Foreign key

A binary one-to-many (1:N) relationship in an E-R diagram is represented by adding the primary key attribute (or attributes) of the entity on the one side of the relationship as a(n) ________ in the relation that is on the many side of the relationship.

A relation for which every nonprimary key attribute is functionally dependent on the whole primary key.

3NF

A relation is in ________ if every non-primary key attribute is not functionally dependent on any of the other non-primary keys except the primary key.

Well-structured relation (or table)

A relation that contains a minimum amount of redundancy and allows users to insert, modify, and delete the rows without errors or inconsistencies.

Primary key

An attribute whose value is unique across all occurrences of a relation.

Referential integrity

An integrity constraint specifying that the value (or existence) of an attribute in one relation depends on the value (or existence) of the same attribute in another relation.

Column

Each ________ in a relation corresponds to an attribute of that relation.

Row

Each ________ of a relation corresponds to a record that contains data values for an entity.

Primary key
