The ER model, provided below, contains errors and is incomplete. You need to identify the errors/omissions, rectify them, and then redraw the diagram, so that the redrawn ER model illustrates the entities and relationships for a Strata unit model with the following requirements:
- a building can have many strata units
- each building must have its address recorded
- a strata unit is situated in one building only
- an owner can own many strata units
- an owner can have many contact numbers
- a strata unit can be owned by many owners
- each owner’s percentage owning of the strata unit must be recorded
- building, owner and strata unit are identified by their respective ids
Note: If you have any additional assumptions, mention them along with your redrawn diagram.

Converting ER models
Convert your redrawn ER model for Question 1 in Part A into a set of relations that satisfy Third Normal Form (3NF). You do not need to show your workings. You do not need to justify that they are in 3NF at this stage. You do not need to show sample data. Just show/write the relations. You can write your relations in either format shown below:
Student (StudentID, StudentName, DateOfBirth)
Enrolment (EnrolmentID, StudentID, DateOfEnrolment)
or:
Student (StudentID, StudentName, DateOfBirth)
Enrolment (EnrolmentID, StudentID, DateOfEnrolment) Foreign key (StudentID) references Student
Question 3 3 Marks
Relational model and Normalisation
An incorrect relation NursingSkill has been shown below. The primary key of the relation is (NurseId, SkillId). Examine the relation and answer the questions that follow.
Note: A nurse can have many skills. A nurse is identified by NurseId and a skill is identified by SkillId
NursingSkill
NurseId | Name | SkillId | SkillName |
N001 | John Smith | S1 | Wound Management |
N001 | John Smith | S2 | Blood sample collection |
N002 | Mary Smith | S1 | Wound Management |
N003 | Rose Miller | S1 | Wound Management |
- Explain the ‘insertion anomaly’ that exists in the above relation by providing an example. (1 mark)
- What is the highest normal form that NursingSkill relation satisfies and why? (1 mark)
- Normalise NursingSkill relation into a set of relations that satisfy 3NF using the format as follows:
Customer (CustomerID, CustomerName)
Order (OrderID, Amount, Date, CustomerID)
Foreign key (CustomerID) references Customer (1 mark)
