'Semester Examination System' DBMS project
I had a viva today on DBMS (Data Base Management Systems) .
Months ago, we were given an assignment on "Semester Examination System", which was to create a database incorporating structures for all information regarding students, teachers, examinations, routines, results etc. and to show and manipulate the data through a graphical user interface. Every group was given one such assignment. We were free to choose any programming language for the projects.
Few weeks ago we found that work had not progressed at all. As of then, only the E-R diagram was submitted and some tables of our database had been created.
Most of the groups were doing their projects in Java and MySQL, which we learned in the previous semester. As I am trying to learn PHP for sometime now, I decided to make the GUI with PHP. I found it is easy to use PHP with mysql, as there are lot of functions in PHP to manipulate mysql database.
Finally, we managed to get something ready to show in the viva. Though our database is in a very basic form (much to be fixed), the GUI is working properly with the database. There are also many things need to be added to the GUI. I used the 'Roadsend' to create a Standalone Web Application (Microserver) to be able to run on the lab computers, without requiring the need to setup server and install PHP.
I have uploaded our project files at the Google Code Hosting. If you are interested you can visit http://code.google.com/p/semester-exam-system/

You can get some idea from the project mentioned above. The results are not calculated here though, they are only retrieved from the database and displayed.
