Throughout the normalization process, make certain that you identify the primary key by underlining the field(s)

that constitutes the primary key (when you build new tables, also italicize any foreign keys that you identify -- this will help you verify that you are completing the normalization process properly). It is also important that you show and explain your work and the logic that helps me to understand why you made the changes that you made for each stage of normalization (see the template uploaded). Make certain that you show the progression from lower levels of normalization to the higher levels. In other words, do not jump from an unnormalized table to the highest level of normalization (I want to see the logic and stages that you progressed through in completing the project). What to Return in: Return in documentation showing your work for each step of the process. In other words, show each table at each stage of normalization. Make certain that you label the stage of the process that you are showing. In addition, label each table and provide a description of the assumptions that you made in bringing the table(s) to the specified level of normalization. It is critical that you show not only the tables, but also the description of your assumptions and related logic.

(First 2nd normal form then 3rd normal form). Question No: 4 The table listed below is designed to store data representing students in a college environment. Make realistic assumptions based upon your experiences as a student and design a set of BCNF relations from this table. The following constraints apply: A student can have only one major. Each adviser can advise many students in the advisers major field, but a student has only one adviser (a faculty member in the students major discipline). Faculty are assigned to departments, each faculty is assigned to only one department.

You will be handing in the following:


A set of normalized data table definitions illustrating 3rd normal form. Also create the resultant tables by using SQL. A file containing SQL schema also submitted. A SQL table description is fine, or create the table by using SQL description as above (denoting primary and foreign keys) Ensure you note table names, field names, data types, primary/foreign keys, auto increment fields, etc. as part of your design clearly.
