3． Which of the following is true about primary keys and foreign keys holding NULL value?d (a) A primary key cannot hold a NULL value and a foreign key cannot hold a NULL value (b) A primary key can hold a NULL value and a foreign key can hold a NULL value (c) A primary key can hold a NULL value and a foreign key cannot hold a NULL value (d) A primary key cannot hold a NULL value and a foreign key can hold a NULL value 4． What does a projection operation do?d
(a) It extends the number of columns in a table. (b) It selects rows from a table. (c) It extends the number of rows in a table. (d) It selects columns from a table.

(b) It must be atomic and it cannot be an abstract data type. (c) It must be atomic and it can be an abstract data type. (d) It need not be atomic and it can be an abstract data type.
9． Which of the following SQL commands can be used to change, add, or drop column definitions from a
table?a (a) ALTER TABLE (b) CHANGE TABLE (c) UPDATE TABLE (d) MODIFY TABLE
10． Which of the following is true about the physical storage of tables defined by views?d (a) There is no extra physical storage needed to store tables that a view defines. (b) Extra physical storage is always needed to store tables that a view defines.
(c) Extra physical storage is needed for storing the tables defined by views, only if views define additional non-existing

Problem 2. You will be working with the following schema:
Employee (SSN, name, salary, DNo) Department (DNo, DeptName, MgrSSN) Project (PNo, location, ProjName) HourLog (SSN, PNo, hours)
The Employee relation provides a list of employees with their SSN, name, salary, and department number (DNo). The SSN is unique for each employee. Each employee belongs to only one department. The Department relation contains a list of the departments for the company. Its schema includes a unique department number called DNo. It also includes the name of the department (DeptName) and the social security number of the department's manager (MgrSSN). Each department has a only one manager. The Project relation includes a unique project number (PNo), location and the project name (ProjName). An employee can be assigned to any number (including zero) projects. Each project has at least one person assigned to it. Finally, the HourLog relation lists for each project the number of hours of work for each employee who is assigned to that project. The key of this relation is SSN and PNo.
