Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation of Solution

Conditions:

Following are the conditions should be met before an entity is referred as a weak entity:

  • The entity should be “existence-dependent” on its parent entity.
    • If an entity is referred as an “existence-dependent”, then that entity can exist in the database if and only if when it is related with another entity existence.
  • The entity should inherits a section of its primary key (PK) from its parent entity.

Example:

Consider the following ER diagram along with its attributes:

EBK DATABASE SYSTEMS: DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation:

  • The entity CLASS is “existence-dependent” on COURSE entity. Hence the CLASS entity uses a PK component from its parent entity (COURSE).
  • The CLASS entity’s PK is (COURSE_ID, CLASS_SEC).
  • In this strong implementation, the CLASS entity is referred as a weak entity between COURSE and CLASS.

I cannot program smart home automation rules from my device using a computer or phone, and I would like to know how to properly connect devices such as switches and sensors together ? Cisco Packet Tracer 1. Smart Home Automation:o Connect a temperature sensor and a fan to a home gateway.o Configure the home gateway so that the fan is activated when the temperature exceedsa set threshold (e.g., 30°C).2. WiFi Network Configuration:o Set up a wireless LAN with a unique SSID.o Enable WPA2 encryption to secure the WiFi network.o Implement MAC address filtering to allow only specific clients to connect.3. WLC Configuration:o Deploy at least two wireless access points connected to a Wireless LAN Controller(WLC).o Configure the WLC to manage the APs, broadcast the configured SSID, and applyconsistent security settings across all APs.
