What is the relationship between tables Movie and Genre?

•
1:M
•
N:1
•
M:N
•
1:1
11
What is a benefit of using a lookup table?
•
It models pure relationships rather than entities.
•
It transforms an M:N relationship into two 1:M relationships.
•
It resolves weak entities.
•
It centralizes data about the key.
12
What is introduced as a criterion of a table in second normal form?
•
There should be no repeating groups.
•
All attributes in a table are dependent on the primary key.
•
Each cell of a table should have a single value.
•
There should be repeating groups.
13
What would need to be done to fix an issue with a chasm trap?
•
Create a foreign key for each primary key in the relationships.
•
Remove the middle table and connect the tables directly.
•
Create a direct link between the two tables rather than depend on the middle relationship.
•
The entire database design needs to be re-evaluated.
14
In each milestone, you may want or need to use the database and query tool to answer some
of the questions. We suggest you open the tool in another browser tab while you are working
on this assessment.

What is wrong with the following ERD meant to show a relationship between two entities?

•
One of the items is set up as an attribute.
•
There is no relationship between the entities.
•
There is nothing wrong with the ERD.
•
Both of the objects are attributes.
15
What is an advantage associated with a simpler ERD design?
•
Increased storage needs
•
Slower application development
•
More complex application code
•
Simpler SQL queries
16
What is a key feature of fourth normal form?
•
It is focused on eliminating join dependencies.
•
It should already satisfy the properties of BCNF.
•
It breaks tables down into as many tables as possible to avoid redundancy.
•
It creates multivalued dependencies.

https://postgres.sophia.org/
What is wrong with the following ERD meant to show the attributes of an entity?

•
The primary key is not indicated correctly.
•
The symbols used are swapped.
•
The attributes are not correctly linked to the entity.
•
There is nothing wrong with the ERD.
Why is 5NF less practical than 3NF or 4NF in a real-world setting?
•
It contains very little redundancy but sacrifices performance.
•
It eliminates multivalued dependencies.
•
Each table contains more than one candidate key.
•
It creates too much data redundancy.

https://postgres.sophia.org/
What is wrong with the following ERD meant to show a relationship between two entities?

•
Both of the objects are attributes.
•
There is no relationship between the entities.
•
One of the items is set up as an attribute.
•
There is nothing wrong with the ERD.
Is this dataset in 3NF? If not, why not?

• No, there are still repeating groups.

•
No, there are not enough attributes for the entity.
•
No, it is not yet in 2NF.
•
Yes, it could be considered to be in 3NF.

What could be a reason to denormalize a database?

•
The database may require us to value performance over storage and redundancy issues.
•
We want to eliminate repeating groups.
•
We want to increase performance for inserts, updates, and deletes.
•
We want to increase the number of joins between tables to optimize performance.

• The symbols used are swapped.

•
The primary key is not indicated correctly.
•
There is nothing wrong with the ERD.
•
The attributes are not correctly linked to the entity.

•
The attributes are not correctly linked to the entity.
•
The symbols used are swapped.
•
There is nothing wrong with the ERD.
•
The primary key is not indicated correctly.

What is a disadvantage associated with a simpler ERD design?

•
More complicated queries
•
Faster application development
•
Less adaptable if business rules change
•
Increased storage needs
Identify the normal form in which we have all of the key attributes defined.
•
3NF
•
2NF
•
None of the first three normal forms
•
1NF

What is a criterion of a table being in first normal form?

•
No non-prime attributes dependent on the candidate key should be included.
•
This normal form guarantees that there will be no data redundancies due to functional
dependencies.
•
No cell should have repeating groups.
•
All transitive functional dependencies of a non-prime attribute of a super key should be
removed.

Is this dataset in 2NF or not? If not why not?

• No, there are no transitive functional dependencies.

•
No, the dataset is not yet in 1NF.
•
No, there are still functional dependencies.
•
It is in 2NF.

What is a benefit of using a lookup table?

•
It resolves weak relationships.
•
It guarantees that there will be no data redundancies due to functional dependencies.
•
It provides fast answers to some questions.
•
It models pure relationships rather than entities.

What is true about normalization?

•
It adds layers of data redundancy.
•
It increases the chance of data anomalies.
•
The second nomal form is typically the highest level necessary.
•
It may decrease performance due to additional joins.

n each milestone, you may want or need to use the database and query tool to answer some of
the questions. We suggest you open the tool in another browser tab while you are working on
this assessment.

Which of the following scenarios reflects the isolation property?
•
1. In the library database, there are 50 books available.
2. Billy has checked and there are 50 books.
3. Sam has checked and there are 50 books.
4. Billy has taken out 5 books.
5. The library system informs Sam of the update and Sam now checks that there are 45
books.
6. Sam checks out 10 books.
7. There are now 35 books in the library database.
•
1. In the flower database, there are 50 flowers available.
2. Reese has checked and there are 50 flowers.

https://postgres.sophia.org/
Which query would be more efficient?

1. SELECT *
FROM customer
WHERE city IN
(SELECT city
FROM employee
WHERE reports_to = 2);

2. SELECT customer.*
FROM customer
INNER JOIN employee
ON customer.city = employee.city
WHERE reports_to = 2;
•
Query #1 would be more efficient as it is based on primary and foreign keys.
•
Query #2 would be more efficient as it is based on primary and foreign keys.
•
Both would be the same as both use the same indices for the join and filter.
•
Query #1 would be more efficient as it is not using indexed columns.

Using the AND or OR statement, filter the employee table for employees who live in the city
Lethbridge or have IT within their title.
Identify the first name of the 2nd record.
