Application of a Database System for Inventory Management of Classified Material
Abstract
The purpose of the is study was to develop a database system model suitable for implementation onboard Naval ships, and to aid in the inventory management of classified material in this environment. The developed system must be considered a prototype model which may need further modification and extension in order to fit a specific user's need. Although the system must be considered a prototype in its present form, the application program will perform all the basic jobs of the sub-custodian with regard to inventory management. Since dBase III PLUS was used in the application program of this thesis, a relational database must be used. A brief discussion of relational database model was reviewed in Chapter II, in order to give the user basic knowledge of the model. The system is menu driven. not only easy to use but also easy to develop a database modify, since both the user and the programmer are directed to the desired point through the sequence of menus and sub-menus. Finally, it is up to the security manager and secret custodian to monitor the effectiveness of this application program during the initial implementation stage and throughout its life cycle.
