 Each location can have one and only one customer
 Each location can have one or more rates
 Each rate may be used at many locations, or not used at a location

Activity 3G
Activity Outcome : Understand functional and transitive dependencies
in database normalization.

Consider the following relation definition and sample data:

PROJECT
ProjectID EmployeeName EmployeeSalary
100A Jamilah 1500
100A Samad 2000
100B Samad 2000
200A Jamilah 1500
200B Jamilah 1500
200C Affendi 2500
200C Samad 2000
200D Affendi 2500

PROJECT (ProjectID, EmployeeName, EmployeeSalary)

Where ProjectID is the name of a work project.

EmployeeName is the name of an employee who works on that project.
EmployeeSalary is the salary of the employee whose name is EmployeeName.

Assuming that all of the functional dependencies and constraints are apparent in this data,
which of the following statements is true?

 ProjectID EmployeeName
 ProjectID_ EmployeeSalary
 (ProjectID, EmployeeName) EmployeeSalary
 EmployeeName EmployeeSalary
 EmployeeSalary ProjectID
 EmployeeSalary (ProjectID, EmployeeName)

Answer these questions:

a) What is a key for PROJECT?

b) Are all non-key attributes dependent on the entire key?
c) In what normal form is PROJECT?
d) Describe two modification anomalies from which PROJECT suffers.
