CHAPTER 7: DATABASE DESIGN

7.1 INTRODUCTION

A database is one of the most important components of any web-based application because it
stores, organizes, and manages all information required for system operation. In an e-commerce
platform, the database maintains customer details, product information, orders, payments,
inventory, and other operational records.

The proposed application uses a MySQL Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
due to its reliability, scalability, security, and compatibility with PHP-based web applications.

The database has been designed by following normalization principles to minimize redundancy,
maintain data integrity, and improve query performance.

7.2 DATABASE ARCHITECTURE

The proposed database follows a relational architecture in which different entities are
interconnected using primary keys and foreign keys.

Major entities include:

 Users
 Products
 Categories
 Orders
 Order Items
 Payments
 Wishlist
 Reviews
 Coupons
 Contact Messages

The architecture ensures efficient communication among different modules of the application
while maintaining consistency across all records.
