CIW 1D0-541 Exam - Topic 2 Question 98 Discussion

Consider the Information Engineering diagram shown in the exhibit for a buildingmanagement company. Referential integrity must be maintained such that a building cannot bedeleted when it has residents. Building_ID, R_ID, Room_Count and Room_Num are integernumbers, whereas Bldg_Name, Location and Res_Name are all represented by variable-lengthstrings with a maximum of 20 characters. Which SQL statement best implements the relationsshown in this diagram?
D) CREATE TABLE BUILDING ( Building_ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Bldg_Name VARCHAR (20), Location VARCHAR (20), Room_Count INTEGER ); CREATE TABLE RESIDENT ( R_ID NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Room_Num INTEGER, Res_Name VARCHAR (20), Building_ID INTEGER NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY Building_ID REFERENCES BUILDING (Building_ID) ON DELETE NO CHECK ON UPDATE CASCADE);
A) CREATE TABLE BUILDING ( Building_ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Bldg_Name VARCHAR (20), Location VARCHAR (20), Room_Count INTEGER ); CREATE TABLE RESIDENT ( R_ID NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Room_Num INTEGER, Res_Name VARCHAR (20), Building_ID INTEGER NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY Building_ID REFERENCES RESIDENT (Building_ID) ON DELETE NO CHECK);
B) CREATE TABLE BUILDING ( Building_ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Bldg_Name VARCHAR (20), Location VARCHAR (20), Room_Count INTEGER ); CREATE TABLE RESIDENT ( R_ID NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Room_Num INTEGER, Res_Name VARCHAR (20), Building_ID INTEGER NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY Building_ID REFERENCES BUILDING (Building_ID) ON DELETE NO CHECK ON UPDATE CASCADE);

Consider the Information Engineering diagram shown in the exhibit for a building

management company. Referential integrity must be maintained such that a building cannot be

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 relations

shown in this diagram?

Isn't it weird that you can delete a building with residents?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the ON DELETE NO CHECK part might be wrong in all options. Shouldn't it be ON DELETE RESTRICT instead?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about referential integrity needing to prevent deletions when there are related records.

I'm going with option D. It's the most concise and clear implementation of the relations shown in the diagram. As a bonus, the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause means I don't have to worry about manually updating references when a building's ID changes. Score one for the lazy programmer!

This is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option C since it's the same as option D, but with a more descriptive comment. The ON DELETE NO CHECK and ON UPDATE CASCADE clauses are important to maintain referential integrity.

I'm not sure about the ON DELETE NO CHECK clause. Shouldn't it be ON DELETE RESTRICT to prevent deleting a building with residents?

That's a good point, ON DELETE CASCADE would ensure that the related residents are also deleted when a building is deleted.

But wouldn't ON DELETE CASCADE be more appropriate to automatically delete the related residents when a building is deleted?

I think option D is the correct answer. The foreign key constraint on the Building_ID column in the RESIDENT table references the BUILDING table, ensuring referential integrity. The ON DELETE NO CHECK clause prevents deleting a building that has residents, and the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause ensures that changes to the Building_ID in the BUILDING table are propagated to the RESIDENT table.
