Problems and Solutions

Problems: Solutions:

•1 We can only use some specific words to command the system.•E.G. Use “ F”/ “M” instead of “GIRL”/ “BOY”

Design a wider range of vocabulary use of commands

2. Database systems are complex, difficult, and time-consuming

Design some wizards to guide users

3.Other applications will be affected if the system is damaged

Make the system become independent with other software

Conclusion

Project aim: record personal information of friends Features of database system:• High data security level• Convenient for update of

data• Easy to filter information

Designing the structure of the tables, input form, queries, and report can help us to achieve the objectives effectively.
