Question 7.
CORRECT TEXT
Consider the Information Engineering diagram shown in the exhibit. Building_ID, R_ID, Room_Count and Room_Num are integer numbers, whereas Bldg_Name, Location and Res_Name are all represented by variable-length strings with a maximum of 20 characters.

Which SQL statement best implements the RESIDENT relation shown in this diagram?
 

Answer: CREATE TABLE RESIDENT (
Room_Num, Res_Name, BuildingJD NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY
R_ID NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
BuildingJDREFERENCES BUILDING(BuildingJD));
RoomJMum, ResJMame,
BuildingJD NOT NULL);

Answer: CREATE TABLE RESIDENT( RJD
INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Room_Num INTEGER, ResJMame
VARCHAR (20), BuildingJD INTEGER NOT
NULL);

Answer: CREATE TABLE RESIDENT( RJD INTEGER NOT NULL
PRIMARY KEY, Room_Num INTEGER, ResJMame VARCHAR (20),
BuildingJD INTEGER NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY BuildingJD
REFERENCES BUILDING (BuildingJD));
