[Database class] (Database Course) trouble in testing and running last Gold Winner's project

[Paul S. Wang]

Tianning,

We had no problem with this project.  So you should figure out how
to install it correctly.  You also need to realize that the student
database it relied on is no longer there on the server dbdev.cs.kent.edu.

Also you will note that "application login" and "database
login"  are two different things.   Imagine a clerk login to a
hotel management application and that application will then login
to a database it depends on.

I am sending this to the class list.
