Exercise 1: Two operational database schemata are given: RESEARCH DB AUTHORS (AuthCode,FirstName, LastName, Position, IdNumber) ARTICLES (ArtCode, Title, MainAuthor: AUTHORS, Journal Name, Journal Publisher) NEW_RESEARCH_DB RESEARCHERS (IdNumber, ResearcherFirstName, Researcher Last Name, Position, Recruitment Date) JOURNALS (Journal.code, JournalName, Language, classification, Publishercode, PublisherName, PublisherCountry) RESEARCH_PRODUCTS (Prodcode,Title, Type, Journal Code : JOURNALS) // research products may be of type “journal paper” or “patent” AUTHOR_PRODUCT (Prodcode: RESEARCH PRODUCTS, IdNumber:RESEARCHERS, ISMain) The first database stores the articles written by researchers of the University of Bologna till 2000; the second database stores the articles and the patents since 2000 (a patent has one or more authors but it is not associated to any journal; the Ismain attribute is Boolean).
