Example 1 on Chapter 6

21. Given the sample records in the CHARTER table shown in Table below, write the relational schema and draw the dependency diagram for the table structure. Make sure that you label all dependencies. CHAR_PAX indicates the number of passengers carried. The CHAR_MILES entry is based on round-trip miles, including pickup points. (Hint: Look at the data values to determine the nature of the relationships. For example, note that employee Melton has flown two charter trips as pilot and one trip as copilot.)

The relational schema is written as follows:

CHARTER(CHAR_TRIP, CHAR_DATE, CHAR_CITY, CHAR_MILES, CUST_NUM, CUST_LNAME, CHAR_PAX, CHAR_CARGO, PILOT, COPILOT, FLT_ENGINEER, LOAD_MASTER, AC_NUMBER, MODEL_CODE, MODEL_SEATS, MODEL_CHG_MILE)

22. Decompose the dependency diagram in Problem 21 to create table structures that are all in 3NF and write the relational schema. Make sure that you label all dependencies. CHARTER (CHAR_TRIP, CHAR_DATE, CHAR_CITY, CHAR_MILES, CUST_NUM, CHAR_PAX, CHAR_CARGO, PILOT, COPILOT, FLT_ENGINEER, LOAD_MASTER, AC_NUMBER) CUSTOMER (CUST_NUM, CUST_LNAME) AIRCRAFT (AC_NUMBER, MODEL_CODE, MODEL_SEATS, MODEL_CHG_MILE)

Decompose the dependency diagram further:

CHARTER (CHAR_TRIP, CHAR_DATE, CHAR_CITY, CHAR_MILES, CUST_NUM, CHAR_PAX, CHAR_CARGO, PILOT, COPILOT, FLT_ENGINEER, LOAD_MASTER, AC_NUMBER) CUSTOMER (CUST_NUM, CUST_LNAME) AIRCRAFT (AC_NUMBER, MODEL_CODE) MODEL (MODEL_CODE, MODEL_SEATS, MODEL_CHG_MILE)

23. Draw the Crows Foot ERD to reflect the properly decomposed dependency diagrams you created in Problem 22. Make sure that the ERD yields a database that can track all of the data shown in Problem 21. Show all entities, relationships, connectivities, optionalities, and cardinalities.
