1.1 Background of the Study
Transaction processing is a term that refers to the adding, changing, deleting, or looking up of a record in a data file or database by entering the data at a terminal or workstation. Most transaction processing systems also include a method of ensuring that all the information entered as a transaction is simultaneously saved. When a large number of transactions are taken and then stored to be dealt with at a later time, the process is known as batch processing. Different examples of transaction processing include automated teller machines, credit card authorizations, online bill payments, self-checkout stations at grocery stores, the trading of stocks over the Internet, and various other forms of electronic commerce.At the center of most commercial interactions is a transaction so, every business has to deal with its commercial transactions in some form. How a company decides to manage these transactions can be an important factor in its success. As a business grows, the number of transactions it must manage usually grows as well. Careful planning must be done in order to ensure that transaction management does not become too complex. Transaction processing is a tool that can help growing businesses deal with their increasing number of transactions.
Every event management organization need to keep proper records of transaction and process them. Achieving this manually is possible but also time consuming. To facilitate proper record keeping and processing of transaction, an automated system is needed. Automating the records for music and event management will guarantee efficient management of the business organization. Reports about music and events to be conducted can be easily retrieved. It is in view of the need to implement a transaction processing system for event management that necessitated this study.
