1. (TCO 1) Lets imagine this scenario. Development of a database system is about to

start. Before development actually starts, the Director of Systems Development asks you
to evaluate the database schema design and report your observations. Given this
scenario what would you look for? Please discuss and explain. (Points : 40)

Answer:

In database schema design, ERD is the most important things. It will provide you graphical
view of your table relationship. So, when my director of systems development ask me to
design a database schema then i will start from database table designing to finalise the ERD.

In database table design, I have to identify the fields and also need to identify the keys which
will help us to get relation between tables. After that i will normalise the my tables. So that i
can improve data redundancy.
After that i will put all tables information into Entity relation diagram so that any one can
have indeed by only viewing ERD.

process. (Points : 40)

Question 4. 4. (TCO 4) Explain 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF as related to database design.
(Points : 40)
Answer:

Database Normalisation is a technique of organising the data in the database. It will be help
us to remove the data duplicity, increase the performance etc.

1NF :As per 1NF, no two rows of data must contain repeating group of information. In
all, each table must be organised into rows, and each row should have a primary key
that distinguishes it as unique.

2NF: As per 2NF, There must not be any partial dependency of any column on primary
key.

3NF: As per 3NF,every non-prime attribute of table must be dependent on primary key.
It removes the transtive dependency .
