Note: Archived and read-only. Kept for reference from the Visual Programming college course.

A simple Windows GUI application ("Neon Hotel") built with C++Builder (VCL framework), for the Visual Programming college course. It manages hotel events, guest types and guest registrations against a PostgreSQL database, behind a login screen with role-based access (admin).

Tech stack

• C++Builder project (NeonHotel.cbproj, VCL Application/Win32 target)
• PostgreSQL, accessed through VCL data-aware components (TQuery/dataset params) bound to .dfm forms

Units

• MainUnit — login form; validates credentials against the Users table and routes admins to the events screen.
• EventsUnit — lists/manages hotel events.
• EventTypesUnit — manages the event type catalog.
• EventGuestsUnit / EventGuestAttendeesUnit — manage guests and attendee details for an event.
• GuestTypesUnit — manages the guest type catalog.

Each unit has a .cpp/.h/.dfm triple (VCL form + generated code + implementation).

Database schema

model/ contains the PostgreSQL DDL and seed data, applied in order: create-enums.sql, create-tables.sql (Events, Event_Types, Users, Guest_Types, and related guest/attendee tables), add-constraints.sql, then the insert*.sql seed files.

Running

Requires Embarcadero C++Builder (or RAD Studio) to open NeonHotel.cbproj and build for Win32, plus a PostgreSQL instance with the schema from model/ applied and the VCL data connection components configured to point at it.
