Room Allotments System

ABSTRACT

Exam Hall Seating Arrangement System is developed for the college to simplify examination
hall allotment and seating arrangement. It facilitates to access the examination information of a
particular student in a particular class. The purpose of developing exam hall seating arrangement
system is to computerized the traditional way of conducting exams. Another purpose for
developing this software is to generate the seating arrangement report automatically during
exams at the end of the session or in between the session. The scope of the project is the system
on which the software is installed, i.e. the project is developed as a web based application, and it
will work for a particular institute. Mostly students are facing many problem for finding the
exam hall and their seats respectively .An newly invented concept can aid for the students for
checking their exam halls. This helps them to identify the floor or get directions to their
respective halls without delays. The Students details have information about all the students who
attend the examination .It contains the name of the student, Hall Ticket No, Branch of the student
and the hall number. Hall Details have total number of halls available in the institution and the
name of the hall. Batch Details contains Department Details for ex., Computer Science, Biology,
Chemistry, Mathematics etc., and the examination timings details have total timing allotted to
students and hall etc. The project keeps track of various details in modules such as, Students
Details, Examination Timing Details, and Hall Details with the proper descriptions. Index
Terms- Exam hall seating arrangement, Login page designing, student’s details, and Reporting

INTRODUCTION TO DBMS
A database management system (DBMS) refers to the technology for creating and managing
databases .Basically DBMS is a software tool to organize (create, retrieve, update and manage)
data in a database.

The main aim of a DBMS is to supply a way to store up and retrieve database information that is
both convenient and efficient. By data, we mean known facts that can be recorded and that have
embedded meaning. Normally people use software such as DBASE 4 or 5, Microsoft ACCESS,
or EXCEL to store data in form of database. A datum is a unit of data. Meaning data combined
to form information. Hence, information is interpreted data-data provided with semantics.
MS.ACCESS is one the most common examples of database management software.

More on Data, Information and Knowledge

Knowledge refers to the useful use of information. As you know that information can be
transported, stored and shared without much problem and difficulties but the same cannot be said
about knowledge. Knowledge necessarily involves a personal experience and practice.

Database systems are meant to handle large collection of information. Management of data
involves both defining structure for storage of information and providing mechanisms that can
do the manipulation of those stored information. Moreover, the database system must ensure the
safety of the information stored, despite system crashes or attempts at unauthorized access.

Why Use DBMS?

 To develop software application in less time.

 Database independence and efficient use of data.
 For uniform data administration.
 For data integrity and security.
 For concurrent access of data, and data recovery from crashes.
 To use user –friendly declarative query language.
Where is Database Management System (DBMS) being used?
 Airlines: reservations, schedules etc
 Telecom: calls made, customer details, network usage etc
 Sales; products, purchase, customer etc
 Banking: all transactions etc

Advantages of DBMS

A DBMS manage data and has many advantages. These are;

 Data independence: Application programs should be as free or independent as possible
from details of data representation and storage. DBMS can supply an abstract view of the
data for insulating application code from such facts.
 Efficient data access: DBMS utilizes a mixture of sophisticated concepts and techniques
for storing and retrieving data competently and this feature becomes important in cases
where the data is stored on external storage device
 Data integrity and security: if data is accessed through the DBMS, the DBMS can enforce
integrity constraint on the data.
 Data administration: when several users share the data, integrated the administration of
data can offer major improvements. Experiments professionals understand the nature of
the data being managed and can be responsible for organizing the data representation to
reduce redundancy and make the data to retrieve efficiently.

MYSQL

MYSQL db is an interface for connecting to a MYSQL database server from HTML. IT

implements the HTML database API v2.0 and is built on top of the MYSQL C API.
MYSQL, the most popular open source SQL database management system, is developed,
distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation. The MYSQL website provides the
latest information about MYSQL software.

*MYSQL is a database management system.

A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple

shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate
network. To add, access, and process data storage in a computer database, you need a
database management system such as MYSQL server.

*MYSQL database is relational.

A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in
one big storeroom. The database structures are organized into physical files optimized for
seed. The logic model, with objects such as database, tables, views, rows and columns,
offers a flexible programming environment.

*MYSQL software is open source.

Open source means that it is possible for anyone to use and modify the software.
Anybody can download the MYSQL software from the internet and use it without paying
anything. The MYSQL software use the GPL(GNU General Public License), to define
what you may and may not do with the software in different situations.

*A large amount of contributed MYSQL software is available.

MYSQL Server has a practical set of features developed in close cooperation with
our users. It is very likely that your favorite application or language supports the MYSQL
Database Server. The official way to pronounce “MUSQL” is “MY ESSQUE E11”, but
do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.
