...Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) The evolution of warehouse management systems (WMS) is very similar to that of many other software solutions. Initially a system to control movement and storage of materials within a warehouse, the role of WMS is expanding to including light manufacturing, transportation management, order management, and complete accounting systems. To use the grandfather of operations-related software, MRP, as a comparison, material requirements planning (MRP) started as a system for planning raw material requirements in a manufacturing environment. Soon MRP evolved into manufacturing resource planning (MRPII), which took the basic MRP system and added scheduling and capacity planning logic. Eventually MRPII evolved into enterprise resource planning (ERP), incorporating all the MRPII functionality with full financials and customer and vendor management functionality. Now, whether WMS evolving into a warehouse-focused ERP system is a good thing or not is up to debate. What is clear is that the expansion of the overlap in functionality between Warehouse Management Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Distribution Requirements Planning, Transportation Management Systems, Supply Chain Planning, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, and Manufacturing Execution Systems will only increase the level of confusion among companies looking for software solutions for their operations. Even though WMS continues to gain added functionality, the initial core functionality...

...Hostel Management System Project Report : CS315 - Introduction to Database Systems Akshay Kumar & Abhijit Sharang Advisor : Dr. Harish Karnick Department of Computer Science and Engineering {kakshay,abhisg}@iitk.ac.in April 9, 2013 We present to you Hostel Management System - a fully automated portal to cater to various affairs of a hostel. This is capable of handling Book Club, Complains, Washerman Transaction, Canteen and Mess Transactions. The Relational Database System used is mysql whereas the frontend is powered by php, ajax and other internet technologies. INTRODUCTION Our project involved developing a fully automated hostel management system which can cater to the needs of students & administrators. Presently, there’s no such system in place and most of the work done is not computerized. With the help of this portal, the time spent in such redundant chores can be heavily cut down and will also ensure transparency. For now, the day to day tasks of mess, canteen, library, complaints, washerman, etc. have been incorporated into the framework but it can be extended to suit the exact needs of a hostel. Since the amount of work is large, we have decided to split the work between two people. FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES • Database : We created the database for this project right from scratch. All the information has been manually entered. To implement it actually, it can easily be imported from a csv file. • Login : The interface provides login only to select authorities...

...A database management system (DBMS) “creates, reads, updates, and deletes data in a database while controlling access and security” (Baltzan, 2015, p.92). The database management system that I have decided to write about is MySQL. SQL stands for structured query language which “asks users to write lines of code to answer questions against a database” (Baltzan, 2015, p.92). The company that makes and distributes the system is Oracle Corporation. Oracle Corporation is a worldwide computer technology corporation that was founded on July 16, 1977 in Santa Clara, California by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates. The headquarters are located in Redwood City, California and focuses on increasing and selling computer hardware systems and enterprise software products but mostly its own brands of database management systems. Oracle also builds tools for database development and systems of middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) software, and supply chain management (SCM) software. In this article “DBA and Developer Guide to MySQL 5.6”, talks about the new development of MySQL on how it is much better and that it has improved and just explaining more about its improvement. It has better performance and scalability, better application availability with online DDL/Schema, and better developer agility with NoSQL Access with Memcached API to InnoDB. It has improved in replication for high performance, self-healing,...

...Data base management systems: A database management system (DBMS) is system software for creating and managing databases. The DBMS provides users and programmers with a systematic to create, retrieve, update and manage data. A DBMS makes it possible for end users to create, read, update and delete data in a database. The DBMS essentially serves as an interface between the database and end users or application programs, ensuring that data is consistently organized and remains easily accessible. The DBMS manages three important things: The data, the database engine that allows data to be accessed, locked and modified -- and the database schema, which defines the database’s logical structure. These three foundational elements help provide concurrency, security, data integrity and uniform administration procedures. Typical database administration tasks supported by the DBMS include change management, performance monitoring/tuning and backup and recovery. Many database management systems are also responsible for automated rollbacks, restarts and recovery as well as the logging and auditing of activity. * Data modeling vs Database structure Data modeling is often the first step in database design and object-oriented programming as the designers first create a conceptual model of how data items relate to each other while a data structure is a specialized format for organizing and storing data. Different steps of developing database * Enterprise data model: preliminary understanding...

...International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 3, Issue 3, March -2012 ISSN 2229-5518 1 A Distributed Transaction Model for a Multidatabase Management System Omar Baakeel and Abdulaziz Alrashidi Abstract— This paper examines the distributed transaction issues that are present in multi-database management systems (DBMSs) and how the distributed transaction in database technology differs from other distributed processing systems. Some common issues that arise with the distribution of transactions over a multi-DBMS while dealing with concurrency control and recovery are highlighted, such as site failure, network failure, and time failure. This study proposes an exceptional distributed transaction model for processing transaction queries in multi-DBMS based on the idea that a complete database can be constructed at any stage. Index Terms— Database management system (DBMS), distributed transaction, transaction management, transaction network —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION ENERALLY, a distributed transaction is defined as a transaction that updates data on two or more networked computer systems. Different conceptual structures for processing transaction elements are required to meet certain needs of applications that must update distributed data in terms of peer to peer connection. Developing a transaction model is difficult because most of these techniques are customized for a single transaction point, and many types of failures, such as client failure...

Patel Master of Science in Computer Science San Diego State University, 2012 The Mobile Store Management System is software which can become the backbone for a billing and inventory system for small organizations. This software provides an uncomplicated system to run mobile stores. This application could be very useful to small organizations. This application is inspired from current pen and paper based store management systems. It will provide an easy and attractive interface so that the user can easily manage and utilize the application. Various other approaches were considered for this application. This application is designed in a way that it will only require a minimum amount of information from the user. The goal was to look for the minimum amount of information that will meet needed requirements. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ABSTRACT ...............................................................................................
