2 Database
The following relational schema is given for a car rental system:
Brand(BrandID, BrandName)
Company(CompanyID, CompanyName, City)
Car(Plate, Model, Year, Color, Price, Type, BrandID, CompanyID)
Foreign Key (BrandID) →Brand (BrandID)
Foreign Key (CompanyID) →Company (CompanyID)
Customer(SSN, Age, Gender, Name, Surname)
Rental(RentalID, SSN, Plate, PickUpDate, ReturnDate)
Foreign Key (Plate) →Cars (Plate)
Foreign Key (SSN) →Customer (SSN)
The Brand table stores car brands, such as ’Honda’ and ’BMW,’ among
others. The Company table contains information about rental companies.
The Cars table contains information about individual cars, including models
(e.g., ’A5,’ ’Civic,’ ’Fiesta’), year of manufacture (numeric format, e.g., 2023 or
2010), color options (e.g., ’Red,’ ’White,’ ’Black’), prices (e.g., 1200, 900), and
types (e.g., ’Sedan,’ ’SUV’). The Customer table stores information related to
customers. The Rental table stores information about car rentals. For example,
an entity could be as follows: The customer with SSN 123456789 rented the car
with the plate ’00-AB-1234,’ picked up the car from the rental company on 13
October 2023, and returned the car to the company on 18 October 2023.
