Consider a relation R(A, B, C, D, E) with the following dependencies:
AB → C, CD → E, DE → B
L3 CO3
Is AB a candidate key of this relation? If not, find the candidate key of the relation?
Explain your answer.
Consider the following relation:
CAR_SALE(Car#, Date_sold, Salesperson#, Commission%, Discount_amt)
Assume that a car may be sold by multiple salespeople, and hence {Car#, Salesperson#}
is the primary key. Additional dependencies are
L3 CO3
Date_sold → Discount_amt and
Salesperson# → Commission%
Based on the given primary key, is this relation in 1NF, 2NF, or 3NF? Why or why not?
How would you successively normalize it to 3NF?
Consider the following relation for published books:
BOOK (Book_title, Author_name, Book_type, List_price, Author_affil, Publisher)
Author_affil refers to the affiliation of author. Suppose the following dependencies
exist:
Book_title → Publisher, Book_type L3 CO3
Book_type → List_price
Author_name → Author_affil
a. What normal form is the relation in? Explain your answer.
b. Apply normalization till BCNF
Consider the relation schema R(A,B,C,D,E,F) and the functional dependencies
A →B, C →DF, AC →E, D →F
L3 CO3
What is the primary key of this relation R? What is its highest normal form? Preserving
the dependency, decompose R into third normal form.
Consider the following relational schemes for a library database: Book (Title, Author, L3 CO3
Catalog_no, Publisher, Year, Price) Collection (Title, Author, Catalog_no) with in the
following functional dependencies:
Title, Author → Catalog_no
Catalog_no → Title, Author, Publisher, Year
Publisher Title Year → Price
Find the highest Normal form of relation Book and Collection.
The relation scheme Student Performance (name, courseNo, rollNo, grade) has the
following functional dependencies:
name, courseNo → grade
rollNo, courseNo → grade L3 CO3
Name → rollNo
rollNo → name
Find the highest Normal form of the relation.
Given the following relation instance.

x y z
1 4 2
1 5 3
1 6 3
3 2 2 L3 CO3
Explain which of the following functional dependencies are satisfied by the instance?
i) xy → z
ii) y→z
iii) yz → x
iv) zx → y
