3 Task introduction

tbryden1 — 2024-01-30 03:11:42 UTC

SLC stakeholders have proposed development of a video game rental web application to allow staff and students within the College to rent video games. The new web application must utilise a backend relational database and

allow staff and students to:
- browse and rent available video games
- return rented video games
allow administrators to:
- create, update, and delete user accounts
- view a list of all rentals (who has what)

4 Relational schema

One user can create many rentals (rent many games) (1:N)
One game can be rented many times (1:N)
