Describe the problems that may occur when integrating relations
What will be an ideal response?
Four problems may arise: synonyms, homonyms, dependencies between nonkeys, and class/subclass relationships. Synonyms are when two or more attributes may have different names but the same meaning, as when they describe the same characteristic of an entity. In other situations, a single attribute name, called a homonym, may have more than one meaning or describe more than one characteristic. For Dependencies between Nonkeys when two 3NF relations are merged to form a single relation, dependencies between nonkeys may result. Class/Subclass relationships may be hidden in user views or relations.
