MINICASES

1. Consider the following relational database for Happy Cruise Lines. It keeps track of ships, cruises, ports, and passengers. A "cruise" is a particular sailing of a ship on a particular date. For example, the seven-day journey of the ship Pride of Tampa that leaves on June 13, 2011, is a cruise. Note the following facts about this environment.

• Both ship number and ship name are unique in the SHIP Table.

• A ship goes on many cruises over time. A cruise is associated with a single ship.

• A port is identified by the combination of port name and country.

• As indicated by the VISIT Table, a cruise includes visits to several ports and a port is typically included in several cruises.

• Both Passenger Number and Social Security Number are unique in the PASSENGER Table. A particular person has a single Passenger Number that is used for all the cruises she takes.

• The VOYAGE Table indicates that a person can take many cruises and a cruise, of course, has many passengers.
