Databases PPQ

Q1.
A club, AQA Wanderers, wishes to computerise the records of matches played by its first
team so that it can generate statistics on its players. The data requirements are defined
below.

In a season, the club’s first team plays against all opposition clubs’ first teams from the
same division of the league twice, once at home and once away from home. The date of
each match, the start time, opposition team’s name, whether home or away, goals for and
goals against are recorded. Each AQA Wanderers’ player has a player identification
number and their surname, forenames, date of birth, contact telephone number are
recorded.

For each match, fourteen players from a pool of twenty are selected as match players
including three substitutes. The player identification numbers of the selected players are
to be recorded for each match together with the identification number sewn on the shirt
worn (range one to fourteen) so that a player’s first team appearances may be analysed.
The goal scorers of AQA Wanderers, if any, in each match must also be recorded
together with the number of goals scored by each against the opposition. Players one to
eleven start a match but may be substituted by players twelve to fourteen during the
match. For any substitution of an AQA Wanderers’ player by another during a match the
player identification numbers of both are to be recorded.

Five entities for AQA Wanderers are

Player, MatchPlayer, Match, GoalScorer, Substitution
