5. Data Modeling Case Study
The following is description by a pharmacy owner:
"Jack Smith catches a cold and what he suspects is a flu virus. He makes an appointment with his family doctor who confirm his diagnosis. The doctor prescribes an antibiotic and nasal decongestant tablets. Jack leaves the doctor's office and drives to his local drug store. The pharmacist packages the medication and types the labels for pill bottles. The label includes information about customer, the doctor who prescribe the drug, the drug (e.g., Penicillin), when to take it, and how often, the content of the pill (250 mg), the number of refills, expiration date, and the date of purchase."
Please develop a data model for the entities and relationships within the context of pharmacy. Also develop a definition for "prescription". List all your underlying assumptions used in your data models.

8. An Informal Example of Normalization
A CUSTOMER ORDER contains the following information:
OrderNo
OrderDate
CustNo
CustAddress
CustType
Tax
Total
one or more than one Order-Item which has
ProductNo
Description
Quantity
UnitPrice
Subtotal.

9. Solution Unnormalized table 1st NF 2nd NF 3rd NF
(OrderNo, OrderDate, CustNo, CustAddress, CustType, Tax, Total,
1{ProductNo, Description, Quantity, UnitPrice,Subtotal}n)
Remove repeating group
(OrderNo, ProductNo, Description, Quantity, UnitPrice, Subtotal)
1st NF
Remove partial FD
2nd NF
(OrderNo, OrderDate, CustNo, CustAddress, CustType, Tax, Total)
Remove transitive FD
(OrderNo, ProductNo, Quantity, UnitPrice, Subtotal)
(ProductNo, Description, UnitPrice)
(OrderNo, OrderDate, CustNo, Tax, Total)
3rd NF
(CustNo, CustAddress, CustType)

10. SQL Select and Query Design in Access
SELECT COURSE.C_ID, COURSE.TITLE, COURSE.FEE
FROM COURSE
WHERE (((COURSE.FEE)>250 And (COURSE.FEE)<=350))
ORDER BY COURSE.FEE DESC;

11. JOIN and Aggregation Function
Show students ID, name, and GPA SELECT STUDENT.S_NO, STUDENT.NAME, Round(Avg(REGISTRATION.GRADE)*100)/100 AS AvgOfGRADE FROM STUDENT INNER JOIN REGISTRATION ON STUDENT.S_NO = REGISTRATION.S_NO GROUP BY STUDENT.S_NO, STUDENT.NAME; Or Format(Avg(REGISTRATION.GRADE), "###.00") AS AvgOfGRADE
