1)) Assume yyou have to create dataabase that traacks the


data of thhe orders as the followinng form.

1- What is the relatiional schem


ma correspon

the Orrder form?
2- Normmalize this too the 3NF.

ORDER(ordeer#, custom mer#, name, address,


orrderdate(prooduct#,description, quaantity, unitprice))

Q3) Consider the following relation for published books:

BOOK (Book_title, Author_name, Book_type, List_price, Author_affil,Publisher).


Suppose the following dependencies exist:
Book_title  Publisher, Book_type
Book_type  List_price
Author_name Author_affil
a. What normal form is the relation in? Explain your answer.
b. Apply normalization to the 3NF if it is not

Assuming the PK is Book_title, and Author_name, , this relation will be in 1NF because there is no
multi_values , composite or nested attribute.

2NF
BOOK (Book_title, Book_type, List_price, Publisher)
Author(Author_name, Author_Affil)
Author_Book(Auther_name, Book_title)
3NF
BOOK (Book_title, Book_type, Publisher)
Type_Price(Book_type, List_price)
Author(Author_name, AuthorAffil)
Author_Book(Auther_name, Book_title)
