Question #1(True or False & MCQs)
Part1: State whether true or false and correct the wrong statement:
1. The normal forms 1NF and 2NF are intermediate steps to 3NF.
2. A relation R is in the second normal form if and only if it is in 1NF and every nonkey attribute
is fully dependent on the foreign key.

and the users of the system.
4. SQL language has data definition statements such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and data
manipulation statements such as CREATE.
5. The relationship between Employee and Project is always one to many (1:M)
6. Two distinct tuples cannot have identical values in all fields that comprise a primary key
7. We can use this statement: SELECT ENAME FROM EMP WHERE ENAME='K%'
To get all employee names that start with letter 'K' in table EMP.
8. If a base table is dropped, all the related views will be automatically dropped.
9. There are physical records corresponding to user created views.
10. Relational data base relation may accept multi-valued data items (attributes).
11. Deleting all tuples of a relation is equivalent to dropping it.
12. Part of the primary key may accept null value.

Q3) Giving the following table:

Donation (DonorID#, Date, Name, Member, Phone, Address, City, State, Zip, Location, Description,

And assuming that;
 All the data from the application form belongs to one big table with DonorID# and Date
primary key.
 Donor Information is specified by (DonorID#, Name, Member, Phone, Address, City, State,
Zip, Location, Age)
 Donated item is specified by (DonorID#, Date, and Description, Quantity)

Question #2(Database Modeling Drawing ERD):
Part1:
A database for a banking system is used to control withdrawal, deposit and loan transactions with
customers, banks which use this database has many branches and use this database system in all of
branches.
The database stores information about customers as cust_id (unique), name, address, and phone.
And about credits the database stores credit_no (unique), amount and last_transaction_date.
And about each branch the database stores branch_name, address (unique), phone.
And about each transaction a database stores trns_no (unique for each customer), trans_type,
trans_date, trans_amount

Assume:
- Each customer can deal with any branch.
- All of branches are permitted to make withdrawal and deposit transactions but only essential
branches can make loan transaction.
- Customer can make any transaction.
- Each customer must have one credit no (not more than one credit for each customer).

Draw an ER diagram. Estimate any missing assumptions.

Part2: Design an appropriate set of normalized relations to represent the following information.
- The company has a set of departments
- Each department has a set of employees, a set of projects, and a set of offices.
- Each employee has a job history (set of jobs the employee has held). For each such job, the
employee also has a salary history (set of salaries received while employed on that job)
- Each office has a set of phones
- The database is to contain the following information:
- For each department: department number (unique), budget, and the department manager’s
employee number (unique).
- For each employee: employee number (unique), current project number, office number, and
phone number; also; title of each job the employee has held, plus date and salary for each
district salary received in that job.
- For each project: project number (unique) and budget.
- For each office: office number (unique), area in square feet, and numbers (unique) of all
phones in that office.
Assumptions:
 No employee is the manager of more than one department at a time.
 No employee works in more than one department at a time.
 No employee works on more than one project at a time.
 No employee has more than one office at a time.
 No employee has more than one phone at a time.
 No employee has more than one job at a time.
 No project is assigned to more than one department at a time.
 No office is assigned to more than one department at a time.

Aircraft (aid: integer, aname: string, cruisingrange: integer)
Certified (eid: integer, aid: integer)
Pilots (eid: integer, ename: string, salary: integer)
Note that the pilots relation describes certified pilots and non-certified pilots, every pilot is certified
for some aircraft.

Write SQL statements showing the following:

1. Show all data of the clerks who have been hired after the year 1997.
2. Show the department names, locations, employees’ last names, Job titles and salaries of
