Background of the Study
When an institution or organization needs to manage a large amount of data, a database is a good way to store and retrieve the data. A database in this context refers to any collection of related data used by your application. Some typical examples of information that may be stored in a database include: Student information, Employee information, Patent records, Sales, Inventory, Product data, Transaction records, etc. We could use individual files to store this information, but a large number of files becomes too much as the scale of the database increases. A database management system is the entire software package that is used to develop, implement, manage, and maintain the database(s). Common examples of databases include MySQL (free), Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and Microsoft Access. In a database, data is stored in tables made up of one or more columns (Access calls a column a field). The data stored in each column must be of a single data type such as Character, Number or Date. A collection of values from each column of a table is called a record or a row in the table while a field represents the unit of a given record or an attribute of every entity in the database.
A database system for contract allocation facilitates the easy recording of contract records, such that it will be easier to get details of contracts awarded or get reports of any registered contract when needed.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The manual way of recording contract information on paper files or office flat files is associated with many pitfalls. It makes it difficult to easily record and update contract information, searching for specific information pertaining contracts awarded is very difficult with the manual system. It is in view of these pitfalls that necessitates a database management system for contract allocation.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
The following are the objectives of the study;
- To develop a database system that can be used to register awarded contracts
- To develop a system that will aid the easy retrieval of contract information
- To develop a system that will facilitate the easy updating of contract information.
1.4 Significance of the Study
The significance of the study is that it will provide a convenient way of managing contract allocation. This will help the ministry to keep record of contracts with ease and update contract information with ease. The study will also serve as a useful reference material to other researchers seeking for information related to the research study.
1.5 Scope of the Study
This study covers database management information system on contract allocation and it is limited to ministry of works, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state.
