Is it always possible to achieve the following three goals for a relational database design simultaneously: (a) BCNF; (b) lossless join; (c) dependency preservation.
No. It is not always possible to achieve BCNF,lossless join and dependency preservation.
As it is not always possible to achieve both BCNF and dependency preservation, we consider a weaker normal form, known as 3NF. The dependencies are preserved in the 3NF.

Relational Database Design Theory, please answers ALL parts because they are related to each other, and I can't separate it into different questions. Please help! By looking at the PHLogger table: A. List all non-trivial functional dependencies. B. What is the highest normal form the PHLogger table is in currently? C. The external consulting experts at DBInstructor, Inc., have noticed that city and state of an address can be inferred by its postal code (zip code). What new functional dependencies...

MySQL: Consider the following abstract relational schema: (A, B, C, D, E, F) Now assume the following functional dependencies: A -> B, C, D, E, F C -> B Note: This implies that A is a key. Is this database in 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, or BCNF? Why?
1. Given the following BANKING database, formulate a Relational Algebra expression for each of the following questions. SELECT should be performed before any JOIN operation. Notation: use the symbol S for SELECT, P for PROJECT, J for INNER JOIN, * for NATURAL JOIN, LJ for LEFT JOIN, RJ for RIGHT JOIN, R for RENAME, and F for FUNCTION. Please type your answer; hand-writing is not accepted. branch(branch_name, branch_city, assets) customer (customer_name, customer_street, customer_city) loan (loan_number, branch_name, amount) borrower (customer_name, loan_number)...
consider the following relational database that records details of parts and suppliers. Primary keys are underlined and the Foreign Keys are identified with (FK). Suppliers (sid, sname, address, credit) Parts (pid, pname, color) Catalog (sid (FK), pid (FK), cost) The credit attribute denotes the size of the supplier’s credit account. The Catalog relation lists the prices charged for parts by Suppliers. Which of the following queries returns the snames of suppliers who supply every part? Select one or more: a....
