How to Make Student Database with SQL Server (Easy)
Hello friend. Today we create a database for student management using
Microsoft SQL Server. The SQL statements below are written for SQL
Server Database. Some syntax is different from MySQL such as
IDENTITY instead of AUTO_INCREMENT, and SQL
Server does not support ENUM so we use
CHECK constraints instead.
Check out the same example for MySQL
HERE.

Relationship: Students 1-M Enrollments, Departments 1-M Enrollments, AcademicYears 1-M Enrollments, Enrollments 1-M Payments.

Step 1: Create Database
Firstly, we create a database for holding our tables called StudentManagementDB.
CREATE DATABASE StudentManagementDB;
GO
USE StudentManagementDB;
GO
Step 2: Create Student Table
Now, we create a table to keep student information like name, gender, birthday. We call it tbStudents.
CREATE TABLE tbStudents (
student_id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
first_name VARCHAR(100) NULL,
last_name VARCHAR(100) NULL,
gender CHAR(1) NULL, -- M,F
birth_date DATE NULL,
province VARCHAR(100) NULL
);
Now insert some data
INSERT INTO tbStudents (student_id, first_name, last_name, gender, birth_date, province)
VALUES (1,'sok','sao','M','2000-01-23','Kampot');
INSERT INTO tbStudents (student_id, first_name, last_name, gender, birth_date, province)
VALUES (2,'sokheng','Sou','M','2002-04-13','Takeo');
INSERT INTO tbStudents (student_id, first_name, last_name, gender, birth_date, province) VALUES
(3, 'Vanna', 'Sokha', 'M', '2003-01-10', 'Takeo'),
(4, 'Srey', 'Pich', 'F', '2002-11-05', 'Kampong Cham'),
(5, 'Rithy', 'Chantha', 'M', '2000-06-30', 'Battambang'),
(6, 'Sokun', 'Sophea', 'F', '2001-09-12', 'Siem Reap'),
(7, 'Dara', 'Vichea', 'M', '2002-04-18', 'Prey Veng'),
(8, 'Sreynich', 'Ly', 'F', '2003-02-25', 'Svay Rieng'),
(9, 'Borey', 'Kim', 'M', '2001-12-01', 'Kampot'),
(10, 'Sreyneang', 'Huot', 'F', '2002-08-09', 'Kep'),
(11, 'Piseth', 'Meng', 'M', '2000-05-20', 'Kampong Speu'),
(12, 'Sokunthea', 'Chea', 'F', '2001-10-14', 'Kampong Thom'),
(13, 'Narin', 'Phan', 'M', '2002-07-07', 'Pursat'),
(14, 'Sreymao', 'Tan', 'F', '2003-03-11', 'Koh Kong'),
(15, 'Visal', 'Heng', 'M', '2001-01-29', 'Banteay Meanchey'),
(16, 'Sopheap', 'Oun', 'F', '2002-06-16', 'Oddar Meanchey'),
(17, 'Kosal', 'Lim', 'M', '2000-09-03', 'Pailin'),
(18, 'Sreyka', 'Sin', 'F', '2003-05-22', 'Ratanakiri'),
(19, 'Chenda', 'Long', 'M', '2002-12-19', 'Mondulkiri'),
(20, 'Sreylen', 'Keo', 'F', '2001-04-27', 'Kratie'),
(21, 'Vichea', 'Touch', 'M', '2000-11-13', 'Stung Treng'),
(22, 'Sokha', 'Yim', 'F', '2002-02-08', 'Preah Vihear'),
(23, 'Ratha', 'Nhem', 'M', '2001-06-17', 'Kampong Chhnang'),
(24, 'Sreypov', 'Chun', 'F', '2003-09-01', 'Tbong Khmum'),
(25, 'Bunna', 'Sam', 'M', '2002-10-10', 'Takeo'),
(26, 'Sreychan', 'Chhim', 'F', '2001-03-23', 'Kandal'),
(27, 'Dalin', 'Sok', 'F', '2002-07-30', 'Phnom Penh'),
(28, 'Sothea', 'Mean', 'M', '2000-08-05', 'Battambang'),
(29, 'Sreyroth', 'Prak', 'F', '2003-01-14', 'Siem Reap'),
(30, 'Phalla', 'Nuon', 'M', '2001-12-28', 'Kampot'),
(31, 'Sok', 'Dara', 'M', '2002-03-15', 'Phnom Penh'),
(32, 'Chan', 'Sreymom', 'F', '2001-07-21', 'Kandal');
Step 3: Create Academic Year Table
Now let create academic year table with auto increment ID that hold information like 2025 to 2026, 2026 to 2027.
CREATE TABLE tbAcademic_years (
academic_id TINYINT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
start_year CHAR(4) NOT NULL, -- 2026
end_year CHAR(4) NOT NULL -- 2027
);
Insert some sample data:
INSERT INTO tbAcademic_years (start_year, end_year)
VALUES ('2025','2026'),('2026','2027'),('2027','2028'),('2028','2029'),('2029','2030');
Step 4: Create Department Table
What department student study? Computer Science? Khmer? or Other, We create tbDepartments table as below.
CREATE TABLE tbDepartments (
department_id SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
is_active BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT (1),
created_at DATETIME DEFAULT (SYSUTCDATETIME())
);
Note: SQL Server does not support
ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. If you want automatic update of
updated_at, use a trigger (optional).
Now let insert sample data:
INSERT INTO tbDepartments (name)
VALUES ('Computer Science'),('Khmer Literature'),('Enligh Language'),('Mathematics'),('Physics'),('Chemistry');
Step 5: Create Enrollment Table
Now let create enrollment table which records students, department and academic year with relationship to student, department and academic year table. Note that student can enroll in multiple departments and academic years, so we need to use foreign keys to link them together.
CREATE TABLE tbEnrollments (
enroll_id INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
student_id INT NOT NULL, -- FK
academic_id TINYINT NOT NULL, -- FK
department_id SMALLINT NOT NULL,-- FK
study_year TINYINT NOT NULL,
is_active BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT (1),
created_at DATETIME DEFAULT (SYSUTCDATETIME()),
FOREIGN KEY (student_id) REFERENCES tbStudents (student_id)
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY (academic_id) REFERENCES tbAcademic_years (academic_id)
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY (department_id) REFERENCES tbDepartments (department_id)
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
);
Let insert sample data:
INSERT INTO tbEnrollments (student_id, academic_id, department_id, study_year)
VALUES (1,1,1,1),(2,1,1,2),(3,1,2,1),(4,2,1,1),(5,1,1,2),(6,1,1,1),(7,1,1,2),(8,1,2,2),(9,1,2,2);
INSERT INTO tbEnrollments (student_id, academic_id, department_id, study_year)
VALUES (1,1,3,1),(2,1,2,2),(3,1,1,1);
Step 6: Create Payment Table
After student enrolled in any department, then they need to pay for it. It can be pay for semester or full year of tuition fee, certificate or other.
CREATE TABLE tbPayments (
payment_id BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
enroll_id INT NOT NULL, -- FK
student_id INT NOT NULL, -- FK
semester VARCHAR(10) CHECK (semester IS NULL OR semester IN ('first','second','full')),
amount DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL CHECK (amount > 0),
payment_methods VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL CHECK (payment_methods IN ('cash','bank','KHQR','Other')),
payment_types VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL CHECK (payment_types IN ('tuition','exam','transcript','other')),
status VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL CHECK (status IN ('paid','pending','refund')) DEFAULT ('pending'),
remark VARCHAR(255) NULL,
is_deletd BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT (0),
created_at DATETIME DEFAULT (SYSUTCDATETIME()),
FOREIGN KEY (student_id) REFERENCES tbStudents (student_id) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY (enroll_id) REFERENCES tbEnrollments (enroll_id) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
);
Let insert some sample data:
INSERT INTO tbPayments
(enroll_id, student_id, semester, amount, payment_methods, payment_types, status, remark)
VALUES
(1, 1, 'first', 250.00, 'cash', 'tuition', 'paid', 'First semester tuition fee'),
(2, 2, NULL, 10.00, 'cash', 'transcript', 'paid', NULL);
Let insert more sample data:
INSERT INTO tbPayments (enroll_id, student_id, semester, amount, payment_methods, payment_types, status, remark) VALUES
(1, 1, 'first', 250.00, 'bank', 'tuition', 'paid', 'First semester tuition fee'),
(2, 2, 'first', 250.00, 'KHQR', 'tuition', 'paid', 'First semester tuition fee'),
(3, 3, 'first', 250.00, 'cash', 'tuition', 'pending', 'Awaiting payment'),
(4, 4, 'first', 250.00, 'bank', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Full payment'),
(5, 5, 'first', 250.00, 'KHQR', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Full payment'),
(1, 1, NULL, 15.00, 'cash', 'transcript', 'paid', 'Official transcript request'),
(2, 2, NULL, 20.00, 'cash', 'other', 'paid', 'ID card replacement fee'),
(6, 6, 'first', 250.00, 'bank', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Full payment'),
(7, 7, 'first', 100.00, 'cash', 'tuition', 'pending', 'Partial payment'),
(8, 8, NULL, 5.00, 'cash', 'exam', 'paid', 'Resit exam fee'),
(3, 3, 'first', 500.00, 'bank', 'tuition', 'paid', 'First semester tuition fee'),
(4, 4, 'first', 250.00, 'KHQR', 'tuition', 'pending', 'First installment'),
(5, 5, 'first', 500.00, 'bank', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Full payment for first semester'),
(6, 6, 'first', 500.00, 'cash', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Full payment'),
(7, 7, 'second',500.00, 'KHQR', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Second semester tuition fee'),
(8, 8, NULL, 25.00, 'cash', 'exam', 'paid', 'Resit exam fee'),
(9, 9, 'first', 500.00, 'bank', 'tuition', 'paid', 'Full payment'),
(10, 1,'second',500.00, 'KHQR', 'tuition', 'pending', 'Awaiting payment for second semester'),
(11, 2, NULL, 15.00, 'cash', 'other', 'paid', 'Library fine'),
(12, 3, NULL, 10.00, 'cash', 'transcript', 'paid', 'Transcript request');
