Airlines Reservation DBMS Laboratory with Mini-project

ABSTRACT

Airlines reservation system allows the passengers to enquire and book flights which are
available based on the source, destination, meal preferences and date allotments. This system
will be able to generate report regarding the booking operation. For example, the bookings
done and the booking details of each passenger are maintained in records. This system also
allows us to keep a track of other details regarding the flight through the admin profile. The
main focus of this system are the aeroplane details, bookings and its details along with its
management.

Prototyping approach is applied while developing this system. This will involve an iterative
process to make this system is usable and easy to use by the user. The design will involve
entity relationship diagram (ERD) and Data Flow Diagram (DFD) to show the logical flow for
the system. For the implementation, Apache2 is used as a web server, MySQL as a database,
PHP as a scripting language. The main important while developing any system is to make the
system usable. Overall this system provides a user-friendly environment for airlines booking
management and helps in smooth functioning of the system.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW

The main aim of the project is the management of the database of the airlines system for
bookings by creating a database of the flights and their routes. The database is then connected
to the main program by using the interconnection of the PHP program and the database already
created in MySQL.

Every organization, whether big or small, has challenges to overcome and manage the
information of aeroplane details, bookings, pilot details or any other details. “The Airlines
Reservation System” has been developed to over-ride the problems in practising in normal
systems. The software developed is supported to eliminate or reduce the hardships faced in the
existing system.

The Airline Reservation System project is an implementation of general Airline ticketing

website, which helps the customers to search the availability and other preferences of various
Airline tickets with the different packages available. This project also covers various features
like online registration with users, updating the details by the administrator of the website, by
adding the Airline details, co-pilot details, hostess details, pilot details.

1.2 OBJECTIVE

 To develop a airlines reservation system which supports the daily booking operation
and for easier data record and retrieval process.

 To develop a software which simplifies the communication process between the

customer and the airlines booking counter.

 To maintain and reduce complexity in maintain airline records with its bookings
.

1.3 EXISTING SYSTEM:

 The existing system is very complex, waste of time & many more Real-life problem.

 There are no valid records of the customers maintained.

 It is a more expensive process.

 Immediate responses to the queries are difficult.

 Lot of time taken for manual reservations

 1.4 PROPOSED SYSTEM

 To provide a system that the customers find user-friendly and efficient.

 This system helps to solve the time-related problem which simplifies the
communication process.
 To store the details of not only the flights but also the pilot, co-pilot and hostess details.
 The customers can get information about the flights at any time.
 This system reduces all the paperwork.

3.3 INTRODUCTION TO APACHE WEB SERVER

Apache is a freely available Web server that is distributed under an "open source" license.
Version 2.0 runs on most Unix-based operating systems (such as Linux, Solaris, Digital UNIX,
and AIX), on other UNIX/POSIX-derived systems (such as Rhapsody, BeOS, and
BS2000/OSD), on AmigaOS, and on Windows 2000. Apache has been shown to be substantially
faster, more stable, and more feature-full than many web servers. The most important thing is
apache is able to incorporate with PHP/ MySQL.

3.4 INTRODUCTION TO SQL SERVER

Microsoft SQL Server is a full-featured relational database management system (RDBMS) that
offers a variety of administrative tools to ease the burdens of database development, maintenance
and administration. In this article, we'll cover six of the more frequently used tools: Enterprise
Manager, Query Analyzer, SQL Profiler, Service Manager, Data Transformation Services and
Books Online.

Many database-driven websites that use MySQL use a Web scripting language like PHP to
access information from the database. MySQL commands can be incorporated into the PHP
code, allowing part or all of a Web page to be generated from database information. Because
both MySQL and PHP are both open source, the PHP/MySQL combination has become a
popular choice for database-driven websites.

3.5 INTRODUCTION TO PHP

PHP (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor") is an Open Source general-
purpose scripting language that suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
The PHP code is executed on the server different from the other side. PHP is focused on server-
side scripting. It can collect form data, generate dynamic page content, or send and receive
cookies.

PHP can be used on all major operating systems. The most important things are PHP is able to
run in Microsoft Windows. PHP has also support for most of the web servers today. Since the
system using Apache as the web server, so it is suitable to choose PHP as the scripting language.
PHP also able to connect to any major database and MySQL is the database for the clinic
management system. PHP and MySQL are able to operate in any operating system. The
communication can be done using common Structured Query Language (SQL).

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

CONCLUSION

This system can be implemented in any of the airlines across the world without any problem.
This user-friendly system interface does not need any training for the employees to use. The
system is self-explanatory.

LIMITATIONS OF PROJECT

 Any errors during insertion will be stored as it is if the user is ignorant.

 Without the system it is not possible to use the project.
 Backup is required.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

Due to specific time for the project, the current project has limited information and can be developed and
enhanced for the further use. The various enhancements that can be made in the software are as below:

 We can add the facility for help in the software

 We can add a SMS notification for the bookings made
