Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.5RQ
Program Plan Intro
Table:
The table is constructed with rows and columns.
- Table contains a group of related records.
- Column represents a field and row represents a record.
- Field is the information of a single item.
- Record is a collection of related fields; it contains all the necessary information of the specific object.
- In a relation all the columns are filled with their respective value but in a table even though it is a single cell, it is filled with the multiple value.
- Therefore, a table is not considered as a relation.

What is an unnormalized relation? Is it a relation according to the definition of the word relation?
Implement a new independent entity phone in the Sakila database. Attributes and relationships are shown in the following diagram:
The diagram uses Sakila naming conventions. Follow the Sakila conventions for your table and column names:
All lower case
Underscore separator between root and suffix
Foreign keys have the same name as referenced primary key
Write CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements that:
Implement the entity as a new phone table.
Implement the has relationships as foreign keys in the Sakila customer, staff, and store tables.
Remove the existing phone column from the Sakila address table.
Step 2 requires adding a foreign key constraint to an existing table. Ex:
ALTER TABLE customer ADD FOREIGN KEY (phone_id) REFERENCES phone(phone_id) ON DELETE SET NULL ON UPDATE CASCADE;
Specify data types as follows:
phone_id, phone_number, and country_code have data type INT.
phone_type has date type VARCHAR(12) and contains strings like 'Home', 'Mobile', and 'Other'.

Give an example of a table that is not a relation (other than one from this chapter).
