Ray Henry is considering expanding the inventory at his book stores to include movies. He has some special ideas for how he wants to implement this change, and he needs you to help with database design activities. In each excercise, represent your answer in DBDL and with a diagram. You may use any of the styles presented in this chapter for the diagram.
1. Design a database for Ray. He is interested in movies and wants to keep information on movies, actors, and directors in a database. The only user is Ray, and he needs to produce the following reports:
a. For each director, list his or her number and name and the year he or she was born. If the director is deceased, list the year of death.
b. For each movie, list its number, its title, the year the movie was made, and its type (for example, Comedy, Drama, or Science Fiction).
c. For each movie, list its number, its title, the number and name of its director, the critics' rating, the MPAA rating (G, PG, PG-13, or R), the number of awards for which the movie was nominated, and the number of awards the movie won. (The critics rate the movie with a number of "stars." Four stars is the top rating possible. Zero stars is the worst possible rating.)
d. For each lead actor starring in each movie, list his or her number, name and birthplace and the year he or she was born. If the actor is deceased, list the year of death.
e. For each movie, list its number and title, along with the number and name of the actors who appeared in it.
f. For each lead actor starring in each movie, list his or her number and name, along with the number and name of the other movies in which the actor starred.
