3 A shop manager has designed a relational database to store customer orders.

The database will have the following tables:

CUSTOMER(CustomerID, FirstName, LastName, Town)

SHOP_ORDER(OrderNo, CustomerID, OrderDate)

SUPPLIER(SupplierID, EmailAddress, TelephoneNumber)

ITEM(ItemNumber, SupplierID, Description, Price)

ORDER_ITEM(ItemNumber, OrderNo, Quantity)

(a) Complete the entity-relationship (E-R) diagram for the relational database.

SHOP_ORDER CUSTOMER

ORDER_ITEM SUPPLIER

ITEM

2 The relational database ASTRONOMY is used to store data about telescopes, the companies that
own the telescopes and the photographs taken by the telescopes.

The database has these three tables:

COMPANY(TelephoneNumber, CompanyID, CompanyName)

PHOTOGRAPH(PhotoID, TelescopeID, DateTaken, TimeTaken, Elevation)

TELESCOPE(TelescopeID, CompanyID, SerialNumber)

(a) Complete the following table by writing the correct answer for each item.

Item Answer

a suitable field for the primary key in

COMPANY

a candidate key in TELESCOPE

the degree of relationship between

TELESCOPE and PHOTOGRAPH

(b) A Database Management System (DBMS) has several features.

Identify the feature that describes the relationship between data and its structure.

............................................................................................................................................. [1]

(c) Complete the SQL script to return the total number of telescopes owned by the company
whose ID begins with HW.

SELECT ........................................... (.............................................................)

FROM TELESCOPE

WHERE .................................................. LIKE ...............................................;
