Match the following course activities with their purposes as described in the text:

Open questions to promote discussion on relevant topics = Encouraging dialogue and deeper understanding of concepts Questions with standard answers = Testing comprehension and knowledge retention Program demonstrations on the concepts = Providing practical examples for better understanding Independent activities and case activities based on a particular scenario = Applying theoretical knowledge to real-world situations

Match the following recommendations with their purposes in the context of the text:

Advising to attend tutorials and interact with tutors = To address questions instantly and gain valuable insights Encouraging to raise any problem encountered in the course of study = Seeking assistance to overcome obstacles and enhance learning experience Proposing to spend one week on each unit with associated TMA = Ensuring systematic progress and completion within 30 weeks Emphasizing the importance of practice in learning concepts = Enhancing understanding through practical application

Match the set theoretic operation with its description:

UNION = Combines tuples that are in either result1 or result2 or both INTERSECTION = Produces tuples that are common in both result1 and result2 SET DIFFERENCE = Retrieves tuples that are in result1 but not in result2 CROSS PRODUCT = Generates all possible combinations of tuples from two relations Signup and view all the answers

Match the relation with its content:

RESULT1 = Social security numbers of all employees who work in department 5 RESULT2 = Social security numbers of all employees who directly supervise an employee in department 5 RESULT = Combination of RESULT1 and RESULT2 after applying set operations TABLE 1.5 = Query result showing the output after UNION operation Signup and view all the answers

Match the characteristics with union compatibility:

Same degree = Two relations must have the same number of attributes Same types of tuples = Two relations must have tuples with matching data types Binary operators = Operations like UNION, INTERSECTION, and SET DIFFERENCE are applied to two sets Adapted to relational database = Set operations are applied to relations with the same attributes Signup and view all the answers

Match the correct term with its definition:

Relation = A table representing a set of tuples sharing the same attributes Union compatible = Property where two relations can undergo set operations if they meet certain conditions Degree of a relation = Number of attributes in a relation Tuple = A single row/record in a relation Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their correct definitions:

Branch-name = Name of the bank branch making a loan Loan-number = Unique identifier for a loan Amount = Value of the loan Customer-name = Name of the customer taking the loan Signup and view all the answers

Match the following relations with their respective schemes:

Borrow-scheme = [branch-name, loan-number, amount] Deposit-scheme = [branch-name, account-number, customer-name, balance] BD-scheme = [branch-name, loan-number, amount, account-number, balance, customer-name] Relation on scheme = A tuple representing information about loans and accounts Signup and view all the answers

Match the following facts with their implications on database design:
