This assessment task enables students to demonstrate their proficiency against the first three Unit Learning Outcomes (ULOs) of this unit.
ULO1: Define the difference between data and information and the difference between a traditional multiple-file system and a database.
ULO2: Explain the concept of data modelling and use Entity-Relationship (ER) models to represent data. ULO3: Design and implement relational database systems through the use of SQL
Question 1 (5 marks)
Problem statement
Saffron Gallery is about to host an exhibition next month. A number of works of art (paintings,
Sculptures, etc.) will be exhibited. Every art work will have a barcode, a title and a description. Each Art Work is created by a single artist. Every artist has a name, an address and a contact number. One artist may create more than one art work for the exhibition.
People will come and visit the exhibition. As each person enters the exhibition, their name, address and phone number will be recorded. Each person will be given a unique barcode id.
During their visit, people will nominate which art work they consider the best and this will be recorded by Uptown Gallery. People will be able to vote for more than one art work.
Exercise 1:
Describe the elements (entities, attributes and relationships) of the table of this database system.
Exercise 2:
Draw the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) of the generated tables.
Exercise 3:
Write the SQL code to create the tables.
Question 2 (10 marks):
You are given the Student 1, Student 2, and Course tables in the database below:
Student 1
Student_ID Student_FName Student_Lname 10001 John Smith 10002 Dave Franklin 10003 Febby Johns 10004 Mary Gibson 10005 Glory Anson
Using the above Sales table structure, perform the followings:
Exercise 1:
Write the relational schema for the above table, draw the dependency diagram, and identify all dependencies, including all partial and transitive dependencies. You may assume that an order number references more than one product and that the table does not contain repeating groups.
Exercise 2:
Write the relational schemas after removing all partial dependencies and draw the new dependency diagrams. Identify the normal form for each created table structure.
Exercise 3:
Write the relational schemas after removing all transitive dependencies and draw the new dependency diagrams. Identify the normal form for each created table structure.
Exercise 4:
Draw the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) according to the result of Exercise 3.
Question 4 (5 marks):
You are given the following table structure with sample data in it.

Exercise 1:
Draw the dependency diagram of the table, and normalize the table to ensure all generated tables are in 3NF. Present all tables generated from the normalization.
