roughiy. how many rows might be in the table? How much dísk space (in MB) would be nceded ot

*Estimate the usor population, both in terms of size and compoition. *Give two queries in Englisn
that tho appl1cation might execute on the database in the process of interacting with the user.
*How often would this database be queried? Be updated? (Very roughly)
*Briefly list any specific privacy,securily, and/or reliability issues that might be of concrn wmih this
database.
* How would this application be diflerent if database technology (both software, in the availab1liy of
DBMS's, and hardware, in the availability of cheap disk storage) was not presont?
Please do not use any of the example industries (e.g., banks, university etc.) discussed in book.
Exira credis could be earned for a description of a particular innovative application. Your essay
should be articulate,well-structured, and complete, ín that ít addresses all of the above-listed issues,
It should be neatly hand written. As mentioned in the class, allwork should be your OWn. Any copied
submission shall be rejected. Quote and provide a relerence for any prose that you got from
somewhere else (if any).

2. Explain why conceptual modelling is an important step in a process of database design.

3.What is data model? Why do we need a dala model?
4.What is data independence and how does DBMS support if?
5. What are the responsibilities of a DBA? If we assume that the DBA is never interested in running his
or her own queries, does the DBA still need to undersland query optimization? Why?

B. You are required to note down all the class assignments dictated in the class during the lectures
and complete them, You will be asked to submit along with the next assignment due.
