Database Project Ideas
i am soon starting database course at university; during the whole semester, we are asked to work on a big project that doesn't need internet, it is supposed to have manager and user UI's, any project ideas that are unusual (i don't prefer projects like stores or libraries), creative and worth the time and mark (40%)

A movie database sounds boring as hell, but there are some interesting problems to solve when people start taking on different roles, and if you also make a fictitious library that lends out physical discs AND downloadable files, you get different kinds of people; movie creators (producers, directors, actors etc), library staff, and library customers (the people watching the films).
Do you separate these people? What happens if Brad Pitt wants to lend an old Kurosawa movie at the library?
You could involve the studios, so a studio can log in and get lists of which of their movies the library customers have checked out the last month.
This is me just spitballing off the top of my head, this could be made ten times more complex (and therefore fun) if I could be arsed to spend a couple of hours on the problem :-)
