For Merit standard, learners will provide evidence of designing and developing a
relational database for a specified scenario that meets client requirements. They
will justify how the decisions made and processes applied throughout the design,
development and testing stages impact on the effectiveness of the final solution.
Learners will produce detailed designs for a relational database. They must develop their
final design using a range of relational database advanced features and functions. They
will carry out testing to refine and improve their database. Learners will analyse the final
design and provide reasoned justification of how it fulfils its purpose and meets client
requirements.
For Pass standard, learners will provide evidence of designing and developing a
relational database for a specified scenario that meets client requirements, although
some small issues may persist. They will explain how the decisions made and processes
applied throughout the design, development and testing stages impact on the
effectiveness of the final solution.
Learners will produce designs for a relational database. They must develop their final
design using a range of database functions and carry out testing. The results of testing
can be used to refine and improve their database. Learners must review the extent to
which the final design meets client requirements, although the review may be
unbalanced.
