2nd November 2007

Our homework over the mid-term break was to complete section 3 of the normalisation workbook. I have completed the majority of the 9 tasks, but some I have not because I have not been able to understand them. One task asks me to normalise a database, but this one has two repeating groups, and there are no clear instructions as to how you go about normalising when there are two repeating groups.

And in task 9, it asks you to normalise a database, but this situation is different from any of the given examples because it only has 1 primary key (and one foreign key) rather than 2 primary keys and a foreign key and I do not know how you should group the attributes into which tables.

The textbook homework has been fully completed (Deadlock notes and main terms: revisited sections).
