Work Step by Step

Certainly, to design a relational database for authors, titles, and publishers while avoiding redundancies, you can create three tables: Authors, Titles, and Publishers. 1. **Authors Table:** - AuthorID (Primary Key) - AuthorName 2. **Titles Table:** - TitleID (Primary Key) - TitleName - AuthorID (Foreign Key referencing Authors table) - PublisherID (Foreign Key referencing Publishers table) - PublicationYear - ISBN 3. **Publishers Table:** - PublisherID (Primary Key) - PublisherName This design ensures that information about authors is stored in the Authors table, titles in the Titles table, and publishers in the Publishers table. The relationship between these tables is established through foreign keys, minimizing redundancy and maintaining data integrity.
