B&S 2.3.1 Booking ?

[Fabio Kimura]

Hi. I got B&S 2.3.1 assigment, and after reading and re-reading it, I didn't find anything about bookin a contractor to a customer. Although the database has a field for it, the interface doesn't have any method for booking, and it just says:

What you must do:

The following are the "top level" features that must be implemented:
* A client program with a graphical user interface that connects to the database
* A data access system that provides record locking and a flexible search mechanism
* Network server functionality for the database system


Anyone got the same version? All I need to do is to implement a searching interface? No booking?


Thanks in advance to you all.

hello,

the first hit when searching my B & S 2.3.2 for "book" is this:

The user interface for this assignment must satisfy the following criteria: ... It must allow the user to book a selected record, updating the database file accordingly.

Maybe you really don't have to implement this functionality, it just seems as unlikely to me as it does to you.

Yeah, I found it, sorry for the mess up, but I print out a version and it seems that my printer messed up, I found it in the html file version.
It seems that we have to implement the "booking" feature, but it's up to us to decide for the "unbooking" feature. Is that correct?

If you don't provide booking of a contractor, you will be automatically failed. Providing "unbooking" is unnecessary for the assignment and you will not be awarded in points for extra features.
