Consider the relational schemas given below and the respective sets of functional dependencies valid in the schemas. R(A,B, C, D, E, H) Functional Dependency: A → B, BC → D,E → C,D → A Find all the minimal super key of the relational table R. List the derivations of all minimal keys. (ii) Identify the highest normal form of the relational R. Remember that the identification of a normal form requires analysis of the valid functional dependencies. (i) Decompose the relational table R into minimal number of normalized jii) relational tables in BCNF. Remember to indicate the primary key and foreign keys (if any).

5. Consider a relational schema R=ABCDEGHI, and the following set of functional dependencies: {A→BC, B→CD, DE→GH}. Candidate key: AEI Normalize R such that the resulting set of decomposed relational schemas is in Third Normal Form.
Let R be a relational schema {A, B, C, D, E, F, G} and let F be the set of functional dependencies F = {AB→C, AC→B, BC→E, BC→G, AD→E, B→D, B→G, BE→A, AE→C, AE→G}. Perform the following (i) Remove Extraneous Attributes(ii) Remove redundant Functional dependencies(iii) Find the minimal Cover
Consider a relational schema R = {A, B, C, D, E, G, H}, satisfying the functional dependencies F = {E → G, E → H, G → H, A → BC, BC → D, C → H, EG → A}. a) Derive all candidate keys for this schema. b) Derive a canonical cover of the functional dependencies in F. c) Is the above schema in BCNF? Prove or disprove. If it is not in BCNF, convert it into BCNF. d) Is the BCNF schema from (c) dependency-preserving? Prove or disprove. If not, convert into 3NF.
Please draw an relational ERD with multiplicities and all the attributes based on following description: ( Please identify the primary key in each entity.) An Adult Education Department runs various courses during the daytime and evenings, and at different times of the year. For example, ‘Spanish level 1’ is offered on Monday mornings, Monday evenings or Wednesday evenings, and runs over 25 weeks from October to March. On the other hand, ‘Introduction to Digging Up Your Ancestors’ only runs for 8 weeks, but is offered on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings from October to December, January to March, and April to June, with an optional field week in August. There is always a maximum number of places for each course offering, which is dependent on the individual teacher. For example, ‘Spanish level 1’ on Monday evenings may be limited to 20 places, but on Wednesday evenings the limit may be 25. Each course offering is only taken by one teacher, however teacher may take…
Consider the case of a many-to-one connection R between the entity sets A and B (see Figure 1). Consider the case in which the relationship generated from R is paired with the relationship created from A. In SQL, it is possible for attributes that are part of a foreign key constraint to be null. In SQL, explain how a limitation on the total involvement of A in R may be imposed by the use of non-null constraints.
# Question 2. Please select the correct statement(s) regarding keys in relational models. A. A candidate key is a key (super key) with a minimal set of attributes (cannot remove any attributes from this set, and the remaining one(s) still satisfy the key constraint). B. A candidate key is another term for key (super key) in relational models, and they have exactly the same meaning. C. One of the candidate key(s) is selected to be the primary key, and other candidate keys can be declared as UNIQUE. D. We can select multiple candidate keys to be multiple primary keys for a relation (multiple primary keys, not a primary key with multiple attributes). E. The attribute in a primary key does not accept NULL.
Please explain
Suppose that A and B are two sets of entities connected by a relation R that has multiple one-to-one occurrences (see Figure 1). Think about a scenario in which R's generated connection is coupled with A's. SQL allows null values for attributes that are a part of a foreign key constraint. Give an example of how non-null constraints may be used in SQL to place a restriction on how much A can be involved in R.
Explain the concept of functional dependency in the context of normalization. Provide an example.
