Data Modeling Case Study
The following is description by a pharmacy owner:
"Jack Smith catches a cold and what he suspects is a flu virus.
He makes an appointment with his family doctor who confirm
his diagnosis. The doctor prescribes an antibiotic and nasal
decongestant tablets. Jack leaves the doctor's office and drives
to his local drug store. The pharmacist packages the
medication and types the labels for pill bottles. The label
includes information about customer, the doctor who prescribe
the drug, the drug (e.g., Penicillin), when to take it, and how
often, the content of the pill (250 mg), the number of refills,
expiration date, and the date of purchase."
Please develop a data model for the entities and
relationships within the context of pharmacy. Also
develop a definition for "prescription". List all your
underlying assumptions used in your data models.

Solution
Unnormalized table
(OrderNo, OrderDate, CustNo, CustAddress, CustType, Tax, Total,
1{ProductNo, Description, Quantity, UnitPrice,Subtotal}n)
Remove repeating group
1st NF
(OrderNo, ProductNo, Description, Quantity, UnitPrice, Subtotal)
Remove partial FD
2nd NF
(OrderNo, OrderDate, CustNo, CustAddress, CustType, Tax, Total)
Remove transitive FD
(OrderNo, ProductNo, Quantity, UnitPrice, Subtotal)
(ProductNo, Description, UnitPrice)
3rd NF
(OrderNo, OrderDate, CustNo, Tax, Total)
(CustNo, CustAddress, CustType)
