Problem Statement:

In consideration that the topic we picked is Online shopping system, we believe that companies that did not use database will find it a hard time to interact with the data. The data here we are referring to not only product data, but also the customer’s data and the transactions that has been made by them. This is crucial and time-sensitive considering how decision making of strategies might benefit companies more or create a massive loss when not spotted or dealt properly.

For instance, to be able to see which pricing strategy fits a certain pool of customers or to learn and compare KPI (Key Performance Indicator) between quarters and also to make performance progress chart by searching through transaction information. It is also pinnacle to be very systematic and structured in structuring the product data as online shopping store always have a huge amount of product data that when not taken care properly will result in miscommunication/misjudgment. For example, through the use of Traditional File System there is high possibility of lost in physical files and or application files; also checking stocks and/or possible alternative of items would be harder and take a longer time. In addition, Database offers more security than Traditional File System considering that it uses authorization process, password protection and also encryption and decryption.

Our database would be applicable to anyone in the online shopping store considering that they would have a lot of product, customer and transaction data. The user will directly interact with the database through a web application.
