A.
Describe problems that are likely to occur when inserting, updating, and deleting data in these
spreadsheets.
(20 points)
Note: Don’t use general terms “redundancy” or “loss of information” to describe the
problems. Describe at least one specific problem for EACH case (insert, update, delete). For
instance, you should write “if I update column X in list Y, the problem is….”
1.
For the (
PROPERTY Table
), if we were to insert a new Owner (
OwnerName
,
OwnerEmail
,
OwnerType
) that has not enlist a property yet, then we would have
empty cells with regards to the
PropertyName, PropertyAddress
. The same can be
said for the (
SERVICE Table
), in which if were to just insert a new employee, then
we might have empty cells on services and properties.
For the (
PROPERTY Table
), if we were to update the
Owner email
of DT
enterprises, then we would be required to update at least two rows, in which it’s
possible to lose information because you’re typing an email id having multiple
characters. There is a similar problem in the (
SERVICE Table
), if we were to update
the
PhoneNumber
for John Evanston, we would need to update at least three rows.
For the (
PROPERTY Table
), if DT Enterprises does not own any property now, then
we would be deleting all information about them, such as
OwnerName
,
OwnerEmail,
etc
. In the (
SERVICE Table
), if we were to delete the “Garden Weed Control”
service from the list, then we would lose all information about Dale Murray.
B.
Split both
PROPERTY
table and
SERVICE
table into multiple tables such that each has
only one theme.
(30 points)
Note: Don’t lose information when you split the tables!
