Essay

Consider the following relational database for Grand Travel Airlines.
Grand Travel Airlines has to keep track of its flight and airplane history. A flight is uniquely identified by the combination of a flight number and a date. Every passenger who has flown on Grand Travel has a unique passenger number. For a particular passenger who has taken a particular flight, the company wants to keep track of the fare that she paid for it and the date that she made the reservation for it. Clearly, a passenger may have taken many flights (he must have taken at least one to be in the database) and every flight has had many passengers on it.
A pilot is identified by a unique pilot (or employee) number. A flight on a particular date has exactly one pilot. Each pilot has typically flown many flights but a pilot may be new to the company, is in training, and has not flown any flights, yet. Each airplane has a unique serial number. A flight on a particular date used one airplane. Each airplane has flown on many flights and dates, but a new airplane may not have been used at all, yet.
Grand Travel also wants to maintain data about its airplanes' maintenance history; each maintenance procedure has a unique procedure number. A maintenance location has a unique location name. Grand Travel wants to keep track of which airplane had which maintenance procedure performed at which location. For each such event it wants to know the date of the event and the duration.
