QUESTION 2 [32 Marks]
AYURVEDIC HEALTH AND MASSAGE CENTER

The case study given below is about the AYURVEDIC HEALTH and MASSAGE CENTER
(AHMC).

The AHMC is managed by the Human Service Trust of Mauritius and provides a number
of health Services to its patients for examples: Sauna Bath, Body Massage, Acupuncture
and Acupressure among others. When a Patient comes at the center, he/she has to
register by providing his Last Name, First Name, Gender, Date of Birth, NIC, Address and
Mobile Number. Upon registration he is given a unique Patient_ID.

Once the Patient is registered in the system, an Appointment is created with a Physician.
The identifier for the Appointment is Appointment_ID and other attributes include
Appointment Date, Appointment Time and Appointment Status. A Patient can have many
Appointments but an Appointment is created for one Patient only. The identifier for a
Physician is Physician_ID and other attributes include: Last Name, First Name, Date of
Birth, NIC, Date Hired and Mobile Number. A Physician can attend many Appointments
but an Appointment is attended by one and only one Physician.

An appointment may generate a Prescription or may not generate any, but a Prescription
must be generated by one Appointment only. The identifier for Prescription is Prescription
ID and other attributes include is Prescription Date.

A Prescription must include one or many Medicines and a Medicine may be included in
many Prescription. Two attributes which are associated with the relationship is
Doze_Per_Day (how many to take per day) and Before_After_Meal (When to take the
medicine). The identifier for medicine is Medecine_ID and other attributes are
Medecine_Scientific_name and Medecine_Common_Name.

An Appointment may require many Sessions for a Service, but a Session is associated
with one and only one Appointment. The identifier for Session is Session_ID and other
attributes include: Session_Date and Session_TimeFrom.

A Service may be found in many Sessions, but a Session must be related to one Service
only. The identifier for Service is Service_ID and other attributes include: Service_Name,
Service_Price and Duration.

A Session for a Service is done by a Physiotherapist, but a Physiotherapist does many

Session on a daily basis. The identifier for a Physiotherapist is Physio_ID and other
attributes include: Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth, NIC, Mobile and address.

(a) Produce an Entity Relationship Diagram (Logical Data Structure) for the above
scenario. For each entity, identify the primary key attribute and label each relationship
with the appropriate role and cardinality.

[15 marks]
(b) Translate your ERD into a relational database schema.

[17 marks]

[2 marks]
(b) Using the INVOICE Table structure given below, give an example of a
DELETION anomaly.
[2 marks]
(c) Using the INVOICE table structure shown below, write the relational schema,
draw its dependency diagram and identify all dependencies (including all partial,
transitive and fully functional dependencies).
[7 marks]
INVOICE TABLE
INV_NUM PROD_NUM SALE_DATE PROD_DESCRIPTION VEND_CODE VEND_NAME NUM_SOLD PROD_PRICE

10002 AA-3WD 12-JAN-06 Rotary Sander 200 Nice agency 2 $49.90

10002 BB-ERD 12-JAN-06 Power Drill 200 Nice agency 1 $280.99

10004 BD-CDT 13-JAN-06 Band Saw 201 Good Inc. 2 $28.90

Where INV_NUM means Invoice Number, PROD_NUM means Product Number,

VEND_CODE means Vendor Code, VEND_NAME means Vendor Name, NUM_SOLD
means number of product sold.

(d) Using the answer from part (c) above, remove all partial dependencies, write the
relational schema, and draw the new dependency diagrams. Identify the normal forms
for each table structure you created.
[4 marks]

the relational schema and draw the new dependency diagrams. Also identify the
normal forms for each table structure you created.
