Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to create a system that will allow a user of little computer ability to create, edit and use a database system for any area of their business; whether it be accounting, sales or another.

The dissertation will take an in depth look at the different areas of Computer Science that are needed to produce such a system. Several different methods and ideas that could be used or included are analysed and the best ones chosen with good reasons. It describes a system that allows through the use of a designer program the creation of a database and analyses the different design decisions and options that are available. The implementation of the project is then discussed and finally the whole project is evaluated. It also includes plenty of future expansion in several different directions.
