The Spectra Lab Management System, integrates SQL Server with a Visual Basic GUI to manage medical lab operations. Developed by a multidisciplinary team, it enhances efficiency and accuracy in patient care through advanced technologies and streamlined processes.
This project aims to design and develop a database management information system for a specific domain. The project will involve:
- Identifying a real-world use case for a relational database
- Defining the functional requirements for the database
- Designing the database schema
- Developing the logical specifications
- Building and populating the database
- Creating queries and views to demonstrate the database's capabilities
- Developing a graphical user interface (GUI) for user interaction
- Microsoft SQL Server Management System (SSMS)
- Microsoft Visual Basic (.NET)
- Microsoft Word & Excel
- ER diagramming tools: lucid.app or erdplus.com
- Online resources: Stack Overflow (www.Stackflow.com)
- Free image resources: Freepik.com
- Color scheme inspiration: colorsinspo.com
- Create the database: Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to create a new database named lab3.
- Populate the database: Execute the SQL script lab3.sql in SSMS to populate the database with necessary tables and data.
- Connecting VB.NET to the Database
- Open database.vb: Locate the database.vb file in your project.
- Modify the connection string: Edit the sqlcon variable's value in the database module to match your SSMS server name.
- Replace "Add Your Server Name on SSMS eg: Legion-5\SQLEXPRESS" with the actual name of your server.
- Ensure the correct authentication method (Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication) is used.
Public sqlcon As New SqlConnection("server=YOUR_SERVER_NAME;database=lab3;Integrated Security=True")
Use code with caution.
- Build and run the application: Compile and run your VB.NET application.
- Note: Replace YOUR_SERVER_NAME with the actual name of your SQL Server instance.
