Chapter 5, Problem 5.42PAE

Consider the relations specified in Problem and Exercise 8-53 i9. Assume that the database has been implemented without denormalization. Further assume that the database is global in scope and covers thousands of leagues, tens of thousands of teams, and hundreds of thousands of players. In order to accommodate this, a new relation has been added:

LEAGUE (LeagueID, LeagueName, LeagueLocation)
In addition, TEAM has an attribute TeamLeague. The following database operations are typical:

  1. Adding new players.
  2. Adding new player contracts.
  3. Updating player specialty codes.
  4. Updating city populations.
  5. Reporting players by team.
  6. Reporting players by team and specialty.
  7. Reporting players ordered by salary.
  8. Reporting teams and their players by city.
  9. Identify the foreign keys.
  10. Specify the types of indexes you would recommend for this situation. Explain how you used the list of operations described above to arrive at your recommendation.

Let the database has two relations P(a, b) and Q(m, a, n) in which a is the primary key of the relation P and m is the primary key of the relation Q. Instance of P has 70 Tuples and Instance of Q has 42. What is the maximum number of rows in the new instance produced by P Q? ( is natural join)
Write the proper sequence of activities for the design of a video rental database. (The initial ERD was shown in Figure 9.9.) The design must support all rental activities, customer payment tracking, and employee work schedules, as well as track which employees checked out the videos to the customers. After you finish writing the design activity sequence, complete the ERD to ensure that the database design can be successfully implemented. (Make sure that the design is normalized properly and that it can support the required transactions.)
Develop an EER model for the following situation using EER notation, as specified by your instructor. An international school of technology has hired you to create a database management system to assist in scheduling classes. After several interviews with the president, you have come up with the following list of entities, attributes, and initial business rules: • Room is identified by Building ID and Room No and also has a Capacity. A room can be either a lab or a classroom. If it is a classroom, it has an additional attribute called Board Type. • Media is identified by MType ID and has attributes of Media Type and Type Description. Note: here we are tracking type of media (such as a DVD, projector, etc.), not the individual piece of equipment. Tracking of equipment is outside of the scope of this project. • Computer is identified by CType ID and has attributes of Computer Type and Type Description, Disk Capacity, and Processor Speed. Please note: as with Media Type, we are tracking…
