Chapter 5, Problem 5.34RQ

Explanation of Solution

Intersection Table:

  • Relational database system will not allow the user to implement a direct many-to-many relationship. So, the many-to-many relationship will break into two one-to-many relationships by using third table, it is called as “intersection table”.
  • The intersection table contains primary key of the two tables as a foreign key.

Recursive many-to-many relationship (N:M):

  • Recursive many-to-many relationship is one of the types of recursive binary relationship that refer to the relationship between two entities which means many fields or records in a table are associated with many fields or records in another table in recursive manner.
  • Let us consider the example:
    • The “Agent” can buy or sell the property to any other agent in recursive manner.

Explanation:

  • The “Agent_ID” is a primary key of the “Agent” table. The “Agent_for_Agent” is the intersection table which contains “Client_Agent_ID” and “Selling_Agent_ID” as the foreign keys.
  • “Client_Agent_ID” contains the “Agent_ID” of the agent buying the property and “Selling_Agent_ID” contains the “Agent_ID” of the agent acting as the selling agent...

2.68♦♦ Write code for a function with the following prototype: * Mask with least signficant n bits set to 1 * Examples: n = 6 -> 0x3F, n = 17-> 0x1FFFF * Assume 1 <= n <= w int lower_one_mask (int n); Your function should follow the bit-level integer coding rules Be careful of the case n = W.
Hi-Volt Components You are the IT manager at Hi-Voltage Components, a medium-sized firm that makes specialized circuit boards. Hi-Voltage's largest customer, Green Industries, recently installed a computerized purchasing sys- tem. If Hi-Voltage connects to the purchasing system, Green Industries will be able to submit purchase orders electronically. Although Hi-Voltage has a computerized accounting system, that system is not capable of handling EDI. Tasks 1. What options does Hi-Voltage have for developing a system to connect with Green Industries' pur- chasing system? 2. What terms or concepts describe the proposed computer-to-computer relationship between Hi-Voltage and Green Industries? why not? 3. Would Hi-Voltage's proposed new system be a transaction processing system? Why or 4. Before Hi-Voltage makes a final decision, should the company consider an ERP system? Why or why not?
Consider the following expression in C: a/b > 0 && b/a > 0.What will be the result of evaluating this expression when a is zero? What will be the result when b is zero? Would it make sense to try to design a language in which this expression is guaranteed to evaluate to false when either a or b (but not both) is zero? Explain your answer
