- In the __________ normal form, a composite attribute is converted to individual attributes.
A) First
B) Second
C) Third
D) Fourth
Answer:A
Explanation: The first normal form is used to eliminate the duplicate information.
- A table on the many side of a one to many ormany to many relationship must:
a) Be in Second Normal Form (2NF)
b) Be in Third Normal Form (3NF)
c) Have a single attribute key
d) Have a composite key
Answer:D
Explanation: The relation in second normal form is also in first normal form and no partial dependencies on any column in primary key.
- Tables in second normal form (2NF):
a) Eliminate all hidden dependencies
b) Eliminate the possibility of a insertion anomalies
c) Have a composite key
d) Have all non key fields depend on the whole primary key
Answer:A
Explanation: The relation in second normal form is also in first normal form and no partial dependencies on any column in primary key.
- Which-one of the following statements about normal forms is FALSE?
a) BCNF is stricter than 3 NF
b) Lossless, dependency -preserving decomposition into 3 NF is always possible
c) Loss less, dependency – preserving decomposition into BCNF is always possible
d) Any relation with two attributes is BCNF
Answer:C
Explanation: We say that the decomposition is a lossless decomposition if there is no loss of information by replacing r (R) with two relation schemas r1(R1) andr2(R2).
- Functional Dependencies are the types of constraints that are based on______
a) Key
b) Key revisited
c) Superset key
d) None of these
Answer:A
Explanation: Key is the basic element needed for the constraints.
- Which is a bottom-up approach to database design that design by examining the relationship between attributes:
a) Functional dependency
b) Database modeling
c) Normalization
d) Decomposition
Answer:C
Explanation: Normalisation is the process of removing redundancy and unwanted data.
- Which forms simplifies and ensures that there is minimal data aggregates and repetitive groups:
a) 1NF
b) 2NF
c) 3NF
d) All of the mentioned
Answer:C
Explanation: The first normal form is used to eliminate the duplicate information.
- Which forms has a relation that possesses data about an individual entity:
a) 2NF
b) 3NF
c) 4NF
d) 5NF
Answer:C
Explanation: A Table is in 4NF if and only if, for every one of its non-trivial multivalued dependencies X \twoheadrightarrow Y, X is a superkey—that is, X is either a candidate key or a superset thereof.
- Which forms are based on the concept of functional dependency:
a) 1NF
b) 2NF
c) 3NF
d) 4NF
Answer:C
Explanation: The table is in 3NF if every non-prime attribute of R is non-transitively dependent (i.e. directly dependent) on every superkey of R.
- Empdt1(empcode, name, street, city, state,pincode).
For any pincode, there is only one city and state. Also, for given street, city and state, there is just one pincode. In normalization terms, empdt1 is a relation in
a) 1 NF only
b) 2 NF and hence also in 1 NF
c) 3NF and hence also in 2NF and 1NF
d) BCNF and hence also in 3NF, 2NF and 1NF
Answer:B
Explanation: The relation in second normal form is also in first normal form and no partial dependencies on any column in primary key.
