    A database is being constructed to keep track of the teams and games of a sport league. A team has a number of players, not all of whom partici pate in each game.

  • b
    Consider the universal relation R = {A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H , I, J} and the set of functional dependencies F = { {A, B}→{C}, {A}→{D, E}, {B}→{F}, {F}→{G,H}, {D}→{I, J} }. What is the key for R? Decompose R into 2 NF and then3NF relations
  • a
    Consider schedules S1, S2, and S3 below. Determine whether each schedule is strict,
