database that contains staff data. The database has the following three relations:

• Staff_Info
• Section
• Department

answer, use any suitable field set of your choice. You must include the fields
staff_id, staffName, section_ID, Department_ID in the appropriate relations.

2 Name the MySQL command that you would use to validate your work in Question 1
above.

of the term “relationship” as it is used in database technology.
