Consider the following 3NF relations about a sorority or fraternity: MEMBER(Member_ID,Name,Address,Dues_Owed) OFFICE(Office_Name,Officer_ID,Term_Start_Date, Budget) EXPENSE(Ledger_Number,Office_Name,Expense_Date, Amt_Owed) PAYMENT(Check_Number,Expense_Ledger_Number, Amt_Paid)
Question:
Consider the following 3NF relations about a sorority or fraternity:
MEMBER(Member_ID,Name,Address,Dues_Owed) OFFICE(Office_Name,Officer_ID,Term_Start_Date, Budget)
EXPENSE(Ledger_Number,Office_Name,Expense_Date, Amt_Owed)
PAYMENT(Check_Number,Expense_Ledger_Number, Amt_Paid)
RECEIPT(Member_ID,Receipt_Date,Dues_Received)
COMMITTEE(Committee_ID,Officer_in_Charge)
WORKERS(Committee_ID,Member_ID)
a. Foreign keys are not indicated in these relations. Decide which attributes are foreign keys and justify your decisions.
b. Draw an E-R diagram for these relations, using your answer to Problem and Exercise 9-47a.
c. Explain the assumptions you made about cardinalities in your answer to Problem and Exercise 9-47b. Explain why it is said that the E-R data model is more expressive or more semantically rich than the relational data model.
