Explanation of Solution

Homonyms:

When more than one attributes have the same name, they are referred as “homonyms”.

It indicates the use of same name to label different attributes.

Example:

Suppose in table “STUDENT”, one of the attribute names is “student_number”. Also, in table “PROFESSOR”, there exists an attribute with name “student_number”. Then both the attributes are named as “Homonyms”.

Synonyms:

When more than one name is assigned to same attribute, the attribute names are referred as “synonyms’. It exists when the same attribute has more than one name.

Example:

Suppose in table STUDENT, one of the attribute names is “STU_NUM” which displays the student registration number. Also, another attribute is “STU_ID” which also displays the student registration number. Then the attribute names are named as “Synonyms”.

Homonyms and Synonyms in Database design:

The use of homonyms and synonyms should be avoided in database design. This is due to the following reason:

  • To avoid inconsistency in the database design.

    For example:

    Suppose we check the database for a specific attribute such as “ID”. If “ID” refers to student ID as well as to professor’s ID, a clear case of a homonym, it is a creation of an ambiguity, because it is no longer clear which entity the “ID” belongs to...

Java Graphics (Bonus In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: O о о ○ An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. " The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels. Regardless of how…
