Explanation of Solution

The given DBDL in question 7 is as follows:

Student(StudentNum_,StudentName,CourseCode,AdvisorNum)AK StudentNameFK CourseCodeCourseFK AdvisorNumAdvisor

Advisor(AdvisorNum_,AdvisorName,DepartmentNum)AK AdvisorNameFK DepartmentNumDepartment

Department(DepartmentNum_,DepartmentName)AK DepartmentName

Course(CouseCode_,CourseName,CourseDescription)AK CourseNameSK CourseDescription

StudentAdvisor(StudentNum_,AdvisorNum_)FK StudentNumStudentFK AdvisorNumAdvisor

The changes in the DBDL after assigning an advisor who is in the department in which the student is majoring is as follows:

Student(StudentNum_,StudentName,CourseCode)

AK StudentNameFK CourseCodeCourse

StudentAdvisorDept (StudentNum_AdvisorNum_, DepartmentNum)FKAdvisorNumAdvisorFKDepartmentNumDepartment

Advisor(AdvisorNum_,AdvisorName,DepartmentNum)AK AdvisorNameFK DepartmentNumDepartment

Department(DepartmentNum_,DepartmentName)AK DepartmentName

Course(CouseCode_,CourseName,CourseDescription)AK CourseNameSK CourseDescription

Since the department from which the student is majoring and the department of the advisor must be the same. Therefore, a new relation studentAdvisordept should be created in which each combination of StudentNum and AdvisorNum will be related to a common department.

(b)

To determine

Change the requirements specified in question 7 if the student’s advisor does not necessarily have to be in the department in which the student is majoring.

Explanation of Solution

The given DBDL in question 7 is as follows:

Department(DepartmentNum_,DepartmentName)AK DepartmentName

Advisor(AdvisorNum_,AdvisorName,DepartmentNum)AK AdvisorNameFK DepartmentNumDepartment

Course(CouseCode_,CourseName,CourseDescription)AK CourseName

Student(StudentNum_,StudentName,CourseCode,AdvisorNum,DepartmentNum)AK StudentNameFK CourseCodeCourseFK AdvisorNumAdvisorFK DepartmentNumDepartment

StudentAdvisor(StudentNum_,AdvisorNum_)FK StudentNumStudentFK AdvisorNumAdvisor

The changes in the DBDL after assigning an advisor who is not required to be in the department in which the student is majoring is as follows:

Department(DepartmentNum_,DepartmentName)AK DepartmentName

Advisor(AdvisorNum_,AdvisorName,DepartmentNum)AK AdvisorNameFK DepartmentNumDepartment

Course(CouseCode_,CourseName,CourseDescription)AK CourseName

Student(StudentNum_,StudentName,CourseCode,AdvisorNum,DepartmentNum)AK StudentName

FK CourseCodeCourseFK AdvisorNumAdvisorFK DepartmentNumDepartment

Since the department from which the student is majoring and the department of the advisor need not be the same. So, the DeprtmenttNum in Student table will refer to the DepartmentNum in Department table.

That EFA takes 6 one bit inputs: aj, bj, Cin, Tin, t₁ and to. Depending on the four possible combinations of values on t₁ and to, the EFA produces 3 one bit outputs: sj, Cout and rout. The EFA can be specified in principle by a truth table with 26 = 64 entries and 3 outputs. However, as the EFA ignores certain inputs in certain cases, it is easier to work with the following overview specification, depending only on t₁ and to in the first place: t₁ to Description 00 Output Relationship Ignored Inputs Addition Mode 2 Coutsjaj + bj + Cin, Tout= 0 Tin 0 1 Shift Left Mode Sj = Cin, Cout=bj, rout = 0 rin, aj 10 1 1 Shift Right…
