Let's pretend the Student table in a university database is indexed by StudentID (the primary key), Major, Age, MaritalStatus, and HomeZipCode (all secondary keys). Assume the school needed a list of students from the 45462 zip code who are either over the age of 25, married, and majoring in MIS or computer science OR who are above the age of 25 and majoring in computer engineering and are single. How can indexes be used to restrict access to records that exactly match these parameters?

- A database at a college must support the following requirements: a. For a department, store its number and name. b. For an advisor, store his or her number, last name, first name, and the department number to which the advisor is assigned. c. For a course, store its code and description (for example, DBA210, SQL Programming). d. For a student, store his or her number, first name, and last name. For each course the student takes, store the course code, course description, and grade earned. Also, store the number and name of the student's advisor. Assume that an advisor might advise any number of students but that each student has just one advisor. Design the database for the preceding set of requirements. Determine any functional dependencies. List the tables, columns, and relationships. In addition, represent your design with an E-R diagram.arrow_forwardScenario: The owner of Al Musana Hotel would like to have a database tables that will help him manage the clients and rooms in his building.

- Since no particular student is affiliated with a number, disclosing the total of all financial assistance for students in Smith dorm is not sensitive. Similarly, since no numbers are mentioned, a list of names of students seeking financial assistance is not sensitive. If only one student in Smith dorm requires funding, the sum of these two lists shows the number for an actual student. What calculations does a database management system have to make to figure out if the list of names contains classified information? What documents does the database management system need to keep on what particular people know in order to decide whether or not the list of names contains classified information?arrow_forwardUniversity laboratory has several chemists who work on one or more projects.
