This comprehensive SQL script covers the creation of all the necessary tables for the Beauty Salon app, integrating all the modules and their respective functionalities. By running this script, you can set up the backend database structure for your app, ready for further development and integration with the front-end and business logic components.
Enhancing the Admin Management Module with Search and Filtering Options
To add search and filtering capabilities for the admin within the Admin Management Module, we need to enhance our database design and consider how the SQL queries will be structured. This functionality will enable administrators to efficiently search and filter through users, salons, beauticians, and services.
Updated Entities and Attributes for Search and Filtering
The entities do not need additional attributes for search and filtering, but the implementation of search and filtering will involve writing SQL queries to handle these functionalities.
SQL Queries for Search and Filtering
Search Users
- Admins can search users by name, email, phone, and address
SELECT * FROM User
WHERE Name LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Email LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Phone LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Address LIKE '%search_term%';
Search Salons
- Admins can search salons by name, address, and phone.
SELECT * FROM Salon
WHERE Name LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Address LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Phone LIKE '%search_term%';
Search Beauticians
- Admins can search beauticians by name, email, and phone.
SELECT * FROM Beautician
WHERE Name LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Email LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Phone LIKE '%search_term%';
Search Services
- Admins can search services by name and description.
SELECT * FROM Service
WHERE Name LIKE '%search_term%' OR
Description LIKE '%search_term%';
Filtering Options
Filter Users by Registration Date
- Admins can filter users by a date range.
SELECT * FROM User
WHERE Created_At BETWEEN 'start_date' AND 'end_date';
Filter Salons by Owner
- Admins can filter salons by owner (User).
SELECT * FROM Salon
WHERE OwnerID = owner_id;
Filter Beauticians by Salon
- Admins can filter beauticians by salon.
SELECT * FROM Beautician
WHERE SalonID = salon_id;
Filter Services by Price Range
- Admins can filter services by a price range
SELECT * FROM Service
WHERE Price BETWEEN min_price AND max_price;
Adding search and filtering options to the Admin Management Module greatly enhances the admin’s ability to manage the platform efficiently. By implementing the provided SQL queries and ensuring that the backend API supports these functionalities, administrators can easily search and filter through various entities within the Beauty Salon app. This added functionality will improve the overall management experience and operational efficiency.
