relational schema using the ER-to-Relational mapping algorithm.
Clearly describe each step of the algorithm and Draw the resulting
relational schema with primary and foreign keys.
Entities:
Student: Attributes: student_id (primary key), student_name, major
Course: Attributes: course_id (primary key), course_name, credits
Professor: Attributes: professor_id (primary key), professor_name,
department_id
Department: Attributes: department_id (primary key),
department_name
Relationships:
Enrolls: Between Student and Course. Attributes: grade
Teaches: Between Professor and Course. Attributes: semester
Advises: Between Professor and Student. No attributes

3.a) L2 CO3 Consider a relational database designed to store information about 10

students, courses, and enrollments. The database schema includes the
following relations:
Students(student_id, student_name, address, date_of_birth)
Courses(course_id, course_name, department, credits)
Enrollments(student_id, course_id, semester, grade)
1)Explain the concept of database normalization. Why is
normalization important in database design? Discuss the goals of
normalization.
2)Identify and explain the functional dependencies present in the
provided relations. Based on these dependencies, identify which
normal form each relation currently satisfies. Justify your answer.

b) L3 CO3 Consider the Relational Schema 6

Customers(C_Id, company, First, Last, street, city, state, Zip, Tel)
Orders(O_id, C_id, O_date, ship_date, shipping,tax)

Order_info(O_id,ISBN,Qty,price)
Write SQL queries to
i)List all the ISBN for which an order is placed by customer
ii)Retrieve the number of times each customer has placed an order
 iii) Retrieve those books which has ‘D’ as the first character in title
and which was published in the year 2019.
c) L3 CO Write an example query for Delete and Update operation on a 4
Relation.
OR
d) L3 CO3 Consider the relation scheme R = {E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N} and 5
the set of functional dependencies {{E, F} -> {G}, {F} -> {I, J}, {E,
H} -> {K, L}, K -> {M}, L -> {N} on R. What is the key for R?
e) L2 CO3 Explain Third Normal Form with an example. 5
f) L3 CO3 Consider a relational database schema for a small bookstore with the 10
following tables:
Books(book_id, title, author_id, genre, publication_year, price)
Authors(author_id, author_name, nationality)
BookOrders(order_id, book_id, customer_id, order_date, quantity)
Write SQL queries to perform the following tasks.
1. Retrieve the titles of all books published after the year 2000. Sort
the titles alphabetically.
2. Find the total number of books in each genre. Sort the result by
the number of books in descending order.
3. Increase the price of all books by 5%.
4. Retrieve the author names of the book ‘database’
5. Retrieve the Book details for which the price is less than 200 Rs.
