Question

Consider a relational table with a single record for each registered student with the following attributes.

1. Registration_Num: Unique registration number
of each registered student
2. UID: Unique identity number, unique at the
national level for each citizen
3. BankAccount_Num: Unique account number at
the bank. A student can have multiple accounts
or join accounts. This attribute stores the
primary account number.
4. Name: Name of the student
5. Hostel_Room: Room number of the hostel

Which one of the following option is INCORRECT?

a.

BankAccount_Num is candidate key

b.

Registration_Num can be a primary key

c.

UID is candidate key if all students are from the same country

d.

If S is a superkey such that S∩UID is NULL then S∪UID is also a superkey

Answer: (a).BankAccount_Num is candidate key

Q. Consider the following relational schema:

Suppliers(sid:integer, sname:string, city:string, street:string)
Parts(pid:integer, pname:string, color:string)
Catalog(sid:integer, pid:integer, cost:real)
(sid,pid are primary keys)
Assume that, in the suppliers relation above, each supplier and each street within a city has a unique name, and (sname, city) forms a candidate key. No other functional dependencies are implied other than those implied by primary and candidate keys. Which one of the following is TRUE about the above schema?
