Suppose a new consultant is hired and immediately assigned to a new training project at a new firm and to 2 other, already existing projects. How many rows (tuples) must be added to the database to reflect this change? 3 incorrect 5 incorrect 1 incorrect 6 correct MC Consider a data model for the Olympics storing information about countries and athletes. There is a 1-N relationship type between country and athlete and an athlete always has to belong to exactly 1 country. A relational data model containing only 1 table leads to: Unnecessary replication of data about athletes. incorrect Unnecessary replication of data about countries. correct No unnecessary replication of data. incorrect Unnecessary replication of data about athletes and countries. incorrect MC Given the following relational model (primary keys are underlined, foreign keys in italics):

STUDENT(studentnumber, studentname, street name, street number, zip code, city)
ENROLLED(student_number, course_number)
COURSE(course number, course name)
PROFESSOR(professor number, professor name)
TEACHES(course number, professor number)

Which statement is CORRECT? The model can be further normalized. correct The model does not allow a professor to teach multiple courses. incorrect The model does not allow a course to be followed by multiple students. incorrect The model does not allow a course to be taught by multiple professors. incorrect MC Which statement is NOT CORRECT? A foreign key can be NULL. incorrect The Boyce Codd normal form is more strict than the third normal form. incorrect A prime attribute type is an attribute type that is part of a candidate key. incorrect An EER aggregation cannot be mapped in a straightforward way to a relational model. correct MC Consider a data model for the Olympics storing information about countries and athletes. There is a 1-N relationship type between country and athlete and an athlete always has to belong to exactly 1 country. A relational data model containing only 1 table leads to: Unnecessary replication of data about athletes. incorrect Unnecessary replication of data about athletes and countries. incorrect No unnecessary replication of data. incorrect Unnecessary replication of data about countries. correct MC Consider the following ER model for a course administration.



Which statement is NOT CORRECT? When mapping the ER relationship type enrollment between Session and Student to the relational model, a new relation needs to be introduced. The 4 cardinalities of this ER relationship type can be perfectly mapped to the relational model. incorrect When mapping the ER relationship type teaches between Session and Teacher to the relational model, a new relation needs to be introduced. The 4 cardinalities of this ER relationship type can be perfectly mapped to the relational model. correct When mapping the ER relationship type organizes between Course and Session to the relational model, the primary key "cnb" of the Course relation will be included as a NOT NULL foreign key in the Session relation. The 4 cardinalities of this ER relationship type can be perfectly mapped to the relational model. incorrect Both the ER and the relational model cannot enforce that a teacher can only teach sessions of courses for which he/she is qualified. incorrect MC Consider the following EER model



Which statement is CORRECT? The partial inheritance relationship between STUDENT and REPRESENTATIVE can be perfectly mapped to the relational model by the following two relations: STUDENT(StudentID, FirstName, LastName) and REPRESENTATIVE (S-StudentID, Email) whereby S-StudentID refers to StudentID in STUDENT. correct When mapping the EER relationship type IS_ENROLLED between COURSE and STUDENT to the relational model, a new relation needs to be introduced. The relation is identified by GRADE as its primary key. incorrect When mapping the EER relationship type PARTICIPATE between GROUP ASSIGNMENT and STUDENT to the relational model, a new relation needs to be introduced. The 4 cardinalities of this EER relationship type can be perfectly mapped to the relational model. incorrect When mapping the EER relationship type INVOLVE between COURSE and ASSIGNMENT to the relational model, a new relation needs to be introduced. The 1..1 cardinalities of this relationship type cannot be enforced in the relational model. incorrect MC Given the following (normalized) relational model (primary keys underlined; foreign keys in italics):

EMPLOYEE(SSN, ENAME, EADDRESS, SEX, DATE_OF_BIRTH, SUPERVISOR, DNR)
SUPERVISOR: foreign key, refers to SSN in EMPLOYEE, NULL value not allowed
DNR: foreign key, refers to DNR in DEPARTMENT, NULL value not allowed

DEPARTMENT(DNR, DNAME, DLOCATION, MGNR)
MGNR: foreign key, refers to SSN in EMPLOYEE, NULL value not allowed

PROJECT(PNR, PNAME, PDURATION, DNR)
DNR: foreign key, refers to DNR in DEPARTMENT, NULL value not allowed

WORKS_ON(SSN, PNR, HOURS)
SSN: foreign key, refers to SSN in EMPLOYEE, NULL value not allowed
PNR: foreign key, refers to PNR in PROJECT, NULL value not allowed

Which statement is NOT CORRECT? Every project is always assigned to exactly one department. incorrect Every employee must be always supervised by exactly one other employee. incorrect A department has always exactly one manager. incorrect An employee must work in the same department than he/she manages. correct MC Given the following relational model (primary keys are underlined, foreign keys are in italics)

BOOK(ISBN, title, pages, price, publishername)
AUTHOR(authorname, date_of_birth)
WRITES(authorname, ISBN)
PUBLISHER(publishername, streetnumber, streetname, zipcode)
CITY(zipcode, city)

The assumptions are: Which statement is CORRECT? The relational model is in third normal form. incorrect The relational model is in first normal form but not in second normal form. incorrect The relational model is not in first normal form. correct The relational model is in second normal form but not in third normal form. incorrect MC The following relational model represents a HRM system of a consultancy firm. The primary keys are underlined while foreign keys are in italic font.
