University Database Project Solution: ITECH 1006, Fall Semester

This document presents a comprehensive solution for an ITECH 1006 Database Management Systems project. It begins with an ER diagram illustrating the relationships between entities such as staff, courses, classes, members, and payments, along with assumptions made for the model. The solution then addresses normalization, detailing the transformation of relations into 3NF to eliminate redundancy and ensure data integrity. A data dictionary is provided, defining each table's fields, primary and foreign keys, and data types. The database schema is thoroughly outlined, specifying the structure and purpose of each table, including payments, staff, payment statements, awards, running courses, members, courses, members of class, and classes. Finally, a bibliography lists the sources used in the project. This detailed project solution is designed to assist students in understanding and completing their database management assignments.

Assumption:
 One staff can have many running courses.
 One staff can make payment statement for many members.
 A course may have one or more running classes.
 A class may have more than one members.
 A member can have one or more members.

3ITECH 1006 - DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
 Every member has a payment statement for each class.
 One member may have zero or more award.
 Every payment has one payment statement.
Normalization
Course (courseID, name, numberClassees, courseDescription, prerequisiteCourseID,
runningCourse, StartingDate, EndDate, notes)
Staff (ID, name, phoneNumber, address, email, taxNumber, jobTitle,
weeklyPaymentRate)
The relations shown above all are in 3NF, except course.
The course relation is in 2NF due to transitive dependency CourseID -> runningCourse
exists in the course relation. Therefore, the only depended variable is runningCourse. To provide
redundancy free relation this relation must be decomposed in 3rd normal form.
Classes (classID, CourseID, DateTime, RoomNumber, Notes, MemberID)
Members (MemberID, name, address, email, phoneNumber, DOB, Notes, DOJ, DOL)
The above relation is in 3NF, but classes relation is not in 3rd NF.
Therefore, the relation class have transitive dependency courseID -> MemberID exists in
the class relation. Therefore, the only dependent variable is MemberID. To provide proper
integrity constraints for that relation it need to decomposed into two relations. Such as
memberOFclass (id, memberID, classID).
