Q1. Compute the amount of storage needed for the following. Show your work.
For each of the following situations, design a database to hold the specified information drawing an entity-relationship (ER) diagram and writing a database design outline for the database required to hold the information described in the problem. A database design outline is a description of a database using the following notation (shown here for an example we used in class). Primary key fields must be underlined and foreign keys annotated with "attribute foreign key to TABLE".
CUSTOMER(CustomerID, FirstName, LastName, StreetAddress, City, State,
Zip, Phone)
LOAN(LoanID, Date, Loan Amount, Rate, Term, Type, CustID)
CustID foreign key to CUSTOMER
PAYMENT(LoanID, PaymentNumber, Date, PaymentAmount)
LoanID foreign key to LOAN
In your answers, all tables must have a primary key; you may add synthetic-key "ID" fields to tables whenever necessary.
An entity-relationship (ER) diagram means a graphical depiction of the database structure as given in class. For the example above, the diagram would be as follows:
In each question below, assume that any
“address information” specified is in U.S. format, consisting of fields for
street address, city, state code, and zip code.
Assume that you do not have the master zip code table in your databases, so that city,
state, and zip code may be treated as independent.
