Scenario:
XYZ is a fabric manufacturing company. This company is planning to implement DWH for its existing OLTP system implemented in 300 + stores all over Pakistan. Size of company’s Database is approx. 298 GB that grows at the rate of 0.8 GB per day approximately. Company has designed a state of the art DWH in its head office in terms of hardware and software. Hardware consists of 7 Systems having quad-core processors. In ideal situation, a complex query would return results in 27 minutes on single processor (serial execution).
After analyzing the scenario given above, you are required to answer the following questions;
Question # 1 – If a complex query is executed parallel on 6 single core processors then what would be the quantified speed up time.
Question # 2 – Calculate Speed up ratio using Amdahl’s Law, if 80% of query processing is done through parallel execution on DWH hardware.

Assignment
XYZ polyclinic is a well-reputed clinic providing good medical facilities in a posh area of Lahore. They also have a facility to admit a patient if the treatment requires. XYZ polyclinic was working manually for the last 10 years. You are hired by XYZ polyclinic management to design a database by reading the system’s requirements. Management of XYZ polyclinic decides to improve their system that would lead to convert the Database system to Data Warehouse for XYZ polyclinic in the future.
Database Requirements:
The organization is interested in storing name, patient’s CNIC, address, city, zip, province, country, phone number, referred by, admission date, and discharge date for storing patient’s information in the database. The referred by (would contain doctor’s id), admission date and discharge date attributes are only used in case of patient’s admission in a specific room. From the doctor’s point of view, they are interested to store doctor name, CNIC of doctor, address, city, zip, province, country, doctor’s phone number, area of specialization. We must store the treatment information that is suggested by the doctor for a specific patient which includes prescribed medicines. Medicine details must contain medicine id, name, dosage, and potency as attributes along with reference of treatment that is suggested by a doctor. If a patient would require getting admit in polyclinic then the room type (executive/common), phone extension and charges per day are going to be stored in the system as room attributes.
Some additional constraints about the system are as under;
One patient is referred to one/more doctor at a time.
Multiple patients would be examined by the doctor in a day
One patient may have multiple visits to a single doctor
Room capacity/facilities for attendants would not be handled at this time
One patient may use many medicines as suggested by doctor
Every time visit to a doctor may result in a change of medicine or admitted to the polyclinic
TASK to Perform and Submit:
Identify relevant entities, primary keys, foreign keys, proper attributes and relations as per 2NF for the above scenario and provide database/schema/table-structure in MS-Word format that is Normalized up to 2nd Normal Form.
Important Note:
There’s no need to implement the solution using any DBMS
Attribute Names should be clearly mentioned

Question Title GDB - CS614
Question Description
Scenario
“Choice Restaurant” is a chain of restaurants having five branches across the country. This restaurant typically deals in fast food and has 40 to 100 customers a day in each branch.
The Management of this company has introduced an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) system to handle the daily transactions. The Management is very concerned for cutting up the cost and attain customer satisfaction, therefore currently there is only one computer system per branch which is handling all the computing tasks (including transaction processing) but in future they have plans to induce DSS.
To speed up the online transaction processing the database manager is compelling the management to implement parallelism for this OLTP system during business hours for daily sales calculations.
Management is yet to decide that whether they should invest on the parallelism or not.
GDB Question:
Keeping the above scenario in mind do you think that implementing parallelism in above situation is a good option? Justify your answer with appropriate reason(s) in either case.
GDB Answer Template:
Choice: Parallelism used or not
Points of Justification:
Point 1:
Point 2:
Important Notes:
NO GDB is accepted via e-mail in any case
Lengthy replies of GDB will cause in deduction of marks. So you write your answer precisely within 3 to 5 lines in 2 points along with choice.
If you would not mention your choice at start of your answer, your GDB points would not be marked.

Assignment
XYZ company was established in 1989 in Karachi and deals in the business of garments export. There are 250 permanent employees that are working with XYZ company. XYZ’s admin department is maintaining employee’s leave records in hard form. The leave form currently in practice is shown below:
Now XYZ company wants you to design a Database solution for their organization, you are required to develop a database that is normalized up to the 3rd Normal form. In the future, this database can be used for developing front end application.
A raw table structure along with attributes are provided by the XYZ’s management to start your working on it, is as following;
employeeLeaveForm (employeeID, empName, designation, officeName, dateOfFill, leaveType, leaveFromDate, leaveToDate, leaveReason, leaveAddress, leaveContactNo, leaveProcessDate, leaveStatus, leaveProcessedBy),
Sample data for the table is provided on VULMS for your reference. To view / download this data, use the following link;
https://vulms.vu.edu.pk/Courses/CS614/Downloads/CS614 - SP 2019 - Assignment 1 - Sample Data.xlsx
You have to use exact given attributes names while normalizing this table to 3rd Normal form.
Instructions to solve assignment:
Use table employeeLeaveForm and attributes in it. You are not allowed to remove any of the provided attributes
You may introduce new tables by using the same attributes in employeeLeaveForm and also add new attributes for indexing / normalization purpose
You are also required to declare Primary and Foreign Keys from the provided list of attributes (Also represent them with suitable DB notation while writing table schema)
Transform the table in 3rd normal form step by step i.e. First Normal form transformation then into 2nd normal form and then into 3rd. Also, mention the title of Normal Form before the transformation.
Direct transform relation into 3rd normal form would result in zero marks whether your solution is correct. And this will be imposed strictly while marking this assignment with no later excuses.
Example of resultant tables / solution should be in the form provided below:
tableNo1 (attribute1, attribute2, …)
tableNo2 (attributeX, attributeY, …)
tableNo3 (attributeI, attributeX, …)
attribute1, attributeX and attributeI (with solid underline) are primary keys in tableNo1, tableNo2 and tableNo3 respectively while attribute (With dotted underline) is foreign key in tableNo3 from referee tableNo2.
Deadline:
Your assignment must be uploaded on VULMS on or before May 15, 2019. While May 16, 2019 will be a bonus day for assignment submission. After the bonus day, no assignment would be entertained via email.

4_ Goal driven approach of data warehouse development was result of ______ work
Böhnlein and Ulbrich-vom _ pg285The goal-driven approach to data warehouse development resulted from Bill Inmon’s work.
Bill Inmon, often referred to as the “father of data warehousing,” advocated for a methodical, top-down approach to data warehouse development. This approach focuses on defining business goals and requirements first and then designing the data warehouse to meet these needs. It emphasizes the importance of a clear understanding of business objectives and data requirements before designing and implementing the data warehouse.
In contrast, Ralph Kimball’s approach is known for its bottom-up methodology, which focuses on building data marts first and then integrating them into a comprehensive data warehouse. Both approaches have their own merits, but Inmon’s goal-driven approach is specifically recognized for its emphasis on aligning data warehouse development with business goals and objectives.
