Map the swimmer ERD in last homework into a relational schema, please use the answer key given by the instructor for the mapping if your design is flawed.
o write out the relational schema based on your mapping result and specify the pks and the referential integrity constraints.
o Introduce surrogate keys for tables with composite keys (note this is a requirement that’s different from the previous question) and specify the referential integrity constraints.

Question 2 (50 pts)
map the CD ERD in last homework into a relational schema. please use the answer key given by the instructor for the mapping if your design is flawed.
o write out the relational schema based on your mapping result and specify the pks and the referential integrity constraints.
o Introduce surrogate keys for tables with composite keys and specify the pks and the referential integrity constraints.

Question 3:

 if it helps you, please tell me in what way
