b.9. Descriptive predicates are also not usually given these days, because they can be _read_ the model: ____County is described by ( StateId, CountyCode, Name )  However, if that is proving difficult, please ask, and I will get him to provide. It only takes a few seconds, and I always say, do anything and everything in order to be understood.

b.10 We produce State Transition and Transaction Sequence diagrams, as standard practice. I would think those are out-of-scope re Normalisation. But if it helps, if it increases understanding the database, of which the model is merely one rendition, eg. what operations are performed on those predicates, and under what conditions do those operations perform their function, please ask. Seconds away.

b.11 All updates to the database are performed via OLTP standard-compliant Transactions. Therefore View Updating and similar crimes against nature are a non-issue.
