Task Summary
This final assessment requires you to produce a robust and a flexible database that is able to accurately store
information about the business mentioned in the case study. You also need to develop the queries and reports to
provide data insights which in turn drive business decisions. Your submission should include:
a) Appropriate modelling plus any business rules or assumptions
b) SQL commands to
physically implement your logical model
populate the database
retrieve meaningful information
c) Visualizations that can be presented at a board meeting
Context
This assignment brings together all the learning gained over the duration of this subject. The skills and knowledge
you’ve gained in this subject forms a vital part of your ability to traverse the major disciplines in the data and database
fields. You will be able to interact with analysts, developers, database administrators and managers using a common
language which is vital if an organization is to function effectively. These skills are the groundwork for further career
progression in data analysis and information management.

The deadline for team registration is 11:45pm AEST Friday end of Module 2.2
To register your team, you are required to send your Learning Facilitator an email with “[MIS602] Group
Registration” in the subject line. In the body of that email, please list the names and student ID numbers of all
the members of your team.
You are required to send the registration email to your facilitator before the registration deadline.
After the registration deadline, those students who are not in a team will be allocated to a group by the
Learning Facilitator.
2. Case Study
Please read the attached MIS602_Assessment 3_Case Study.
3. Database Case Study Report
Based on the information provided in the case study, create a functioning database using MySQL that can be
queried to meet the requirements of the business.
4. The database case study report should include the following elements:
a) ER diagram, relational model and associated business rules and assumptions
b) SQL commands to:
Create tables and Insert sample data rows into each table

SQL queries to provide business insights
At least one of each of the following is required:

SELECT query with a condition
GROUP BY query
JOIN query o NESTED query
For each query explain its business value i.e. what business question does the result answer? Does it
save money/more efficient process?
c) At least two visualizations with an explanation of its business value.
For each visualization explain its business value. E.g. does the visualization highlight savings in time or
money?
