An example of a derived attribute is your Grade Point Average which is calculated by adding together a score for each unit (e.g., HD=4, D=3, C=2, P=1, N=0) and dividing that by the number of units you have completed. Explain how the decision as to whether the Grade Point Average would be stored in a table or calculated would be made. You are administering a database in a large retail company that records sales at each of the company’s stores. Tuning the database to improve performance by adding indexes and optimising query execution is an important ongoing aspect of the physical database design.
