within labs is permitted.) Click here to download Appendix A.
After reviewing your database design from Lab 1: Creating a
Database Design in Visio, the college has provided more
information for the database that they want developed:
· For each student, the college needs to track the student ID,
student names, addresses, start date, phone numbers and types
(such as mobile, home, work), email addresses and types (such
as personal, school, work), gender, and birth date.
· For each course, the college needs to track the course ID,
course name, department, quarters offered, sections, and
instructor teaching each course.
· For each instructor, the college needs to track the instructor
ID, name, address, phone numbers and types (such as mobile,
home, work), email addresses and types (such as personal,

6. school, work), gender, birth date, and the courses that each
instructor is qualified to teach.
· Additionally, the college needs to track the final grades for
each student after each course has completed.
