Room contains room details for each hotel and (roomNo, hotelNo) forms the primary
key, type may be single room, double room, etc. (Try to find from some hotel booking
agency website);
Booking contains details of the bookings and (hotelNo, guestNo, dateFrom) forms the
primary key;
Guest contains guest details and guestNo is the primary key.
(i) Identify the foreign keys in this schema. Explain how the entity and referential
integrity rules apply to these relations.
(ii) Produce some sample tables for these relations that observe the relational integrity
rules. Suggest at least 10 general constraints that would be appropriate for this
schema.
(iii) Write the relational algebra expressions for the following queries:
(a)

List all hotels names

(b)

List all single rooms with a price below RM 200.00 per day.

(c)

List the names and cities of all guests.

(d)
