- Analyze the variations between the generic definitions of 2NF and 3NF and the main key-based definitions. Explain your thinking by providing an example?arrow_forwardConsider the following set of requirements for a Flight reservation database: We conduct numerous flights departing from and arriving at various airports. We maintain a record of airport codes and addresses. Here is our requirements: Each airline schedules many flights. A flight may be shared among multiple airlines, and therefore the flights can be scheduled by many airlines. When multiple airlines share the same flights, each flight can be scheduled by many airlines. The passenger capacity of each flight varies depending on the aircraft's size and can accommodate up to 220 passengers. We collect and store essential information such as the passenger's ID, name, credit card, and mileage plan number. To account for fluctuating prices, we must save the total cost at the time of booking as prices are subject to change. Every booking must be assigned to precisely one flight and be associated with at least one passenger. A newly introduced flight does not have any existing bookings.…arrow_forwardSpecifically, how does the primary key of a connection relate to the interdependencies among its other qualities in terms of their usefulness?arrow_forward
- Consider a database with tables with parent tables and tables without parent tables. What differentiates controllers used to manage data for tables with and without parent tables?a) The routing algorithm to the controllerb) The number of methods in the controllerc) The controller method parameters, redirections, and model manipulationsd) Views are called from the models instead.arrow_forwardCould you kindly clarify the distinction between hard and symbolic links?arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of a collision domain, and how does it function?arrow_forward
- In these three examples, we see how a surrogate key may be used as the primary key of a connection.arrow_forwardA connection like sec course may be built from a collection of many-to-one connections. To what extent do the primary and foreign key restrictions enforce the many-to-one cardinality limitation of the relation? I was wondering why you came to that conclusion.arrow_forwardA student database may include indexes on fields such as major, age, marital status, and home zip code in addition to the main key, which is the student's unique identifier (all secondary keys). Let's assume the school wants a list of MIS or CS majors over the age of 25 who are married and from the 45462 zip code OR a list of CS majors under the age of 25 who are single and from the 45462 the code. Is there a way to utilize indexes to restrict access to just the records that meet this criterion?arrow_forward
