrieving the same at a later stage. DBMS offers many
different levels of security features, which enables multiple users to have different viewswith
different features. For example, a user in the Sales department cannot see the data that belongs
to the Purchase department. It can also be helpful in deciding how much data of the Sales
department should be displayed to the user. Since a DBMS is not saved on the disk as traditional
file systems, it is very hard for miscreants to break the code.

• Multiuser and Concurrent Access DBMS supports multi-user environment and allows them to
access and manipulate data in parallel. Though there are restrictions on transactions when users
attempt to handle the same data item, but users are always unaware of them.

1.3 APPLICATIONS OF DBMS

Applications of Database Management Systems:

• Telecom: There is a database to keeps track of the information regarding the calls made,
network usage, customer details etc. Without the database system it is hard to maintain such
huge amounts of data which gets updated every millisecond.

• Industry: Whether it is a manufacturing unit, a warehouse or a distribution center, each one

needs a database to keep the records of the ins and outs. For example, a distribution center
should keep a track of the product units that were supplied to the center as well as the products
that got delivered from the distribution center on each day; this is where DBMS comes into
picture

• Banking System: For storing information regarding a customer, keeping a track of his/her day-to-
day credit and debit transactions, generating bank statements etc. is done with through Database
management systems.

• Education sector: Database systems are frequently used in schools and colleges to store and
retrieve the data regarding the student, staff details, course details, exam details, payroll data,
attendance details, fees detail etc. There is lots of inter-related data that needs to be stored and
retrieved in an efficient manner.

• Online shopping: You must be aware of the online shopping websites such as Amazon, Flip kart etc.
These sites store the product information, your addresses and preferences, credit details and
provide you the relevant list of products based on your query. All this involves a Database
management system.

1.4 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION/STATEMENT

✓ Develop a Department Record Management System to efficiently manage and organize various
departmental records within an organization. The system should provide a centralized platform
for storing, accessing, and updating records, enhancing overall workflow efficiency and data
management practices. Key features should include user authentication, record categorization,
search functionality, version control, and accessibility controls to ensure data security and
integrity. The system should be user-friendly, scalable, and customizable to meet the specific
needs of different departments within the organization

2.3 Functional Requirements

2.3.1 Major Entities

2.3.2 End User Requirements

2.3.3 HTML

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and
web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript it forms a triad of cornerstone
technologies for the World Wide Web. Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server
or from a local storage and render them to multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of
a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document. HTML

Department of CSE(Data Science) 5

College Record Management System DBMS Lab - Mini Project

elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML constructs, images and other objects
like interactive forms can be embedded into the rendered page. It provides a way to create structured
documents by denoting structural semantics for the text like headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes
and other items. HTML elements are delimited by tags that are written within angle brackets. Tags
such as img tag and input tag introduce content into the page directly. Other tags such as ¡p¿...¡/p¿
surround and provide information about document text and may include other tags as sub-elements.
Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to interpret the content of the page. HTML can
also embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript which affect the behavior and
content of web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content.

2.3.4 CSS

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language which is used for describing the presentation
of a document written in markup language. Although most often its used to set the visual style
of web pages and user interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to
any XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL, and is also applicable to rendering in
speech, or on other media. Along with HTML and JavaScript, CSS is a cornerstone technology used
by most websites to create visually engaging webpages, user interfaces for web applications, and user
interfaces for many mobile applications. CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of
presentation and content, including aspects such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can
improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation
characteristics, enable multiple HTML pages to share the formatting by specifying the relevant CSS
in a separate .CSS file, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.

2.3.5 Express Js, React, Node Js

Express.js, Node.js, and React are three popular technologies in the web development ecosystem.
Node.js is a runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code server-side, enabling
the creation of scalable and high-performance network applications. Express.js is a web application
framework built on top of Node.js, providing a robust set of features for building web applications
and APIs with ease. It simplifies the process of handling HTTP requests, routing, middleware
integration, and more. React, on the other hand, is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It
enables developers to create dynamic and interactive UI components, facilitating the development of
single-page applications (SPAs) with a component-based architecture. Reacts declarative and
efficient approach to building UIs, along with its virtual DOM, makes it a popular choice for frontend

development, often used in conjunction with Express.js and Node.js to build full-stack web
applications.

2.3.6 MySQL

MySQL is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). MySQL server can manage many
databases at the same time. In fact, many people might have different databases managed by a single
MySQL server. Each database consists of a structure to hold onto the data itself. A data-base can exist
without data, only a structure, be totally empty, twiddling its thumbs and waiting for data to bestored
in it. Data in a database is stored in one or more tables. You must create the data-base and the tables
before you can add any data to the database. First you create the empty database. Then you add empty
tables to the database. Database tables are organized in rows and columns. Each row represents an
entity in the database, such as a customer, a book, or a project. Each column contains an item of
information about the entity, such as a customer name, a book name, or a project start date.The place
where a particular row and column intersect, the individual cell of the table, is called a field. Tables
in databases can be related. Often a row in one table is related to several rows in anothertable. For
instance, you might have a database containing data about books you own. You would havea book table
and an author table. One row in the author table might contain information about the author of several
books in the book table. When tables are related, you include a column in one tableto hold data that
matches data in the column of another table. MySQL, the most popular Open Source

SQL database management system, is developed, distributed, and supported by MySQL AB. MySQL
AB is a commercial company, founded by the MySQL developers. It is a second-generation Open-
Source company that unites Open Restaurant Management System Source values and methodology
with a successful business model.

• MySQL software is Open Source. Open-Source means that it is possible for anyone to use and
modify the software. Anybody can download the MySQL software from the Internet and use it
without paying anything. If you wish, you may study the source code and change it to suit your
needs. The MySQL software uses the GPL (GNU General Public License), to define what you
may and may not do with the software in different situations. The MySQL Database Server is
very fast, reliable, and easy to use.

• MySQL can be easily integrated with popular programming languages and frameworks,
making it a preferred choice for web development projects.

Department of CSE(Data Science) 7

College Record Management System DBMS Lab - Mini Project

• MySQL is a database management system. A database is a structured collection of data. It can

be anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amount of information
in a corporate network. To add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you
need a database management system such as MySQL Server. Since computers are very good at
handling large amounts of data, database management systems play a central role in computing,
as standalone utilities, or as parts of other applications.

• MySQL is a relational database management system. A relational database stores data in

separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. This adds speed and
flexibility. The SQL part of “MySQL” stands for “Structured Query Language.” SQL is the
most common standardized language used to access databases and is defined by the ANSI/ISO
SQL Standard. The SQL standard has been evolving since 1986 and several versions exist.
“SQL-92” refers to the standard released in 1992, “SQL:1999” refers to the standard released
in 1999, and “SQL:2003” refers to the current version of the standard. We use the phrase “the
SQL standard” to refer to the current version of the SQL Standard.

• MySQL software is Open Source. Open-Source means that it is possible for anyone to use and
modify the software. Anybody can download the MySQL software from the Internet and use it
without paying anything. If you wish, you may study the source code and change it to suit your
needs. The MySQL software uses the GPL (GNU General Public License), to define what you
may and may not do with the software in different situations. The MySQL Database Server is
very fast, reliable, and easy to use.

MySQL Server was originally developed to handle large databases and has been successfully used in
highly demanding production environments for several years. MySQL Server today offers a rich and
useful set of functions. Its connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL Server highly suited for
accessing databases on the Internet.

2.3.7 XAMPP Server

Xampp server installs a complete, ready-to-use development environment. Xampp server allows you
to fit your needs and allows you to setup a local server with the same characteristics as your

Department of CSE(Data Science) 8

College Record Management System DBMS Lab - Mini Project

production. While setting up the server and PHP on your own, you have two choices for the method of
connecting PHP to the server. For many servers, PHP has a direct module interface (also called SAPI).
These servers include Apache, Microsoft Internet Information Server, Netscape and iPlanet servers.
Many other servers support ISAPI, the Microsoft module interface (OmniHTTPd for example). If
PHP has no module support for your web server, you can always use it as a CGI or Fast CGI processor.
This means you set up your server to use the CGI executable of PHP to process all PHP file requests
on the server.

Implementation

4.1 Creating Database Connection

• Creating a database for a college management system project using MySQL involves several
steps to ensure efficient data organization and retrieval. First, you'll need to define the entities
and relationships that represent various aspects of the college system, such as students,
courses, instructors, departments, and enrollments. Once the database schema is designed,
you can use SQL commands to create the necessary tables, specifying the appropriate data
types, constraints, and relationships using foreign keys. For instance, you might have tables
for students with columns like student ID, name, email, and department ID, with the
department ID serving as a foreign key linked to the departments table. Similarly, courses
can have attributes such as course ID, title, credits, and instructor ID. After creating the tables,
you can populate them with sample data or integrate scripts to import data from external
sources. Additionally, you may need to define stored procedures, triggers, or views to enforce
business rules, automate tasks, or simplify complex queries. Regular maintenance tasks like
indexing, backup, and optimization should also be considered to ensure database performance
and reliability. Overall, careful planning and execution are essential to create a well-
structured MySQL database for a college management system project, enabling efficient data
management and retrieval for various functionalities such as student registration, course
scheduling, and academic record keeping.

Department of CSE(Data Science) 12

4.2 Architecture used (4-tier architecture)

• Four Tier architecture is a client–server architecture in which presentation, application

processing, and data management functions are physically separated. Four-tier application
architecture provides a model by which developers can create flexible and reusable
applications. By segregating an application into tiers, developers acquire the option of
modifying or adding a specific layer, instead of reworking the entire application

• The 4-tier architecture promotes modularity, scalability, and maintainability by separating

concerns and providing clear boundaries between different layers of the application. It enables
efficient development, testing, and deployment of complex software systems, making it a
popular choice for building enterprise-level applications

• By separating concerns into distinct layers, the 4-tier architecture promotes modularity,
scalability, and maintainability in software development. It enables easier management of
complexity, facilitates code reusability, and supports the evolution of the system over time by
allowing modifications to individual layers without affecting the entire application.
Additionally, this architecture promotes a clear separation of concerns, making it easier to
understand, develop, and test each component independently.

Department of CSE(Data Science) 13

College Record Management System DBMS Lab - Mini Project

Presentation layer

This is the topmost level of the application. The presentation tier displays information related to
services such as browsing merchandise, purchasing and shopping cart contents. It also communicates
with other tiers and puts out the results to the browser/client tier and to all other tiers in the network.
In simple terms, it is a layer which users can access directly (such as a web page, or an operating
system’s GUI).

Business Layer

Business layer or domain logic is the part of the program that encodes the real-world business rules
which determine how data can be created, stored, and changed. It is contrasted with the remainder of
the software that might be concerned with lower-level details of managing a database or displaying
the user interface, system infrastructure, or generally connecting various parts of the program.

Data access layer

A Data Access Layer (DAL) in computer software, is a layer of computer program which provides
simplified access to data stored in persistent storage. For example, the DAL might return a reference
to an object (in terms of object-oriented programming) with its attributes instead of a row of fields
from a database table. This allows the client (or user) modules to be created with a higher level of
abstraction. This kind of model could be implemented by creating a class of data access methods that
directly reference a corresponding set of databases stored procedures. Another implementation could
potentially retrieve or write records to or from a file system. The DAL hides the complexity of the
underlying data store from the external world.

Control layer

The control layer is responsible for the communication between business and presentation layer. It
connects logic and data with each other and provides a better connectivity and separation between
layers

Fig.5.2. Admin Login page

Figure 5.2 describes the login page; A login page specifies the login URL in a web application that
users must pass through to get to the authenticated URL at the heart of the application. Authenticated
URLs are URLs that become accessible to users only after they successfully log in to the login URL.

Fig.5.3. Dashboard page

The dashboard page serves as a centralized hub within an application, presenting key information,
statistics, and functionalities in a visually appealing and easily digestible format. Typically, it
provides users with an overview of important metrics, such as performance indicators, recent
activities, or upcoming events, tailored to their roles or preferences. Through interactive widgets,
charts, and graphs, users can quickly assess trends, track progress, and take informed actions.
