The Relational Model and Normalization

1. 
Every time attribute A appears, it is matched with the same value of attribute B, but not the same value of attribute C. Therefore, it is true that:
A.A → B.
B.A → C.
C.A → (B,C).
D.(B,C) → A.
2. 
The different classes of relations created by the technique for preventing modification anomalies are called:
A.normal forms.
B.referential integrity constraints.
C.functional dependencies.
D.None of the above is correct.

3. 
A relation is in this form if it is in BCNF and has no multivalued dependencies:
A.second normal form.
B.third normal form.
C.fourth normal form.
D.domain/key normal form.
4. 
Row is synonymous with the term:
A.recordB.relation.
C.column.D.field.
5. 
The primary key is selected from the:
A.composite keys.
B.determinants.
C.candidate keys
D.foreign keys.
6. 
Which of the following is a group of one or more attributes that uniquely identifies a row?
A.KeyB.Determinant
C.TupleD.Relation
7. 
When the values in one or more attributes being used as a foreign key must exist in another set of one or more attributes in another table, we have created a(n):
A.transitive dependency.
B.insertion anomaly.
C.referential integrity constraint
D.normal form.
8. 
A relation is considered a:
A.Column.
B.one-dimensional table.
C.two-dimensional table
D.three-dimensional table.
9. 
In the relational model, relationships between relations or tables are created by using:
A.composite keys.
B.determinants.
C.candidate keys
D.foreign keys
10. 
A functional dependency is a relationship between or among:
A.tables.B.rows.
C.relations.D.attributes
