Table 3-1 indicates that there are 3 crew members on the Lookout team.

The paragraph after Table 3-2 says that after crew member "Wells" is deleted,
no members remain on team Lookout. Either this is a contradiction or I am
missing something here.

First full sentence on the page

I don't believe that Table 3-1 is in 3NF. The PK is a combo of
"Cream Member" and "Team Name." I don't think that the PK can
be anything else. If this is true, then the attribute "Leader
Name" is a function of only part of the PK. Consequently, the table
is not in 3NF.

4th paragraph

The sentence "Her preference is for a blue Ghia but she does not
mind which model". The word "model" needs to be changed to "car"
because Ghia is a model type.

l_empno := g_empno(g_empno_ind);
should be:
l_empno := g_empno(I);
