b) Identify the following

I. List down all the entities: Project

II. Kist down all the primary key: Job code
III. List down all the non- key: Job charges hour

c) Why do data redundancy occurred in the above table?

 There more than one people working in the same project
 There are also people with the same name working the project.

d) How does the relationship and link between entities could be call? Eg (1) there are many
student taking the same subject. (2) A doctor treats many patients.

Business rule: Only one person can work in one job but people can be employed in more

than one project.

: One employee is assigned to two project at the same time time with different
job charges per hour and they … there for this is an ONE TO MANY RELATIONSHIP.
