This homework aims to analyze schemas to determine dependencies and convert them to BCNF. Remember to state any assmptions you make. 1. Suppose we have the Schema R(A, B, C, D, E) and the dependencies: Dependency A > B, C C, D→E B> D E > A Туре a. Identify a correct primary key for the table using the relational schema notation (i.e., bold and underline) given the dependencies above. R(A, B, С, D, E) b. Identify each dependency as functional, full, partial, transitive, or multivalued. Place your answer in the table above. list

Consider the relational schemas given below and the respective sets of functional dependencies valid in the schemas. C(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) ?????????? ??????????: C,H > G A>BC B > CFH D > A F > EG (i) Find all the minimal super keys of the relational table ?. List the derivations of all minimal keys.(ii) Identify the highest normal form of the relational table ?. Remember that the identification of a normal form requires analysis of the valid functional dependencies.(iii) Decompose the relational table ? into minimal number of normalized relational tables in BCNF. Remember to indicate the primary key and foreign keys (if any).
52. Which functional dependency violates the 3NF requirements in a relational schema where attributes AA, AB, BC form a composite primary key and attribute EF is a single candidate key: R (AA, AB,CD, DE, EF, FG)? A: EF -> FG B: (AA, AB, BC) -> CO C: (AA, AB, BC) -> EF D: FG-> CO
Consider the following relational schema for a library database: Book (Title, Author, Catalog_no, Publisher, Year, Price, bookCoverType, contractDate) Collection (Title, Author, Catalog_no) Assume {Author, Title} is the key for both relations Additional functional dependencies are Title,Author --> Catalog_no Catalog_no --> Publisher, Year, bookCoverType Publisher, bookCoverType --> Price Author --> contractDate a) Explain what normal form the relation is in. b) Apply normalization until the 3rd State reasons behind each normalization
What is the most common method of specifying a primary key in a relational schema description? Group of choice: A. by enclosing the key attributes in parentheses B. by stating the key attributes first in the relation definition C. by writing key attributes in all capital letters D. by italicizing the key attributes E. by underlining the attributes that comprise the primary key
Transform the diagram to a relational schema that shows referential integrity constraints (see the following figure for an example of such a schema – underlined items are primary keys, dotted underlines refer to foreign keys, while the arrows indicate direction from foreign to primary)
Explain the concept of functional dependency in the context of database normalization. How does it relate to the Second Normal Form (2NF) and Third Normal Form (3NF)?
You are required to: Provide a normalized relational logical schema for the same database (NB It is not mandatory to report the restructured ER diagram) Define referential integrity constraints for 2 relationships of your choice among those defined in the conceptual schema solution: AUTHOR( author_id , name, surname) BOOK ( ISBN , title , num_page s , price ) CUSTOMER( customer_id , phone_number*, type, name*, surname*, vat_number*) CLERK( clerk_id , name) BUY( customer_id, clerk_id, ISBN ) WRITTEN_BY( author_id, ISBN ) 1) WRITTEN_BY (author_id) REFERENCES AUTHOR(author_id) WRITTEN_BY (ISBN) REFERENCES BOOK(ISBN) 2) BUY(customer_id) REFERENCES CUSTOMER(customer_id) BUY (clerk_id) REFERENCES CLERK(clerk_id) BUY (ISBN) REFERENCES BOOK (ISBN) i gave the solution. but i do not have any idea where it came from and how im supposed to formulate a similar solution so please help me understand how was this was reached and how i should solve these type of questions in…
a. Identify all dependencies, including all transitive dependencies. b. write a relational schema (shorthand notation) to meet 3NF reqirements. Unless a 2NF structure is more accurate then use that and explain why. c. draw a crows foot ERD using this information
Q1:At this point, you have created a variety of database objects in your schema. Use an Oracle tool to identify all the direct and indirect dependencies on the BB_BASKET table, and produce dependency lists in two different formats. Identify each object as a direct or an indirect dependency, and describe the path of dependency for each indirectly dependent object.
Given the following dependencies, convert the following schema to 3NF PatientNo, PrescriptionNo -> Name, DOB, Address, Drug, Date, Dosage, DoctorNo, Doctor_Specialist PatientNo -> Name, DOB, Address PrescriptionNo -> Drug, Date, Dosage, DoctorNo, Doctor_Specialist, PatientNo DoctorNo -> Doctor_Specialist
What is the purpose of denormalization? Whymight you not want to create one physical tableor file for each relation in a logical data model?
1. According to what you understand, what is the relationship between Functional Dependency and Normalization? 2. There are several attribute relationships, including partial dependency and transitive, give an example of the two relationships. 3. Why do we do the normalization stage in database design, especially in the logical stage?
