- Map (or transform) EER Model diagram below into a relational database schema. Take into account all the constraints in your EER model. Underline the primary key attributes of each relation and show each foreign key as a directed arrow from the referencing attribute(s) to the referenced attribute(s) in the referenced relation.arrow_forward. For each item below, specify whether the statement is true (T) or false (F). Each Database Management System (DBMS) is based on a Data Model. Database Users may desire to perform conflicting operations at the same time.

Concurrency features of a DBMS prevents them from reserving the same seat, therefore avoiding inconsistent database states.

- Let us consider the following relational database. Students(stuID, lastName, firstName, major, gpa) Faculty(facID, name, deptName, rank) Classes(classNhmber, facID, schedule, room) Enrolls(stuID, classNumber, grade) The primary keys are underlined. The referential integrity constraints are as follows: The column facID of relation Classes that references table Faculty, The column of stuID of relation Enrolls that references table Students, and The column classNumber of relation Enrolls that references table Classes. The following SQL statement is intended to define the table Students. However, this statement does not work correctly. CREAT TABLE Students( lastName VARCHAR(20), firstName VARCHAR(20), major VARCHAR(40) gpa DECIMAL(3,2), PRIMARY KEY(stuID)); However, this statement does not work correctly. Briefly explain why and list the corrected SQL statement.arrow_forwardQUESTION 17 Consider the database schema below for cities in countries. A country have many cities, and the same city name can be found in different countries. Country (ID: integer, Name: String (unique)) City (serialNo: integer (unique, not null), CountryID: Integer, CityName: String, Population: integer) The same country name can be repeated with two different IDs in Country relation? No, violates key constraint. No, violates entity Integrity constraint No, violates domain constraints. No, violates referential integrity constraint. Yes.arrow_forward4. (a) Why is normalization important in database design? Consider the universal relation R = {A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J} and the set of functional dependencies F = { AB → C, A → DE, B → F, F → GH, D → IJ }.What is the key for R? Decompose R into 2NF (Second Normal Form) and then 3NF (Third Normal Form) relations. (b) Consider a relation schema R = (X, Y, Z) on which the following functional dependencies hold: { XY → Z, Z → X }. Show that the schema R is not in BCNF (Boyce-Codd Normal Form) but it is in 3NF (Third Normal Form).arrow_forward

Explain it.c) Decompose R into 3NF relations step by step if it is not in 3NF.arrow_forwardRead the following business rules carefully and use common sense when necessary to come up with a good database design as follows: 1- First, develop an ER model. Make sure to use meaningful entity names and relations. 2- Translate ER model into a set of tables, relations and constraints. 3- Label appropriate columns as primary keys and foreign keys. Business rules: A patient can make many appointments with one or more doctors in the clinic, and a doctor can accept appointments with many patients. However, each appointment is made with only one doctor and one patient. Emergency cases do not require an appointment. However, for appointment management purposes, an emergency is entered in the appointment book as “unscheduled.” If kept, an appointment yields a visit with the doctor specified in the appointment. The visit yields a diagnosis and, when appropriate, treatment. With each visit, the patient’s records are updated to provide a medical history Each patient visit…arrow_forward
- QUESTION 7 Consider the database schema below: Company (ID: integer, Name: String (unique), Address) Department (No: integer, CompanyID: Integer, DepartmentName: String) Is it valid to have the same Company name to be repeated with two different IDs in Company relation? Yes. No, violates key constraint. No, violates entity Integrity constraint No, violates referential integrity constraint. No, violates domain constraints.arrow_forwardLet us consider the following relational database. Students(stuID, lastName, firstName, major, gpa) Faculty(facID, name, deptName, rank) Classes(classNumber, facID, schedule, room) Enrolls(stuID, classNumber, grade) The column facID of relation Classes that references the table Faculty, The column StuID of relation Enrolls that references table Students, and The column classNunber of relation Enrolls that references table Classes. The following SQL statement is intended to add a record to the table Students. Assume that the entered value for each column is appropriate. In other words, there is no domain constraint violation. INSERT INTO Students(stuID, lastName, firstName, major) VALUES('950555111', 'Anna' 'Smith', 'BSIT'); However, this statement does not work correctly.

An international school of technology has hired you to create a database management system to assist in scheduling classes. After several interviews with the president, you have come up with the following list of entities, attributes, and initial business rules: • Room is identified by Building ID and Room No and also has a Capacity. A room can be either a lab or a classroom. If it is a classroom, it has an additional attribute called Board Type. • Media is identified by MType ID and has attributes of Media Type and Type Description. Note: here we are tracking type of media (such as a DVD, projector, etc.), not the individual piece of equipment. Tracking of equipment is outside of the scope of this project. • Computer is identified by CType ID and has attributes of Computer Type and Type Description, Disk Capacity, and Processor Speed.
