Attached is the solution i made to the sample task released by OCR, it has been created using Python (version 3) with the use of the SQLite3 library.
An SQL database was created called students to store the information needed.
The program allows the user to log in and do the following:
1. Enter and store the students details
2. Recall a students details (need ID number)
3. Show all students
4. Show students by gender
5. Show students by form
6. Delete a Student
7. Log out
the data in the database was created using a random name/street generator.
Here you will find the resources to complete unit 18 in the level 3 Cambridge Technicals.
All of the Learning Objectives have been covered and the lessons contain notes from the chief moderator from OCR.
Also attached is a sample of how you could complete the practical element to the assignment, although you can choose another method!
The assignment which has been used has also been checked using the Assignment Checking service from OCR. (Service is £30 per assignment)
