Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 8HMP
The Warm and Toasty Heating Oil Company used to deliver heating oil by sending trucks that printed out a ticket with the number of gallons of oil delivered that was placed on customers’ doorsteps. Customers received their oil delivery bills in the mail two weeks later. The company recently revised its oil delivery and billing system so that oil truck drivers can calculate and print out a complete bill for each delivery and leave customers with the bill and a return envelope at the time the delivery takes place. Evaluate the business impact of the new system and the people and organizational changes required to implement the new technology.

A library wants to build a simple online recommendation system for a summer reading programme. The system involves people reading and recommending books and authors. • Readers (people) have a screen name as well as a real name and contact information, including an unknown number of phone numbers they can be contacted at. • Books have a title, ISBN, genre and reading level. • An author has a name and nationality. They can write zero or more books. • Assume that Books are written by only one author. • The database records what books a reader has read. • Readers can “like” books. • Readers can “like” authors independent of the books the author has written. Create a hand-drawn, conceptual entity relationship diagram (like the last lab, except that you’re including attributes) describing this circumstance for a database designer.

The calls are usually received by the receptionist who looks at the menu list and tells the customer the amount of money he/she is supposed to pay, and how long it will take to prepare the order. Once the customer agrees to the terms and conditions of the delivery. The receptionist writes down the order and the customer details in a piece of paper and gives the piece of paper to the caterer. The caterer prepares and packs the order and sticks the order details he/she received from the receptionist to the food package.

- Algonquin Homes is a new home builder in Eastern Ontario. They specialize in detached homes on larger lots with quality finishes. They currently have 3 communities that they are building; Westgrove, Apple Hills and Wild Meadow. Each community has a site plan which shows the location of the community within the larger region, the location of each lot in the community including a lot number, and the street names and addresses within that community. Each of these communities has a different number of lots for sale. A number of model homes are available to be built on a lot. Larger lots will allow for a home with a three car garage, while smaller ones will allow only a two car garage. Each model has a number and a name. Each lot has a lot number and lot dimensions – metres wide by metres long. Sometimes, a community sells out fast leaving only 2 or 3 lots unsold. In this case, the builder can reduce the base price of the lot and model home as an incentive to make the sale. The community…arrow_forwardA restaurant chain has several locations in a city (with a name and zip code stored for each), and each is managed by one manager.

A publisher publishes one or more books; a book is published by exactly one publisher. A book is identified by its ISBN, and other attributes are title, price, and number of pages. Each book is written by one or more authors; an author writes one or more books, potentially for different publishers. Each author is uniquely described by an author ID, and we know each author’s name and address. Each author is paid a certain royalty rate on each book he or she authors, which potentially varies for each book and for each author. An author receives a separate royalty check for each book he or she writes. Each check is identified by its check number, and we also keep track of the date and amount of each check. As you develop the ERD for this problem, follow good data naming guidelines.arrow_forward
