7-7. Explain the origin of Figures 7-23 and 7-24. What application created each? Where did the data for constructing the tables in Figure 7-24 arise? Using your intuition and database knowledge, explain how the relationship between Person and Workout is defined in Figure 7-23. What coding in Figure 7-23 ensures that every row in Workout will correspond to some row in Person?

7-11. Data in the Person table most likely duplicates data in health clubs’ membership databases as well as data in healthcare providers’ patient database. Will this duplication create problems for the health clubs, healthcare providers, and PRIDE users? If not, say why not. If so, give two examples of problems and suggest ways that those problems can be solved.
7-12. Explain the ways in which the PRIDE database eliminates possible enterprise-level information silos. Explain ways that it might create another form of information silo.
7-13. Given what you know so far, do you think the PRIDE system is likely to be successful? Explain your answer.
