Relations produced from E - R Model will always be in ______
1 NF
Standard ER-to-relational mapping produces relations with atomic attribute values: composite attributes are decomposed, and multivalued attributes are represented in separate relations. This ensures first normal form. Second and higher normal forms additionally require analysis of functional dependencies and are not guaranteed merely by the mapping.
Important Questions from ER Model
- Consider an ER model with the entities E1(A11, A12, A13) and E2(A21, A22, A23), where, A11, A12, A13 are the attributes of E1, and A21, A22, A23 are the attributes of E2. Let A22 be a multi-valued attribute. A11 and A21 are the primary keys of E1 and E2, respectively.
Let R12 be a many-to-many relationship between E1 and E2. Participation of both E1 and E2 in R12 is total.
The minimum number of relations required to convert the ER model into relational model (assuming there is no other functional dependency) where each relation is in third normal form (3NF) is __________ . (Answer in integer) - Specialization process does not allow
The values of the attributes in a database describe a particular _______.
Which of the following data item is not broken down into smaller units is?
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
(i) A weak entity set is identified solely by its partial key (discriminator).
(ii) The identifying relationship type between a weak entity type and its owner entity type must have total participation from the weak entity type.
