If we delete a tuple from the StaffBranch relation that represents the last member of staff located at a branch, the details about that branch are also lost from the database. For ex- ample, if we delete the tuple for staff number SA9 (Mary Howe) from the StaffBranch relation, the details relating to branch number B007 are lost from the database. The design of the relations in Figure 13.2 avoids this problem, because branch tuples are stored sep- arately from staff tuples and only the attribute branchNo relates the two relations. If we delete the tuple for staff number SA9 from the Staff relation, the details on branch num- ber B007 remain unaffected in the Branch relation.
