Abstract

This thesis describes the conversion of a DOS-based database system to meet very specific web-based database requirements of the West Virginia State Police. The need for conversion was proposed by the West Virginia State Police in January of 2007. The conversion process given here: allows for normalization of all data; to make the process of inventory management easier for employees of the West Virginia State Police (WVSP); enumerates inventory management problems currently being faced by the WVSP; presents a brief explanation of databases and the database model being used; and provides the initial requirements, specifications for this system These requirements for the new database system will minimize current problems faced by the WVSP. A first prototype was developed and is presented as well as part of this thesis.
