General comments
The relational database is a type of ITGS product that emerges in a number of areas in a school. Caution needs to be exercised to ensure that the database is well structured, that complex techniques are used, and that the development process is well documented. Screenshots are most important and must be explained. The success of a database also depends upon a sufficient number of records being entered to demonstrate and test the database.
Criterion A: Initial investigation
A client is identified.
The problem and the inadequacies of the present situation are explained.
There are cited references to consultation with the client.
Criterion B: Analysis

Criterion C: Project schedule

The structure of the product and the choice of techniques are justified.
There are at least three complex techniques explained among the six that were identified (more than three related tables, complex queries and calculated fields, proficient design of reports).
