Explanation of Solution
Surrogate primary key:
- A system assigned primary key in a relational
database such as a serial number or any other which is not derived from any data in the database is known as surrogate primary key. - It is deputy of the primary key and will act as a primary key in the database and does not have any other significance.
- To simplify the primary key structures in the database, surrogate primary keys are created, and this ensures unique identification process in a relation.
Conditions to use the surrogate key:
The surrogate key for a relation is created when a primary key of a relation holds the below three conditions:
- If the relation has a composite primary key, then surrogate key should be created...

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below:
Assume you have three data definition classes, Person, Student and Faculty. The Student and Faculty classes extend Person. Given the code snippet below, in Java, complete the method determinePersonTypeCount to print out how many Student and Faculty objects exist within the Person array. You may assume that each object within the Person[] is either referencing a Student or Faculty object.
public static void determinePersonTypeCount(Person[] people){
// Place your code here
}
Please answer JAVA OOP question below:
Consider the following relationship diagram between the Game and VideoGame data defintion classes.
Game has a constructor that takes in two parameters, title (String) and cost (double). The VideoGame constructor has an additional parameter, genre (String). In Java, efficiently write the constructors needed within the Game class and VideoGame classes.
Hint: Remember to think about the appropriate validation
