General Instructions

You received a unique random database specification (which pointed to this instruction page). You must follow these instructions for your received database specification.

You must answer the following questions and create a normalized model in MySQL Workbench. The provided specification is different for each student. You must create the specification and ERD for the design you received.

This is a CLOSED BOOK assignment, and you are not allowed to use any external information to solve it. Be sure that you use the URL that was assigned to you. Solving a different version of the assignment will result in a grade of zero for this assignment and may result in honor committee referral.

Database Model Conventions

You must follow these conventions when you perform your homework. Failing to follow the conventions will be penalized per each mistake and may also constitute evidence of cheating.

Entity names: singular nouns (or noun phrase) written in CAPITAL LETTERS, using _ instead of space, must end with a two letter suffix with your first name and last name initials (e.g. if your name is John Doe, an entity name will be PERSON_JD)

Attribute names: singular nouns (or noun phrase) written in CAPITAL LETTERS, using _ instead of space, must end with a two-letter suffix with your first name and last name initials (e.g. if your name is John Doe, an attribute name will be FIRST_NAME_JD)

Relationship names: third person verbs (or verb phrase) written in lower case letters, using spaces. Do not use "has" or other generic names. Use a name that clarifies the meaning (even if contains entity names). No initials in the name.

Additional conventions might be specified by your instructor (e.g. prefix the attribute names with the entity name or abbreviation)

Report structure

Your report must contain the following:

Assignment: D5

Name: YOUR NAME

Section: YOUR COURSE AND SECTION

First Normal Form - Identify all rows

Create a table with all rows identified for your data, eliminating the repeating value.

Include the table or a screenshot of the table in your report.

You can create the table in the text editor you use to write the report. If the table is too wide to fit, you can use a smaller font or you can break the columns in two. Also, you may create the table in some other editor and take a picture, and include the picture.

First Normal Form - Identify all columns

Identify all the attributes (columns) in your data table. At this step, you must keep all the attributes in a single table.

Be sure you divide the composite attributes. You must divide the composite attributes based on the typical use of such data. Try to anticipate how the customer will use the information.

Include the table or a screenshot of your table in the report.

First Normal Form - Dependencies

Identify the primary key and its dependencies, partial dependencies and transitive dependencies.

Draw the dependency diagram using any graphical editor (Powerpoint, Word, ...). Mark the PK with a different color. Mark distinctly the partial dependencies from the transitive dependencies.

At this step you will have a single entity with all the attributes in the dependency diagram.

Include the diagram in your report. You can include a picture of it.

See the video for wide diagrams. You can write the name of the attributes vertically.

Second Normal Form

Convert the first normal form in second normal form. Draw the new dependency diagram. Include the 2NF diagram in your report.

Third Normal Form

Convert the second normal form in third normal form. Draw the new dependency diagram. Include the 3NF diagram in your report.

Improved Third Normal Form

How you can further improve the obtained diagram? Provide at least one improvement idea and improve the diagram based on it.

ERD

Draw the ERD using MySQL Workbench. Include a screenshot with the ERD in the report

solve this and show the relationship.
