1. Convert this table to a relation (named PART SUPPLIER) in first normal form.

Illustrate
the relation with the sample data in the table.

PART SUPPLIER

Part No Description Vendor name Address Unit cost

1234 Logic chip Fast Chips Cupertino 10.00
1234 Logic chip Smart Chips Phoenix 8.00
5678 Memory chip Fast Chips Cupertino 3.00
5678 Memory chip Quality Chips Austin 2.00
5678 Memory chip Smart Chips Phoenix 5.00

2. List the functional dependencies in PART SUPPLIER and identify a candidate key
 Transitive Dependencies
Part No, Vendor Name Unit Cost

 Partial Dependencies
Part No Description
Vendor Name Address

 Part No and Vendor Name can be the candidate keys for the PART
SUPPLIER
3. For the relation PART SUPPLIER, identify each of the following: an insert anomaly,
a delete anomaly, and a modification anomaly
 Insert anomaly- If a part number is not included, cannot add a new vendor.
 Delete anomaly- If we delete part information the vendor information also will be
deleted.
 Modification anomaly- we will update the records for a vendor if they change their
address.

4. Draw a relational schema for PART SUPPLIER and show the functional dependencies.
