Library management using python & MySQL


Dev/Editor: Pavan Ananth Sharma & MK Akash

Introduction:

This is an intermediate project which is a user-friendly library management system that allows you to:

  • Add book with details
  • Delete books
  • View listed books
  • Issue books to students/anyone
  • Return books

Output:


Dependencies:

  • tkinter
  • pillow
  • pymysql
  • MySQL should be instaled

Code to download dependencies:

pip install tk
pip install pillow
pip install pymysql

Note: we need to install tk which is tkinter and pillow which is PIL, so dont worry and install these dependencies using the above code.



IMPORTANT STEP

  • Make sure you have installed MySQL for your OS, if not follow this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3B3OonC2AU&t=343s Not sponcered
  • Follow the above video carefully and we recommend to use the password as root
  • After you have successfully installed and tested now you will need to run a few commands before running the main.py
  • Open MySQL 8.0(or any version) Command Line Client using windows key and searching it if you use windows
  • Enter the password in this case we use root
  • then we run show databases; to show the existing databases
  • We add our data based which we will call db code for it : create database db;
  • Then we run : create table books(bid varchar(20) primary key, title varchar(30), author varchar(30), status varchar(30));
  • Last but not the least we enter: create table books_issued(bid varchar(20) primary key, issuedto varchar(30));
  • So basically we created 2 tables inside a database named db with multiple access elements
  • Now to enter into the database you have created use teh code: use db;
  • Now to ckeck the tables you have created you can say ener : show tablesl;
  • To see the elements inside the tables (for example books) code: select * from books;
  • Similarly to use the elements insie the table books_issued run the code: select * from books_issued;

Usecase / run:

if you want to run the code you will need to run : main.py
  • If you have followed all the steps correctly as soon as you run main.py the UI will popup then as as soon as you add a book by filling the information(case sensitive), you can now get to the CLI of MYSql and run: select * from books; and this will display if you have added any book into the database.
  • Similarly after you have deleted any book you can run the same code to verify if it has been deleted from the database system.
  • When you issue a book then if you want to check who have you given it to enter the code: select * fom books_issued; to find the name and book ID (bid).
  • After you have created a book and then issued it to anyone you can see the status of the book change by again going into the books_issued table for that we use the code: select * from books; if you have followed you shouold see the change in the status of the book(if Avail before now it would have updated to issued).
  • If you have got all of them then congratulations you have done an amazing job
