2. INTRODUCTION

Indian airlines is totally dependent on its database system. Database system are very much

required in Indian airlines for keeping the record and for purpose like reservation of tickets

,keeping track record of flights various records related to profit and loss to airlines,

Database regarding employee working in Indian airlines as it works as a big group. IndianAirlines or India is an airline based in Mumbai, India, and focuses primarily on domestic routes,

along with several international services to neighbouring countries in Asia. Indian Airlines is

state-owned, and is administered by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It is one of the two flag

carriers of India, the other being Air India.

Though the company that owns and operates the airline continues to be named Indian Airlines

Limited, on 7 December 2005, the airline was rebranded as Indian for advertising purposes as a

part of a program to revamp its image in preparation for an initial public offering (IPO). The

airline operates closely with Air India, India's national carrier. Alliance Air , a fully-owned

subsidiary of Indian Airlines, was renamed Air India Regional.

In 2007, the Government of India announced that Indian Airlines would be merged into Air India.

As part of the merger process, a new company called the National Aviation Company of India

Limited (NACIL) was established, into which both Air India (along with Air India Express) and

Indian Airlines] (along with Alliance Air ) will be merged. Once the merger is complete, the

airline - which will be called Air India - will continue to be headquartered in Mumbai and will

have a fleet of over 130 aircraft.

Let us make a table for customer details, in this table some of the attributes will be alloted with

some unique but not null value,therefore a primary key is assigned to them. The following

command will make a customer detail table

Indian came into being with the enactment of the Air Corporations Act, 1953.It was renamed

Indian on December 7, 2005 from its earlier name Indian Airlines. Indian Airlines started its

operations from 1st August, 1953 with a fleet of 99 aircraft and was the outcome of the merger of

seven former independent airlines namely Deccan Airways, Airways-India, Bharat Airways,

Himalayan Aviation, Kalinga Air Lines, Indian National Airways and Air Services of India. The

year 1964 saw the Indian Airlines moving into the jet era with the introduction of Caravelle

aircraft into its fleet followed by Boeing 737-200s in the early 70s. Along with its wholly ownedsubsidiary Alliance Air, it flies a fleet of 70 aircraft including Airbus A300s, Airbus A320s,

Airbus A319s, Boeing 737s, Dornier Do-228, ATR-4, Airbus A319, A320s & A321s. Alongwith

Indian cities, it flies to many foreign destinations which include Kuwait, Singapore, Oman, UAE,

Qatar, Bahrain, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar besides Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal,

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives

Indian Airlines' free run over the Indian skies ended with the entry of private carriers after the

liberalization of the Indian economy in the early 1990's when many private airlines like Jet

Airways, Air Sahara, East-West Airlines and ModiLuft entered the fray. The entry of low-cost

airlines like Air Deccan, Kingfisher Airlines and SpiceJet has revolutionized the Indian aviation

scenario.

Indian has been a pioneer in the aviation scene in India. It was the first airline in India to

introduce the wide-bodied A300 aircraft on the domestic network, the fly-by-wire A320, walk in

flights and easy fares. It flies to 76 destinations - 58 within India and 18 abroad. It has a total

employee strength of around 19300 employees along with Alliance Air and carries over 7.5

million passengers annually, along with Alliance Air.



Videcom Reservations System is an integrated Passenger processing system including inventory,

fares, ticketless operations and credit card transactions. All communications are via TCP/IPnetwork protocol enabling the using of both intranet and Internet communications worldwide

The solution includes several standard items from Videcom, which are combined to provide an

integrated solution with interfaces to other business systems. The system is based on open

architecture, using industry standard equipment and software. The open nature of VRS allows

the addition of new systems and features, ensuring that the VRS system can be adapted to keep

up with the changing requirements of the airline business.

The VRS suite of software includes the following functions:

• Reservations

• Flight Inventory

• Fares



• Ticketing - Ticketless module

• GUI Check-in from Ticketed list

• ADS Airport Data Server

The Videcom Reservations System contains information and facilities to support airline

reservations and ticketing. The information is stored in a central database and is accessed by

agents and other users via various methods including web browsers, Graphical user Interfaces

and native terminal screens.

Inventory & Flights Database

Flights may be entered as far ahead as required without limitation using the flight inventory GUI. Native transactions support reservations up to 1 year ahead. The flights maybe specified within a

particular date range and may be activated for specific days of the week.

For availability there are 12 buckets which may be used to display different classes of service

and different fares within a specific seating class. Sell from availability when it has been

displayed and a simple entry is used to sell seats. A direct sale may be made using a long hand

entry if the flight details are fully known.

PNR Details (Passenger Name Record)

Flight Segments are stored inside the Passenger Name Record and up to 99 names may be stored

in each PNR. Ticket Time Limit when set automatically cancels the flight segment and releases

the inventory if a ticket has not been issued by the expiration date. Alternatively the PNR may be

sent to a queue.

• Ticket Control details of issued tickets are stored and can form the basis of invoicing

procedures.

• General FAX entries may be made to include general OSI/SSR information in the

booking.

• Airport FAX can be included where specific OSI/SSR information is required by the

airport.



• Tour Operator details Tour Code identifiers for specific packages may be included.

Lists

Comprehensive Lists for the reservation system includes:

• All passengers with reservations for the flight.

• Wait List just those passengers who are wait listed

City/Number queues are used to present PNR information where agent intervention is required.

Queue information is normally posted to the queue automatically or may be sent by an agent.

Security

All user/agents are allocated a SINE code which is used during sine-on and then appended to all

transactions carried out by the agent. Different security levels may be assigned so that different

agents can access different areas of the system and also different records in the case where a

travel agent is only allowed to review PNR's that have been created by that agency.

Fares

A variety of fares may be entered in to the system that include a period of validity and

conversion in to different currencies.

The system includes on-line itinerary pricing.

Architecture

VRS is based on a multiple processor design, configured to simulate the architecture of a

traditional mainframe CRS. This approach successfully combines the proven techniques of a

traditional CRS with the advantages and economies of a PC platform and databases.

To support a large number of sessions, the processing task is layered and split between multiple

processors where additional session processors may be introduced to support additional system

users.



The core database that stores flight inventory, passenger details, fares and ticketing etc is

accessed through a Microsoft ADO connection and therefore may be selected from a number of

leading industry products including ORACLE™, DB2™, Informix™, successful

implementations are currently using Microsoft SQL Server™ .

Distribution

The distribution layer is flexible and provides support for several different users a connection

methods:

Native Terminal Emulator - provides basic support using a VT style terminal interface where the

agent must be trained to know all the transaction codes.

GUI - Graphical User Interface a basic GUI is provided to support rapid ticket sales and

reservations. The operators may assign popular trips and destinations to the function buttons to

enable the complete booking/sales process to be completed with just a few keystrokes.

Check-in - The check-in GUI provides a range of features including multiple passenger check-in

with just a single mouse click and moving passengers from one flights to another. These features

are designed to reduce the time required to handle passengers at a busy airport desk where a

variety of transactions ranging from ticket purchase to change flight must be handled.

VRS - Optional Graphical User Interface is a companion product that provides a more rapid

entry method to the system and is aimed at reservations agents and ticket offices where airline

staff or travel agents may be working.

VidWeb - Optional - Videcom also supplies a website product that enables on line bookings and

ticket sales to made by the general public. The booking engine provides screens that are easy to

use but allow enough flexibility to enable passengers to retrieve their booking and make changes

as well as enrolling the customers in a frequent traveler scheme.

CRS - Optional - support to enable travel agents attached to a GDS or other computer

reservations systems is provided by Videcom's implementation of IATA Air IMP messaging.



Reservation_scheme=(site_code,fl_no,cust_code,travel_date)

Site containing information about the four sites maintains the relation (Cite_scheme), where

Cite_scheme=(Cite_code,Cite_name)

A local transaction is a transaction that accesses information in the one single site, at which the

transaction was initiated. A global transaction, on the other hand is one which either access

accounts in a site different from the one at which the transaction was initiated, or access several

different sites.

Then the advantages are surely obvious: The distributed arrangement combines efficiency of

processing (the data is stored close to the point where it is most frequently used) with increased

accessibility (it is possible to access a Delhi information from Kolkata and vice versa, via the

communication network), reliability and availability and speedup of query processing.

Allowing the structure of the database to mirror the structure of the enterprise is probably the

number one advantage of distributed systems. There are some disadvantages too, of which the

biggest is the fact that distributed systems are complex, software development cost, greater

potential for bugs and increase processing overhead.

As per commercial implementations, most of today’s relational products offer some kind of

distributed database support. Some of the best known include,

(a) INRESS/STAR , from The ASK Group Inc.’s Ingress Division;

(b) the distributed database option of ORCALE8 or later from Oracle Corporation and

(c) the distributed data facility of DB2 from IBM.

It is worth pointing out that all of the systems listed above, both prototypes and products, are

relational.
