VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

1. What is database?
ANS: A database is a logically coherent collection of data with some inherent meaning,
representing some aspect of real world and which is designed, built and populated with data for a
specific purpose.
2. What are the benefits DBMS?
ANS:DBMS provides the following benefits.
a. Redundancy is controlled.

b.
c.
d.
e.

Unauthorised access is restricted.

Providing multiple user interfaces.
Enforcing integrity constraints.
Providing backup and recovery.

3. What is a Database system?

ANS: The database and DBMS software together is called as Database system.
4. Disadvantage in File Processing System?
ANS: following are the disadvantages of FPS
Data redundancy & inconsistency.
Difficult in accessing data.
Data isolation.
Data integrity.
Concurrent access is not possible.
Security Problems. .
5. Describe the three levels of data abstraction?
ANSWER: The are three levels of abstraction:
Physical level: The lowest level of abstraction describes how data are stored.
Logical level: The next higher level of abstraction, describes what data are stored in database and
what relationship among those data.
View level: The highest level of abstraction describes only part of entire database.
6. Define the "integrity rules"
ANS: There are two Integrity rules.
? Entity Integrity: States that ?Primary key cannot have NULL value?
? Referential Integrity: States that ?Foreign Key can be either a NULL value or should be
Primary Key value of other relation.
7. What is Data Independence?
ANS: Data independence means that ?the application is independent of the storage structure and
access strategy of data?. In other words, The ability to modify the schema definition in one level
should not affect the schema definition in the next higher level.

Two types of Data Independence:

? Physical Data Independence : Modification in physical level should not affect the logical level.
? Logical Data Independence : Modification in logical level should affect the view level.
NOTE: Logical Data Independence is more difficult to achieve
8. What is a view? How it is related to data independence?
ANS: A view may be thought of as a virtual table, that is, a table that does not really exist in its
own right but is instead derived from one or more underlying base table. In other words, there is
no stored file that direct represents the view instead a definition of view is stored in data
dictionary.
Growth and restructuring of base tables is not reflected in views. Thus the view can insulate
users from the effects of restructuring and growth in the database. Hence accounts for logical
data independence. .
9. What is an Entity?
ANS: It is a 'thing' in the real world with an independent existence.
10. What is an Entity type?
ANS: It is a collection (set) of entities that have same attributes.
11. What is an Entity set?
ANS: It is a collection of all entities of particular entity type in the database.
12. What is Weak Entity set?
ANS: An entity set may not have sufficient attributes to form a primary key, and its primary key
compromises of its partial key and primary key of its parent entity, then it is said to be Weak
Entity set.
13. What is an attribute?
ANS: It is a particular property, which describes the entity.
14. What is Relationship?
ANS: It is an association among two or more entities.
15. What is degree of Relationship type?
ANSWER: It is the number of entity type participating.

16. What is DML (Data Manipulation Language)?

ANSWER: This language that enable user to access or manipulate data as organised by
appropriate data model.
? Procedural DML or Low level: DML requires a user to specify what data are needed and how
to get those data.
? Non-Procedural DML or High level: DML requires a user to specify what data are needed
without specifying how to get those data.
17. What is Relational Algebra?
ANSWER: It is procedural query language. It consists of a set of operations that take one or two
relations as input and produce a new relation.
18. What is normalization?
ANSWER:
It is a process of analysing the given relation schemas based on their Functional Dependencies
(FDs) and primary key to achieve the properties
? Minimizing redundancy
? Minimizing insertion, deletion and update anomalies.
19. What is 1 NF (Normal Form)?
ANSWER:The domain of attribute must include only atomic (simple, indivisible) values.
20. what is a database?
a dbms is a complex softwaresystem that is used to manage,store and manipulate
data and metadata used to describe the data.
21. what is a key?what are different keys in database?
a key is nothing but a attribute or group of attributes.they are used to perform
some specific operation depending on their operation.the keys are classified
into primary key,secondary key,alternative keysuper key,candidate key,compound
or concatinated or composite key.
22. what is a primary key?
primary key:an attribute to identify a record uniquely is considered to be
primary key.for eg in the student table student_no is the primary key because it
can be used to identify unique record or unique student.

23. what is a candidate key?

register no usually alloted in the exams is also unique for each student in that
case for identifying a student uniquely either student_no or register_no can be
used.here two different candidates are contesting for primary key post.any of
them can be selected as primary key.
24. what is an alternate key?
if any one of the candidate keys among the different candidate keys available is
selected as primary key then remaining keys are called alternate key.
25. what is a super key?
with primary key if any other attribute is added then that combination is called
super key in other words,primary key is the minimum possible super key.in the
student table student_no+student_name is one the super key.
26. what is a composite key?

29. What is E-R model?

30. What is Data Model?
A collection of conceptual tools for describing data, data relationships data semantics and
constraints.
31. What is RDBMS?
Relational Data Base Management Systems (RDBMS) are database management systems that
maintain data records and indices in tables. Relationships may be created and maintained across
and among the data and tables. In a relational database, relationships between data items are
expressed by means of tables. Interdependencies among these tables are expressed by data values
rather than by pointers.
This allows a high degree of data independence. An RDBMS has the capability to recombine the
data items from different files, providing powerful tools for data usage.
32. What is normalization?

Database normalization is a data design and organization process applied to data structures based
on rules that help build relational databases. In relational database design, the process of
organizing data to minimize redundancy. Normalization usually involves dividing a database into
two or more tables and defining relationships between the tables. The objective is to isolate data
so that additions, deletions, and modifications of a field can be made in just one table and then
propagated through the rest of the database via the defined relationships.
