Task

The Fermoy House database

The owners of Fermoy House, a Bed and Breakfast guest house in the Blue Mountains of NSW, have approached you to build them a database to help them run their business.

Fermoy House provides overnight accommodation and breakfast to couples and has four guest bedrooms and a detached private cottage in a private part of the garden. Each bedroom, and the cottage, will accommodate a maximum of 2 guests only.

Task

  1. Create an ERD that shows the entities, attributes, relationships, cardinality and optionality that describe the booking of a room by a guest. This ERD is to be labelled ERD 1. (50 marks)


In order to create a point of differentiation from other local bed and breakfast houses, Fermoy House will allow guests to have up to 2 of their dogs stay in the attached kennels. The dog names are normally recorded so that Fermoy House can provide guests with a personalised dog collar for each dog.


Task

 

  1. Add the entities, attributes, relationships, cardinality and optionality that describe the addition of a dog(s) by a guest to their booking. Add these to ERD 1. This new ERD is to be labelled as ERD 2. (20 marks)

 

Breakfast is provided for all guests as part of their accommodation, and guests can choose from either a Continental or a cooked Irish breakfast. This information is normally recorded at the time of booking the accommodation.


Task

 

  1. Add the entities, attributes, relationships, cardinality and optionality that describe the addition of breakfast by a guest to their booking. Add these to ERD 2. This new ERD is to be labelled as ERD 3. (20 marks)

Bookings are normally taken for up to 12 months in advance and guests who have stayed more than 5 times at Fermoy House receive a gift of wine and chocolates on arrival.


Task

 

  1. Add the entities, attributes, relationships, cardinality and optionality that describe how many times a guest has booked a stay at Fermoy House. Add these to ERD 3. This ERD is to be labelled as ERD 4. (10 marks)
