Explanation of Solution

BCNF (Boyce Codd Normal Form):

A relation is said to be in BCNF if it holds the following 2 conditions:

  • The relation is in Third Normal Form
  • For every dependency X→a, X is superkey.

Every binary relation which means every schema consisting of exactly 2 attributes is said to be in BCNF.

In order to prove that, consider all possible combinations of functional dependencies on a relation R with 2 attributes A1 and A2.

Case1: A1→A2

In this case, A1 is the candidate key and hence also a superkey as candidate keys is minimal superkeys.

So, the BCNF condition satisfies in this case...

Assignment Instructions: You are tasked with developing a program to use city data from an online database and generate a city details report. 1) Create a new Project in Eclipse called "HW7". 2) Create a class "City.java" in the project and implement the UML diagram shown below and add comments to your program. 3) The logic for the method "getCityCategory" of City Class is below: a. If the population of a city is greater than 10000000, then the method returns "MEGA" b. If the population of a city is greater than 1000000 and less than 10000000, then the method returns "LARGE" c. If the population of a city is greater than 100000 and less than 1000000, then the method returns "MEDIUM" d. If the population of a city is below 100000, then the method returns "SMALL" 4) You should create another new Java program inside the project.
