Chapter 7, Problem 33E

a.

Explanation of Solution

Candidate keys

  • A key is known as a candidate key when it has the ability to derive all the attributes from a relation...

b.

Explanation of Solution

Canonical cover for F

  • The steps for canonical conversion is to break the functional dependencies so that right hand side will have only one single attribute.
  • Then all the extra unnecessary functional dependencies are removed.
  • Then all the functional dependencies are combined.
  • Hence here the given functional dependencies include AB -> G, AB -> D ...

c.

Explanation of Solution

Remaining steps of algorithm

  • The given relation is in 1NF as there is no multivalued attribute or complex attribute.
  • The given relation is not in 2NF as there is partial functional dependency...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Final decomposition

  • Given functional dependencies are AB -> CD, ADE -> GDE, B -> GC, G -> DE.
  • Here ADE -> GDE have some trivial attributes.
  • So those attributes can be removed and hence the dependency is ADE -> G...

7. Long-Distance CallsA long-distance provider charges the following rates for telephone calls: Rate Category    Rate per MinuteDaytime (6:00 a.m. through 5:59 p.m.)    $0.07Evening (6:00 p.m. through 11:59 p.m.)    $0.12Off-Peak (midnight through 5:59 a.m.)    $0.05Write a GUI application that allows the user to select a rate category (from a set of radio buttons), and enter the number of minutes of the call into an Entry widget. An info dialog box should display the charge for the call.
Name and Address The Name and Address Problem Write a GUI program that displays your name and address when a button is clicked. The program’s window should appear as the sketch on the left side of Figure 13-61 when it runs. When the user clicks the Show Info button, the program should display your name and address, as shown in the sketch on the right of the figure.
