| Abstract [eng] |
The Data Base Management System (DBMS) is the foundation of almost every modern business information system. Virtually every administrative process in business, science or government relies on a database. There are a lot of DBMS products in our days, such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, MySQL and PostgreSQL. Each of it has their advantages and disadvantages. But the database design process using these DBMS is the same – at the first stage we need to create a database (tables and relationships between them), then we need to create (or generate by using wizard) forms for data input/modification and reports for data selection. However, the database design process would become easier by changing database design process in such a way that at first we create forms and then database is generated from forms data and forms are automatically associated with database tables. The task of research is to extend chosen free open source DBMS by new functions which would enable to develop forms and DB using new methods – automated database generation from forms and automatic forms association with database tables. OpenOffice.org Base DBMS and Java programming language has been chosen for the task implementation. This thesis consists of analysis, design, user manual, experimental and conclusion parts. |
