  1. This discussion about the midterm may be of interest to all:

    1. In question 2 how is the input given, how do we parse the given Xpath expression?


    You can assume that the expression has already been parsed and you have a syntax tree. Parsing is not a focus of this problem.


    2. In question 3, databases A and B are exactly the same except for the order in which elements appear in entry right?, Description
    is little confusing.


    A is not in first normal form because it stores SEQUENCES of phone numbers with subscribers. B is in first normal form.
