The Scenario
Wyndham Summer Houses are a construction company based in US. The company specialize in building summer houses and outbuildings such as sheds. They want you to design and implement a database that meets the requirements for their data. These requirements are specified in this scenario and the examples of paper documents kept by the company that are shown below.
Wyndham Summer Houses organise their data around the concept of a 'job'. A job is specified as being for a particular property; but note that a property might have more than one job over time.
A job is also categorized by job type which is linked to a particular design. The detailed architectural plans for each design are NOT to be stored on this database. Instead a design would be linked to a number of parts and there should be a reference to a detailed plan kept as a separate document. Moreover, a particular design will specify the parts to be used for that design. A separate record is kept of the actual parts used on that job, which will include any additional parts used beyond those specified in the design. This is shown in the sample documents below. Finally, there should also be a record kept of the members of staff who work on a job.
Please Note: The data shown in the assignment is not necessarily normalised, and that it is the candidate's task to organize the data in the most optimal way possible. For example, the paper records shown below will not necessarily map directly to data base tables. The candidate is expected to use these tables as a starting point for their own normalisation and optimisation of the Lawson Summer Houses data.
Below is a sample of the paper records currently kept by Lawson Summer Houses

Task 1 – initial design
Produce an entity relationship model for the proposed database system for the house.
Produce a data dictionary for the entity relationship model.
Task 2 – data and queries.
Create all of the tables in the entity relationship model using SQL. You should provide screen dumps to show that the create statements have worked.
Populate all database tables with appropriate data. You should provide screen dumps to show that your INSERT statements have worked.
Query
Write a query that selects all of the jobs and the staffs that have worked on them. Write a query that selects the parts that are actually used on job including those specified as standard in the design for that particular job type.
Write a query that selects all the properties and jobs that have taken place at those properties.
Write a query that shows all of the jobs that have taken place for a particular design.
Task 3 - derived data
The company has said they would like to extend the database to include costing information. All parts will be allocated a price and all members of staff will be allocated a flat rate for working on a job. Show how you would extend the database. Using the extended database write a query that selects all the relevant data for a job. This should include the property, job type, design, parts, staff and cost.
Task 4 – Evaluation
Give an evaluate of how the work you have done has met the requirements of the firm.
