This is a book management system created to maintain the database for the society library. Currently in C++ and MySQL, the first version is complete. This will be updated in the future to a Windows Application using Visual Studio. The following assumptions have been made as of now (Which are based on the rules in my society):
- Only one card can be created per flat
- Only one book can be issued at a time per card
- There are no fines for late returns
- Admins use weak passwords, because the database used is not secure
- There are no deliberate SQL injection attacks by the librarians, which would wipe the database
To use this code, note the following points:
- Compile with
g++ -o l LibrarySystem.cpp -L/usr/lib -lmysqlcppconn - At the start, both username and password are "admin". You can remove this at any point, but if there are no admins, then the program will automatically default to this setting.
##Setup your Environment
sudo apt-get install libmysqlcppconn-dev
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo mysql
After logging into mysql, do the following:
USE mysql;
CREATE user 'user'@'localhost' identified by 'Password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON LibraryManagement.* TO 'user'@'localhost';
Now you can exit mysql, and compile the program as follows:
g++ -o l LibrarySystem.cpp -L/usr/lib -lmysqlcppconn
Use the program as follows:
./l
