Design,Development And Implementation Of A Management Information System"a Case Study Of Student's Registration System At Faculty Of Commerce And Business Administration, Nile Valley University, Sudan"

The present study has dealt with database system as an essential part of computer science education. The selection of the registration process as an application research is justified by the fact that the design of machinery information system, which carries out the process of registration, is highly needed. It will decrease the time wasted and effort exerted by both students and registrar. It also aims to provide a safe place for keeping the student's records. The research has selected Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, Nile Valley University, Sudan, as a case study. A database was created for the implementation of the application, using VB6 for the system interface and for the report processing CR6 was used. The research methodology has adopted a description and analysis to explain the university database and the registration procedures.The study includes the following steps:A concise review about the development of database management systems is provided. Then we analyze student's registration system, which includes: the E-R model with RDBMS and relational tables of student's registration system and creation of database tables using Microsoft Access. Now we are ready to design, implement and perform analysis for registration system that consist of the selection of system environment, designing application using visual studio.6 for creating system interface and ADO control to access the data stored in the database. Data security prevents unauthorized users from viewing or updating the database.To implement the student's registration system, the research has maintained the following two procedures:First: To achieve the registration system outlined in file execution: A log page, containing the information for the user's ID and password. By entering the correct password and clicking on the OK button, the system invokes the main file.Second: Performance testing consists of testing system environment and testing result.The present investigation has provided useful conclusions for demonstrating a process for the registration system.Future research should pay more consideration for the methodological advances needed to improve registration system, including the relational database, system interface application and online registration system.
