Database Projects/5e - Professor Jerry Post

Project Descriptions
all of the advance orders are placed by established clients. To assist the clients,
Orange Blossom wants to keep many of the plan details in the computer system.
Clients will be able to select a project and find the list of plants, along with the
planned locations of each plant. Locations of flowers and small plants are simply
specified in terms of a growing area. Trees and highlight specimens are given
more detailed locations. Traditionally, landscape designers use a grid system.
Each section of the landscape design will be drawn on a scale grid that matches
the property. Each major tree will be displayed as a circle centered on a grid point
that corresponds to a location in the ground. A few designers of large projects
have started listing GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Figure 1 shows the basic information collected on the order form. Large projects
are often completed in stages or phases, so the form has a place for clients to
record that information. Plants are ultimately identified by their species and variety
using specific Latin names. However, general descriptions are provided using
common names. Plants and trees have different types of measurements. Trees are
generally measured by their caliper or diameter, usually in inches. Small shrubs
or flowers can be measured by the container size (such as 1 or 5 gallon). Larger
shrubs or even smaller trees might be measured by height, in feet.
