Consider the following database relations containing the attributes
Book–id
Subject–Category–of–book
Name–of–Author
Nationality–of–Author
With book–id as the primary key.
(a) What is the highest normal form satisfied by this relation?
Book–id
Subject–Category–of–book
Name–of–Author
Nationality–of–Author
With book–id as the primary key.
(a) What is the highest normal form satisfied by this relation?
(b) Suppose the attributes Book–title and Author–address are added to the relation, and the primary key is changed to {Name–of–Author, Book–title}, what will be the highest normal form satisfied by the relation?

(a) Consider the relation scheme $$R(A, B, C)$$ with the following functional dependencies:
$$\eqalign{ & A,B \to C \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,C \to A \cr} $$
Show that the scheme $$R$$ is the Third Normal Form $$(3NF)$$ but not in Boyce-Code Normal Form $$(BCNF).$$
$$\eqalign{ & A,B \to C \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,C \to A \cr} $$
Show that the scheme $$R$$ is the Third Normal Form $$(3NF)$$ but not in Boyce-Code Normal Form $$(BCNF).$$
(b) Determine the minimal keys of relation $$R.$$
