Welcome to the Library Management System (LMS) project! 🎓 This project demonstrates how to create a fully functional library management system using SQL. The goal is to manage library operations like book records, user management, borrow/return transactions, and more using SQL queries and database design techniques.
The Library Management System is designed to handle day-to-day library tasks with ease by managing:
- 📚 Books and Resources: Adding, updating, and deleting book records.
- 👨🎓 Students/Members: Registering new users and managing membership details.
- 🔄 Transactions: Borrowing and returning books, tracking due dates.
- 📊 Reports: Generating summaries of overdue books, user activity, and stock availability.
This project provides an efficient way of organizing and retrieving library data using SQL as the database backbone.
- SQL: The core technology used to create tables, relationships, and perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).
- Database Management System: MySQL, PostgreSQL, or any other SQL-compatible DBMS.
- ER Diagram: Visual representation of the database structure to demonstrate relationships between entities.
- 📚 Book Management: Add, remove, and update book records, including details like author, ISBN, genre, and stock availability.
- 👥 Member Management: Register new members, update their details, and manage their borrowing activity.
- 🔄 Transaction System: Issue and return books with automatic due date and fine calculation.
- 🕒 Overdue Tracking: Query overdue books and notify users for returns.
- 📊 Reports: Generate reports for library statistics, such as the most borrowed books and member activity logs.
Below is the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) of the Library Management System, which visually represents how entities like books, members, and transactions are connected.
- Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/sushant98k/Library_Management_system_SQL.git
- Run the SQL scripts in your preferred SQL environment:
create_tables.sql: Creates the necessary tables for the LMS.insert_data.sql: Populates the tables with sample data.queries.sql: Contains useful queries for various library operations.
- Execute Queries: Use the provided SQL queries to interact with the system, such as adding new books, managing members, and processing book loans.
- 🖥️ Front-End Integration: Build a simple UI to interact with the SQL database.
- 🔄 Advanced Search: Implement advanced search options with filters for genres, authors, or publication dates.
- 📦 Backup/Restore System: Add functionality to back up and restore the database.
- 💻 Cloud Database: Deploy the system using a cloud-hosted database service like Amazon RDS or Google Cloud SQL.
