DBMS BCS403 Question Bank Module3

1. Explain Informal design guidelines for relation schema with examples.


2. What are Functional Dependencies? And explain the following Normal forms with
relation example for each. I) 2NF ii) 3NF iii) BCNF
3. Consider the following relation:
CAR_SALE(Car#, DateSold, Salesman#, Commission%, DiscountAmount)
Assume that a car may be sold by multiple salesmen, and hence
{Car#, Salesman#} is the primary key.
Additional dependencies are:
Car#,--->datesold
Car#-Discountamt
Datesold-Discount amt
Salesman#-comission%
Based on the given primary key, is the relation in 1NF, 2NF, 3NF?
Why or why not?
How would you successively normalize it completely?

4. Let R = {Ssn, Ename, Pnumber, Pname, Plocation, Hours} and 0 = {RI, R2, R3}
where
RI = EMP = {Ssn, Ename}
R2 = PRO] = {Pnumber, Pname, Plocation}
R3 = WORKS-ON = {Ssn, Pnumber, Hours}
The following functional dependencies hold on relation R.
F = {Ssn ->Ename; Pnumber -> {Pname, Plocation};
{Ssn, Pnumber} -> Hours}
Prove that the above decomposition of relation R has the loss less join property

name.
iii) For each project, retrieve the project number, the project name, and the number
