Question

To keep track of office furniture, computers, printers, and so on, the CSU DIT uses the table structure shown in Table 1.

Please note that BLDG stands for building.

Table 1Sample ITEM Records

Attribute Name	Sample Value	Sample Value	Sample Value
ITEM_ID	231134-678	342245-225	254668-449
ITEM_LABEL	HP DeskJet 895Cse	HP Toner	DT Scanner
ROOM_NUMBER	325	325	123
BLDG_CODE	NTC	NTC	CSF
BLDG_NAME	Nottooclear	Nottoclear	Canseefar
BLDG_MANAGER	I. B. Rightonit	I. B. Rightonit	May B. Next

a. Given that information, draw the dependency diagram. Make sure that you label the transitive and/or partial dependencies. 5 Marks

b. Modify thedependency diagrams that meet 3NF requirements. Rename attributes to meet the naming conventions, and create new entities and attributes as necessary.5 Marks

c. Draw the Crow’s Foot ERD.5 Marks

NOTE

For guidance on how to normalise database relations from a dependency diagram, watch this very short YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkUyuLLgmwQ

Manually drawing the dependency diagram, or the set of 3NF relations or the relational schema is NOT acceptable.

PS

be able to apply normalisation techniques to optimise a database design.

Analysis identifies all PKs and functional, partial and transitive dependencies. Accurately identifies all 3NF relations, including PKs, relevant attributes and referential integrity constraints.

Creates an ERD that represents all 3NF relations and includes all entities, PKs, attributes, relationships, associative entities (if applicable), cardinalities and optionalities.

Analysis identifies PKs and functional, partial and transitive dependencies with minor omissions. Accurately identifies 3NF relations, including PKs, relevant attributes and referential integrity constraints with minor omissions.

Creates an ERD that represents identified 3NF relations and includes all entities, PKs, attributes, relationships, associative entities (if applicable), cardinalities and optionalities.

Analysis identifies key PKs and functional, partial and transitive dependencies. Identifies key 3NF relations, including PKs and relevant attributes and referential integrity constraints.

Creates an ERD that represents identified 3NF relations and includes the related entities, PKs, attributes, relationships, associative entities (if applicable), cardinalities and optionalities.

Analysis identifies key PKs and functional dependencies and draws out relevant 3NF relations.

Creates an ERD that represents identified 3NF relations and includes the related entities, PKs, attributes, relationships, cardinalities and optionalities with minor errors.
