Database Design Projects with ER Diagrams — 35+ Free DBMS Schemas for BSIT Capstones (2026)

itsourcecode.com hosts 35+ free database design projects with ER diagrams and SQL schemas (2026) — complete entity-relationship diagrams, table structures, and primary/foreign key mappings for the most common capstone domains. Each design ships with a clean ERD image, a list of tables with attributes, and the relationships you need to populate Chapter 3 of your capstone documentation. MySQL-ready. Browse by domain below.

Why a documented database design is the most-skipped step in BSIT capstones

Three reasons panels reject capstones at the defense even with working code: (1) Chapter 3 has no proper ERD — a screenshot from MySQL Workbench is not a design document. You need entities, attributes, relationships, cardinalities, and normalization notes. (2) Foreign keys are inconsistent — the live schema doesn’t match the ERD in the documentation. Panels catch this immediately. (3) No normalization rationale — your panel asks “is this 3NF?” and you blank. Use the designs below as templates to avoid all three failures.
