SQL Library System Database Design and Optimization

Library Project

Overview

I led a team of four in the design, development, and optimization of a SQL-based relational database for a library system. Our goal was to create an efficient, scalable, and user-friendly system that could handle all aspects of library management.

Key Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership: Managed a team of four throughout the project lifecycle, from database design to implementation and testing.
  • Database Design: Analyzed user needs to design a relational database that met functional requirements while minimizing redundancy through data normalization.
  • SQL Development: Developed SQL queries and used built-in functions to extract, manipulate, and analyze data effectively.
  • Performance Optimization: Focused on optimizing query performance to ensure fast data retrieval and efficient system operations.
  • Testing & Implementation: Populated the database with test data and rigorously tested it to ensure reliability and accuracy.

Achievements

  • Reduced Data Redundancy: Achieved efficient data management by applying normalization techniques, leading to reduced redundancy and improved database performance.
  • Optimized SQL Queries: Enhanced query performance through optimization, ensuring the system was responsive even with large data sets.

Tools & Technologies
