Library management database design and application

Abstract

Under the data-centric business environment, efficient database design is pivotal for efficient data management across various sectors. For libraries and bookstores, a well-tailored database is essential to categorize, index, and swiftly retrieve vast amounts of data, ensuring efficient operations. MySQL is an open-source database management system which facilitates efficient data manipulation. Based on MySQL, this essay delves into the realm of library database design and application, addressing the need for streamlined systems. This research addresses the need for adaptation in the evolving technology landscape and offers practical insights for librarians and researchers aiming to optimize information management in modern libraries. Employing the basic steps for database design, we explore one methodology for designing a library management database based on the design of database requirement, modeling, backend implementation, efficiency optimization and testing using MySQL. Through this approach, the study provides a potential solution that meets the basic requirements of libraries and enhances information management practices.
