This design captures: --Multiple movies showing in a theatre --Different show timings for each movie --Multiple screens in a theatre --Seat management for each show --Different pricing for different seat categories --Show date and time management --Movie details including language and certification
Additional considerations: --We might want to add tables for booking management --User management would be needed for actual ticket booking --Payment related tables would be required --Tables for offers and promotions could be added --Movie ratings and reviews could be separate entities
This schema follows normalization rules: 1NF: All tables have primary keys No repeating groups All attributes contain atomic values
2NF: Satisfies 1NF All non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key
3NF: Satisfies 2NF No transitive dependencies Each non-key attribute depends only on the primary key
BCNF: Satisfies 3NF For each functional dependency X → Y, X is a super key
Key features: --Used appropriate data types and constraints --Implemented foreign key relationships --Added timestamps for auditing --Used ENUM for fixed value fields --Created unique constraints where needed --Added sample data matching the screenshot --The schema allows for: --Multiple shows per movie --Different pricing per show and seat category --Tracking seat availability --Multiple screens per theatre --Different screen types and formats
