Normalization:

  • Normalization refers to the method of representing a database in the terms of relations, which are in the standard normal forms.
  • It is organized in a table manner to reduce data redundancy and data dependency.

First Normal Form (1NF):

A table or a relation is said to be in first normal form if and only if the domain of each attribute consists of only unique values and the value of each attribute consists of only a single value.

Second Normal Form (2NF):

A table or a relation is said to be in second normal form if and only if it is in first normal form and no non-key attribute of the table is dependent on only a portion of the primary key.

Third Normal Form (3NF):

A table or a relation is said to be in third normal form if and only if it is in second normal form and if the candidate keys are its only determinants.

In anticipation of a change to the database, you are asked to provide a list of all products that have 'Man-Made' or 'Man Made' in the the composition text. (HInt: It is easiest to use LIKE in this instance.)  In addition, you are requested to replace either 'Man-Made' or 'Man Made' with the word 'Synthetic'. Only include ProductIDs between 1050 and 1060.  Show the following in your answer: ProductID, ProductName, Composition, and the modified composition field as 'NewComposition'.   (HINT:  This problem is a little tricky because you need to replace both 'Man-Made' and 'Man Made'.  The way to do this is to use a replace within a replace.)
Implement a new independent entity phone in the Sakila database. Attributes and relationships are shown in the diagram below   The diagram uses Sakila naming conventions. Follow the Sakila conventions for your table and column names: All lower case Underscore separator between root and suffix Foreign keys have the same name as referenced primary key Write CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements that: Implement the entity as a new phone table. Implement the has relationships as foreign keys in the Sakila customer, staff, and store tables. Remove the existing phone column from the Sakila address table. Step 2 requires adding a foreign key constraint to an existing table. Ex: ALTER TABLE customer ADD FOREIGN KEY (phone_id) REFERENCES phone(phone_id) ON DELETE SET NULL ON UPDATE CASCADE; Specify data types as follows: phone_id, phone_number, and country_code have data type INT. phone_type has date type VARCHAR(12) and contains strings like 'Home', 'Mobile', and 'Other'. Apply these…
