Details & Problems
In this assignment, you are required to answer the short questions, create the E-R diagram, normalize tables, develop SQL statements to demonstrate your ability to use Select, Update, Delete, Create, Alter, Drop statements and show your ability to create Views and Procedures.
Task 1 Entity Relationship Modeling
Scenario: Notown Records has decided to store information about musicians who perform on its albums (as well as other company data) in a database. The company has wisely chosen to hire your as a database designer (at your usual consulting fee of $2500/day).
• Each musician that records at Notown has an SSN, a name, an address, and a phone number.
Poorly paid musicians often share the same address, and no address has more than one phone.
• Each instrument used in songs recorded at Notown has a unique number, a name (e.g., guitar, synthesizer, flute) and a musical key (e.g., C, B-flat, E-flat)
• Each album recorded on the Notown label has a unique identification number, a title, a copyright date, a format (e.g., CD or MC), and an album identifier.
• Each song recorded at Notown has a title and an author.
• Each musician may play several instruments, and a given instrument may be played by several musicians.
• Each album has a number of songs on it, but no song may appear on more than one album.
• Each song is performed by one or more musicians, and a musician may perform a number of songs.
• Each album has exactly one musician who acts as its producer. A musician may produce several albums, of course.
Based on the above-mentioned scenario, answer the following questions:
i) Provide two good reasons for drawing an ER Diagram before building a database. Especially, how an E-R diagram would benefit the above scenario.
ii) Identify all the entities in the given scenarios and highlight the weak entities.
iii) Draw an E-R diagram.
Task 2 Normalization
Normalize the following table up to the third normalized form based on below details:
A dental clinic provides appointments to its patients. The following table provides a record of appointments for surgical procedures.
Dentist
Id Dentist
Name Patient
No Patient
Name Appointment
Date Appointment
Time Surgery
No Surgery Name

Unnormalized table: Patient (DentistId, DentistName, PatientNo, PatientName,
AppointmentDate, AppointmentTime, SurgeryNo, SurgeryName)
Task 3 SQL Queries
Write SQL statements for following:
• Retrieve a list of Northwind’s Customers (names) who are in Melbourne city.
• List all the product names from Tokyo Traders where the product's unit price is greater than 100.
