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

Convert each one of the diagram into a skeleton relational database schema. Express every relation in the form: R (A, B, C, D, E); Underline a primary key for each relation. Write the attributes of a composite key adjacent to each other – just like A, B in R (A, B, C, D E
Consider the relation r(A, B, C), where the index is the attribute A. Give an example of a query that can only be answered by looking at the index rather than the relationship's tuples. (Index-only plans are query plans that rely just on the index rather than the actual relation.)
Use the technique of normalization to validate the structure of your relational schema. Demonstrate that each of your relations is in third normal form (3NF) by displaying the functional dependencies between attributes in each relation. Note, if any of your relations are not in 3NF, this may indicate that your ER model is structurally incorrect or that you have introduced errors in the process of deriving relations from your model.
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.

TF (c) If a relation is not in BCNF, then it has at least three attributes in the schema.
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→EG, AD→E, B→DG, BE→A, AE→CG}. Find the minimal cover.
Consider the following relations for a simple airport databas Hangars (hangNo, capacity, location, status) AirplaneTypes (Model, capacity, weight) Airplanes (regNo, model, hangNO) Owners (owner, name, address, phone, ssn) Owns (regNo, ownID, startedDate) There are four foreign keys for this database: 1. The attribute hangNo of the relation Airplanes that references the relation Hangars, 2. The attribute model of the relation Airplanes that references the relation AirplaneTypes, 3. The attribute regNo of the relation Owns that references the relation Airplanes, and 4. The attribute ownID of the relation Owns that references the relation Owner. Q1: Write SQL statements to define the above relation Hangars. You should choose a suitable data type and/or daya size for each column and be sure to declare appropriate integrity constraint(s). Q2. Which of the following SQL statements is used to define the above relation Airplanes? Ensure the data type and size for each attribute are…

An ERD has m number of entities (strong, weak, parent, child all combined) and n number of relationship types (of all possible kinds). When transformed to the relational schema, Database designer come up with a solution which contained more than m+n relations. What could possibly be the reason? If you think the designer did a mistake then you can say that in your answer. Explain your answer if you think that will help. Answer:
Swing Jazz Club ERD Problem Follow the Simple Procedure for ERD diagramming to design an ERD using the following user provided information. Remember the ERD will eventually turn into the design for a database from a top down view. Make sure you resolve any many to many conflicts. Label an identifier or primary key and all pertinent attributes given. If an attribute is not readily apparent from the user information, then make one up that makes sense for the particular entity. Therefore, all entities should end up with at least an identifier and another attribute that makes sense. You may use any of the approaches shown by the book, though the ER-Model and Crow’s foot are the most common. Make sure you show entities, relationships, cardinality, and optionality.
