The proposed system

You have decided to use database software to provide a more efficient solution.

The following is a list of specific requirements:

• A number of well designed queries that are appropriate to the scenario.
• A user interface that allows users to carry out all record operations.
• Reports that show the following information:
o A list of all courses along with delegates that are attending
o For statistical purposes, a report that shows a list of all current employees and their current age (Ordered by age)
o A report that shows a list of delegates for a given course
o ID badges for delegates of a given course

Further information regarding requirements can be obtained from your tutor, who is acting as the client.
