1. A given relation R={A, B, C, D, E} is decomposed into three relations: R1={A, B, C}, R2={B, C, D}, and R3={A, C, E}

a. Based on the given set of FDs F={BE, CEA}, is the above decomposition a lossless-join decomposition?

b. Based on the given set of FDs F={ACE, BCD }, is the above decomposition a lossless-join decomposition?

2. A given relation R={A, B, C, D, E}, and a given set of FDs F={ABC, DEC, BD}.

a. Is R in BCNF? If not, do the decomposition accordingly.

b. Is your decomposition a lossless-join decomposition? Why?

c. Is your decomposition a dependency-preserving decomposition? Why?

d. List all the candidate keys of relation R.

e. Is R in the 3rdNF? Why?
