The connector selection program is a database application that allows engineers to locate information about connectors that meet their requirements. This document describes the design and implementation of the database, the data input application, and the user interface. Nijssen's Information Analysis Methodology (NIAM) was used to characterize the connector data requirements which yielded the database design. This design was transformed into database record structures that were implemented in the relational database management software ORACLE. After the database was in place, data input screens were created to capture the connector data, analyze it, and place it in the proper database record structures. Finally, a user interface was designed and developed that displays or prints the information contained in the database, associated drawings, and documentation related to the program and its data.
