C. Answer the following (0.5*76)

1. What is a database?
Ans:DATABASE IS A COLLECTION OF DATA, WHICH IS STORED IN A SYSTEMATIC MANNER, I.E., IN THE
FORM OF TABLES SO THAT ONE CAN RETRIEVE AND MANIPULATE THE INFORMATION QUICKLY AND
EFFICIENTLY FROM A LARGE SET OF DATA.
2. Distinguish between DBMS and RDBMS.
Ans:THE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBMS) IS A COMPUTERISED RECORD KEEPING SYSTEM
OR A SOFTWARE THAT ENABLES YOU TO CREATE, STORE, MODIFY, AND EXTRACT INFORMATION
FROM A DATABASE. THE RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RDBMS) IS A TYPE OF THE
DBMS SOFTWARE THAT USES THE RELATIONAL DATABASE (RDB) MODEL FOR ITS DATABASE. A
RELATIONAL MODEL ENABLES THE USERS TO STORE DATA IN SEVERAL TABLES.
3. What are tuples and attributes?
Ans:TUPLES: ALL THE ROWS (CONSISTS OF A SET OF RELATED INFORMATION THAT BELONGS TO A
PARTICULAR OBJECT) IN A TABLE/DATABASE ARE CALLED TUPLES OR RECORDS.NATTRIBUTES: AN
ATTRIBUTE IS A PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT AN OBJECT. ALL THE COLUMNS IN A
TABLE/DATABASE ARE CALLED ATTRIBUTES.
4. Differentiate between a primary and foreign key.
Ans:A PRIMARY KEY IS A SET OF ONE OF MORE FIELDS THAT UNIQUELY IDENTIFIES EACH RECORD IN
A TABLE. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY DUPLICATE DATA. A TABLE CAN HAVE ONLY ONE PRIMARY KEY.
THE VALUE IN THE PRIMARY KEY FIELD IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY TUPLE AND THUS HELPS IN
UNIQUELY IDENTIFYING THE RECORDS. A FOREIGN KEY IS A FIELD OR SET OF FIELDS THAT IS USED TO
ESTABLISH A RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO TABLES. IN OTHER WORDS, IT CONSISTS OF ONE OR
MORE FIELDS WHOSE VALUE MATCHES WITH A PRIMARY KEY IN ANOTHER TABLE. BASICALLY, A
FOREIGN KEY IN ONE TABLE IS USED TO POINT AT A PRIMARY KEY IN ANOTHER TABLE. IT ACTS AS A
CROSS-REFERENCE BETWEEN THE TABLES.
5. What is a composite key? Give an example.
Ans:A COMPOSITE KEY OR COMPOSITE PRIMARY KEY REFERS TO A COMBINATION OF TWO OR MORE
ATTRIBUTES (FIELDS) THAT UNIQUELY IDENTIFY THE RECORDS IN A TABLE. IT MAY BE A CANDIDATE
KEY OR PRIMARY KEY. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE CUSTOMER TABLE OF DOMINOS DATABASE, THE
CUSTORDER_ID FIELD ALONE CANNOT BECOME A PRIMARY KEY AS MANY PRODUCTS CAN BE
PURCHASED BY THE SAME CUSTOMER, THUS THE SAME CUSTOMER CAN HAVE MULTIPLE ENTRIES.
SIMILARLY, COLUMN PRODUCT_ID ALONE CANNOT BECOME A PRIMARY KEY AS THE SAME PRODUCT
CAN BE PURCHASED BY DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS. HENCE, COMPOSITE KEY IS CUSTORDER_ID AND
PRODUCT_ID, AS RECORDS CAN BE RETRIEVED UNIQUELY BY USING BOTH THE FIELDS.
6. Describe the different database objects.
Ans:FOLLOWING ARE THE DIFFERENT DATABASE OBJECTS:N?? TABLES STORE DATA ITEMS IN THE
FORM OF ROWS AND COLUMNS.N?? QUERIES ARE USED TO RETRIEVE A SPECIFIC DATA FROM THE
TABLES OF A DATABASE.N?? FORMS ARE THE USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACES THAT FACILITATE THE
PROCESS OF INSERTING, EDITING, DELETING, AND UPDATING THE DATA IN TABLES AND QUERIES.N??
REPORTS ARE USED TO DISPLAY THE SELECTED DATA IN A PRINTABLE FORMAT.
7. What are data types?
Ans:DATA TYPES DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF DATA YOU CAN ENTER INTO A FIELD.
8. Explain the use of Text [VARCHAR] data type.
Ans:TEXT [VARCHAR] DATA TYPE A VARIABLE LENGTH FIELD TYPE, WHICH IS USED TO STORE
CHARACTER OR STRING VALUES.
9. Distinguish between the Table Data and Table Design views.
Ans:THE TABLE DATA VIEW IS THE DEFAULT VIEW OF LIBREOFFICE BASE. IN THIS VIEW, YOU CAN
ENTER AND NAVIGATE THE RECORDS. IN TABLE DESIGN VIEW, YOU CAN CREATE A TABLE BY
DEFINING THE FIELD NAMES AND FIELD TYPES. THIS VIEW ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO EDIT THE
STRUCTURE OF THE CREATED TABLES.
10. How do you edit a table structure?
Ans:TO EDIT A TABLE STRUCTURE,N?? SELECT THE TABLE IN A DATABASE, RIGHT-CLICK ON IT, AND
SELECT THE EDIT OPTION.N?? THE SELECTED TABLE WILL BE OPENED IN THE DESIGN VIEW.N??
CHANGE THE FIELD NAME, FIELD TYPE OR PROPERTIES OF THE FIELD AS PER YOUR
REQUIREMENT.N?? AFTER MAKING THE REQUIRED CHANGES, CLICK ON THE SAVE BUTTON.
11. What is the use of tables in a database?
Ans:TABLES ARE THE EASIEST WAY TO STORE, ORGANISE, AND PRESENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF
INFORMATION. THEY ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A DATABASE.
12. How can you sort records of a table in descending order?
Ans:TO SORT THE RECORDS OF A TABLE IN DESCENDING ORDER, FIRST SELECT A FIELD ACCORDING
TO WHICH YOU WANT TO SORT THE DATA. CLICK ON THE SORT IN DESCENDING ORDER BUTTON ON
THE TABLE DATA TOOLBAR. DATA WILL BE SORTED ON THE BASIS OF THE SELECTED FIELD.
13. Describe Referential Integrity.
Ans:REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY (RI) IS A RULE IN RDBMS. IT STATES THAT A FOREIGN KEY MUST HAVE A
MATCHING PRIMARY KEY, I.E., ALL ITS REFERENCES MUST BE VALID AND THE USERS CANNOT
ACCIDENTALLY DELETE OR AMEND THE DATA. IT ENSURES THE ACCURACY AND CONSISTENCY OF
THE DATA WITHIN A RELATIONSHIP, AND PREVENTS THE USERS TO ENTER THE INCONSISTENT DATA.
14. List the different types of relationships.
Ans:FOLLOWING ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RELATIONSHIPS:N?? ONE-TO-ONEN?? ONE-TO-MANYN??
MANY-TO-MANY
15. Give an example of many-to-many relationship.
Ans:STUDENTS AND COURSES TABLES ARE BEST EXAMPLE OF A MANY-TO MANY RELATIONSHIP. A
STUDENT CAN REGISTER FOR MANY COURSES, AND A SAME COURSE CAN BE OPTED BY MANY
STUDENTS.
16. What is a Query?
Ans:A QUERY IS A DATABASE OBJECT THAT ENABLES YOU TO RETRIEVE RECORDS FROM ONE OR
MORE TABLES OF THE DATABASE OR DIFFERENT DATABASES THAT MEET A SPECIFIC CONDITION OR
CRITERIA.
17. List the different Query Views of OpenOffice Base.
Ans:FOLLOWING ARE THE TWO QUERIES VIEWS:N?? QUERY DESIGN VIEWN?? THE SQL VIEW
18. What is the difference between Query Wizard and Query Design View?
Ans:THE QUERY WIZARD GUIDES YOU TO CREATE A QUERY BASED ON SELECTED TABLE. IT IS THE
EASIEST METHOD FOR BEGINNERS. THE QUERY DESIGN VIEW GIVES YOU MORE CONTROL OVER A
QUERY. IT ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE A QUERY FROM THE SCRATCH.
19. What is SQL?
Ans:SQL IS A LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE QUERIES TO DEFINE THE DATA STRUCTURE
AND MANIPULATE THE DATA IN THE DATABASE. A USER CAN CREATE AND MANIPULATE (INSERT NEW
DATA, DELETE DATA, SELECT AND UPDATE DATA) THE DATABASE ANYTIME BY USING THE
STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL) COMMANDS.
20. Distinguish between the DDL and DML commands.
Ans:DDL COMMANDS ARE USED TO DEFINE AND MODIFY THE STRUCTURE OF A DATABASE WHEREAS
DML COMMANDS ALLOW THE USERS TO MANIPULATE DATA IN THE DATABASE.
21. What is a form?
Ans:A FORM HOLDS DIFFERENT FIELDS OF A TABLE THAT YOU USE TO ENTER AND MODIFY THE DATA
IN THE DATABASE. USING FORM, YOU CAN ADD OR EDIT ONE RECORD AT A TIME. IT IS A CONVENIENT
AND AN INTERACTIVE WAY OF ENTERING DATA, BUT NOT AN APPROPRIATE TOOL FOR EVERY DATA
ENTRY.
22. How can you launch a Form Wizard?
Ans:TO LAUNCH THE FORM WIZARD, CLICK ON THE FORMS OPTION IN THE DATABASE OBJECTS PANE.
THEN, SELECT THE USE WIZARD TO CREATE FORM OPTION IN THE TASKS PANE. THE FORM WIZARD
WILL OPEN.
23. Can you change the name of a label? If yes, how?
Ans:YES. TO CHANGE THE NAME OF LABELS, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:N?? RIGHT-CLICK ON THE
CREATED FORM AND SELECT EDIT. YOU WILL SWITCH TO THE DESIGN MODE OF THE FORM.N??
CHOOSE A LABEL THAT YOU WISH TO MODIFY AND DOUBLE-CLICK ON IT.N?? THE PROPERTIES: LABEL
FIELD DIALOG BOX OPENS. HERE, ENTER A NEW NAME IN THE NAME PROPERTY. CHANGES WILL
APPLY IMMEDIATELY.
24. What is the use of a report in Base?
Ans:A REPORT IS A SUMMARY OF YOUR DATABASE. IT IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO ORGANISE AND
SUMMARISE THE DATA FOR VIEWING AND PRINTING. IT CONSISTS OF INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM
TABLES OR QUERIES, AND PRESENTED AS PER THE USER'S REQUIREMENTS.
25. Distinguish between a static report and dynamic report.
Ans:A STATIC REPORT ALWAYS DISPLAYS THE SAME DATA FROM THE TIME WHEN THE STATIC
REPORT WAS CREATED. A DYNAMIC REPORT GENERATES THE RESULT OF THE REPORT FROM THE
CURRENT TABLE DATA. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU HAVE SOME UPDATED DATA IN THE TABLE THAT
FEEDS THE REPORT, THEN THE REPORT WILL CHANGE ACCORDINGLY.
26. Arnav has designed a Product table that contains the fields: [Product_ID, Product_Name, Descrpition, Price].
How can he ensure that each row of the table is uniquely identified?
Ans:HE CAN DEFINE THE PRODUCT_ID FIELD AS THE PRIMARY KEY FIELD. FOR THIS, RIGHT-CLICK ON
THE TABLE AND SELECT EDIT. THE TABLE WILL OPEN IN THE DESIGN VIEW. BRING THE POINTER ON
THE FIELD THAT IS TO BE ASSIGNED AS THE PRIMARY KEY FIELD. RIGHT-CLICK ON THE FIELD AND
SELECT PRIMARY KEY.
27. Manisha wants to create a table in an existing database of Base. What is the easiest way to do it?
Ans:THE TABLE WIZARD IS THE EASIEST WAY FOR CREATING A TABLE IN THE OPENOFFICE BASE. IT IS
DESIGNED TO START WITH A BASIC STRUCTURE OF A TABLE. LATER, WE CAN MODIFY THE
STRUCTURE AS PER YOUR REQUIREMENT.

WEAKENED OR DISTORTED OVER A LONG DISTANCE.NTHIS HAPPENS IF THE NETWORK PASSES
THROUGH AN AREA HAVING STRONG ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS. THE WEAKENED OR DISTORTED
SIGNALS ARE REGENERATED AND THEN RETRANSMITTED BY THE REPEATER.NROUTERNA ROUTER IS
A NETWORKING DEVICE, WHICH ROUTES THE INFORMATION AROUND THE NETWORK.NIT IS ALSO USED
TO CONNECT ONE NETWORK WITH THE NETWORKS.NTHE HEADER OF EVERY PACKET OF THE
INFORMATION ARRIVING AT A ROUTER IS CHECKED FOR THE DESTINATION AND USING THE BEST
ROUTE, THE MESSAGE IS FORWARDED TO THE NEXT DEVICE.
48. Explain data transfer in packet switching.
Ans:DATA IN THE INTERNET REFERS TO ALL THE FILES, E-MAILS, WEB PAGES, ETC. THAT YOU CAN SEE
ACROSS THE INTERNET. DATA TRAVELS ACROSS THE INTERNET IN PACKETS. THE INFORMATION IN
THE PACKET ENABLES A COMPUTER TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT ASSIMILATES WITH ANY OTHER DATA,
THE ORIGIN OR SOURCE OF THE DATA, AND THE DATA'S FINAL DESTINATION. THIS TECHNIQUE IS
CALLED PACKET SWITCHING AND WIDELY USED FOR OPTIMISING DATA TRANSFER OVER A COMPUTER
NETWORK.NLET US UNDERSTAND THIS TECHNIQUE OF DATA TRANSMISSION.N?? WHEN YOU SEND A
MESSAGE OR AN E-MAIL TO ANOTHER COMPUTER CONNECTED ON THE INTERNET, THE DATA IN THE
MESSAGE OR E-MAIL IS FIRST BROKEN DOWN INTO SMALL DATA PACKETS. ONCE THE PACKETS ARE
READY, THE ADDRESS OF THE SENDING AND RECEIVING COMPUTER IS ENCLOSED WITH THE DATA
PACKETS.N?? WHEN THE DATA PACKETS ARE RECEIVED BY A COMPUTER THE DATA PACKETS ARE
AGAIN REASSEMBLED IN A WAY THAT THEY TAKE THE FORM OF THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE. THE DATA
PACKETS REACH THEIR DESTINATION USING DIFFERENT ROUTES. THE PROCESS IS
49. Name the different types of internet connections. Explain any two.

CONNECTION: THIS TYPE OF CONNECTION UTILISES THE TELEPHONE LINES BUT IS NOT PREFERRED
THESE DAYS AS IT IS VERY SLOW. IT ALLOWS THE USER TO DO ONE WORK AT A TIME. ONE CAN
EITHER USE THE PHONE TO CALL OR CONNECT TO THE INTERNET.N?? DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE
(DSL): IT IS ALSO A TYPE OF CONNECTION THAT USES THE TELEPHONE LINES, BUT IS CAPABLE OF
TRANSFERRING DATA AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED. A DSL FILTER REMOVES THE HIGH-FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE, THUS ENABLING SIMULTANEOUS USE OF THE TELEPHONE AND DATA TRANSMISSION.

D. Answer The Following (0.5*49)

D. Answer The Following (0.5*49)

1. Describe the database. Give any two real life examples of it.

Ans: A DATABASE IS A COLLECTION OF DATA THAT IS STORED IN A SYSTEMATIC MANNER, SO THAT

ONE CAN RETRIEVE ANDNMANIPULATE THE INFORMATION QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY. FOR
EXAMPLE, THE DATABASE OF INDIAN RAILWAYS PROVIDESNTHE INFORMATION OF ARRIVAL AND
DEPARTURE OF TRAINS ON DIFFERENT STATIONS, SEAT RESERVATION, AND SO ON.NSIMILARLY,
THE DATABASE OF MTNL DIRECTORY PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGISTERED USERS OF
MTNL.
2. What are records and fields?

Ans: A RECORD IS A SET OF RELATED INFORMATION THAT BELONGS TO A PARTICULAR INSTANCE

OF AN OBJECT.N A FIELD IS A SPECIFIC PROPERTY OF A RECORD.
3. Who uses database?

Ans: A DATABASE IS BASICALLY USED BY THE DEVELOPERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND END

USERS.NDEVELOPERS USE A DATABASE AS THEY DESIGN AND DEVELOP IT.N ADMINISTRATORS
KEEP A TRACK ON THE DATABASE AND CHECK AUTHORISATION TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE
USERS.N END USERS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY USE THE DATABASE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN A
SCHOOL DATABASE, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ARE THE END USERS AS THEY USE THE
DATABASE EVERYDAY.
4. What is DBMS?

Ans: DBMS STANDS FOR DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. IT IS A COMPUTERISED RECORD

KEEPING SYSTEM OR SOFTWARENTHAT ENABLES YOU TO CREATE, STORE, MODIFY, AND EXTRACT
INFORMATION FROM THE DATABASE. THE MAIN FUNCTIONNOF THE DBMS IS TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT
AND RELIABLE METHODS TO THE USERS FOR DATA RETRIEVAL. IN ADDITION, IT SAVESNYOUR TIME,
EFFORTS, AND REDUCES THE CHANCES OF ERRORS CREEPING INTO THE DATABASE TO A GREAT
EXTENT.
5. What is data redundancy?

Ans: DATA REDUNDANCY OCCURS WHEN THE SAME PIECE OF DATA IS DUPLICATED IN MULTIPLE
PLACES IN A DATABASE. SOMETIMES, DATA REDUNDANCY HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT WHILE AT
OTHER TIMES, IT IS INTENTIONAL.
6. How database reduces redundancy?

Ans: IN THE DATABASE APPROACH, IDEALLY, ALL THE INFORMATION IS KEPT AT ONLY ONE PLACE
AND SHARED AMONG THE USERS. THERE IS NO NEED TO REPEAT THE SAME DATA OVER AND OVER
AGAIN. THIS CAPABILITY MINIMISES DATA DUPLICATION AND REDUNDANCY. HOWEVER, IN SOME
CASES, DATA REDUNDANCY STILL EXISTS TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM??S PERFORMANCE, BUT SUCH
REDUNDANCY IS CONTROLLED BY THE DBMS BY KEEPING IT TO A MINIMUM.
7. Describe data inconsistency.

Ans: DATA INCONSISTENCY OCCURS WHEN THE SAME DATA EXISTS IN DIFFERENT FORMATS IN
MULTIPLE TABLES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN HOSPITAL DATABASE, IF YOU CHANGE THE ADDRESS OF A
PATIENT IN A TABLE AND DO NOT UPDATE THE SAME ADDRESS IN THE OTHER RELATED TABLES,
THEN IT AFFECTS MANY OTHER RELATED TABLES OF THAT PATIENT. AS, ONLY ONE TABLE WILL
HAVE THE CORRECT DATA WHILE ALL THE OTHERS WILL HAVE THE INCORRECT DATA. THIS IS
CALLED DATA INCONSISTENCY.
8. What is RDBMS?

Ans: RDBMS STANDS FOR RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. IT PROVIDES THE
FEATURES TO CREATE, UPDATE, AND ADMINISTER A RELATIONAL DATABASE. THIS MAKES IT EASY
TO SEARCH AND RETRIEVE DATA WITHIN THE DATABASE AND ENSURES THAT DATA INTEGRITY IS
MAINTAINED. THE RELATIONAL STRUCTURE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO RUN QUERIES ACROSS
MULTIPLE TABLES AT ONCE. SOME EXAMPLES OF RDBMS ARE ORACLE, LIBREOFFICE BASE,
OPENOFFICE BASE, MS ACCESS, SYBASE, AND MYSQL.
9. Write at least four features of a database.

Ans: SOME OF THE FEATURES OF A DATABASE ARE:NA DATABASE CAN HAVE ONE OR MORE
TABLES.NEACH TABLE IN A DATABASE CONTAINS DATA ABOUT A PARTICULAR TYPE OF OBJECT.
AS A RESULT, A DATABASE PROVIDES A CONTAINER FOR TABLES AND OTHER OBJECTS, AS WELL
AS A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HOW THEY MIGHT BE USED.NFOR EVERY TABLE, RECORD
UNIQUENESS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE. IT HELPS TO AVOID RECORD DUPLICATION CAUSED BY
USER OR COMPUTER ERRORS.NONE OR MORE FIELDS SHOULD BE DESIGNATED AS KEYS IN EVERY
DATABASE TABLE.

10. What are the rules for defining a primary key?

Ans: FOLLOWING ARE THE RULES FOR DEFINING A PRIMARY KEY:N A PRIMARY KEY FIELD SHOULD
BE UNIQUE.N IT CANNOT BE NULL.N THE VALUE IN A PRIMARY KEY FIELD CAN NEVER BE MODIFIED
OR UPDATED IF ANY FOREIGN KEY REFERS TO THAT PRIMARY KEY.
11. What is OpenOffice Base?

Ans: OPENOFFICE BASE IS A POPULAR RDBMS THAT SERVES AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE
OPENOFFICE SUITE. IT IS USED TO ORGANISE AND MANIPULATE DATA IN THE FORM OF TABLES. IT
ALSO PROVIDES THE FACILITY TO CREATE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TABLES BY USING COMMON
FIELDS THAT PREVENT THE DUPLICATION OF DATA. ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE OF BASE IS
THAT WE CAN FIND AND RETRIEVE DATA IN A DESIRED WAY BY USING QUERIES. ALSO, WE CAN
ADD, UPDATE, AND DELETE THE DATA BY USING QUERIES AND FORMS, AND PRINT DATA IN A
SPECIFIC LAYOUT BY USING REPORTS.
12. List the different database objects.

Ans: TABLES, QUERIES, FORMS, AND REPORTS ARE THE DIFFERENT DATABASE OBJECTS THAT
ARE USED TO CREATE, EDIT, ANDNMANIPULATE DATA IN A DATABASE.
13. What are field types?

Ans: EACH TABLE CONSISTS OF FIELDS AND EVERY FIELD HAS A SPECIFIC DATA TYPE, ALSO
KNOWN AS FIELD TYPE. A FIELD OR DATA TYPE DETERMINES WHAT TYPE OF DATA WE CAN ENTER
INTO A FIELD. FOR EXAMPLE, A FIELD WHOSE DATA TYPE IS ??NUMBER?? CAN ONLY STORE
NUMERIC DATA AND DOES NOT ALLOW US TO ENTER TEXT DATA INTO IT.
14. How can you create a table in OpenOffice Base using the Table Wizard?

Ans: TO CREATE A TABLE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:N OPEN THE DATABASE IN WHICH A TABLE IS TO
BE CREATED.N CLICK ON THE USE WIZARD TO CREATE TABLE OPTION IN THE DATABASE TASKS
PANE.N THE TABLE WIZARD OPENS. CHOOSE A CATEGORY AND THEN A TABLE.NSELECT THE
REQUIRED FIELDS FOR TABLE AND CLICK ON NEXT.N SPECIFY A FIELD TYPE FOR EVERY FIELD AND
CLICK ON NEXT.N SELECT THE CREATE A PRIMARY KEY OPTION TO SET A PRIMARY KEY AND
CHOOSE USE AN EXISTING FIELD AS A PRIMARYNKEY OPTION AND THEN CHOOSE A FIELD NAME.
CLICK ON NEXT.N SPECIFY A RELEVANT NAME FOR THE TABLE AND CLICK ON FINISH. A TABLE
GETS CREATED IMMEDIATELY AND OPENS IN THE TABLE DATA VIEW.
15. Describe the use of Table Data and Table Design views in Base.

Ans: TABLE DATA VIEW: IN THIS VIEW, WE CAN ENTER, EDIT, AND NAVIGATE THE RECORDS.NTABLE
DESIGN VIEW: IN THIS VIEW, WE CAN CREATE A TABLE BY DEFINING FIELD NAMES AND FIELD
TYPES. THIS VIEW CANNALSO BE USED TO EDIT THE STRUCTURE OF THE CREATED TABLES.
16. What is Referential Integrity?

Ans: REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY (RI) STATES THAT A FOREIGN KEY MUST HAVE A MATCHING
PRIMARY KEY, I.E., ALL ITS REFERENCES MUST BE VALID AND THE USERS CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY
DELETE OR AMEND DATA. IT ENSURES THE ACCURACY AND CONSISTENCY OF DATA WITHIN A
RELATIONSHIP AND PREVENTS THE USERS FROM ENTERING THE INCONSISTENT DATA.
17. Distinguish between one-to-one and one-to-many relationships
 Ans: IN ONE-TO-ONE RELATIONSHIP, A RECORD IN A TABLE CAN HAVE ONLY ONE MATCHING
RECORD IN ANOTHER TABLE, AND VICE VERSA. IN ONE-TO-MANY RELATIONSHIP, A RECORD OF
TABLE A IS ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERAL MATCHING RECORDS OF TABLE B, BUT A RECORD OF
TABLE B IS ASSOCIATED WITH ONLY ONE RECORD OF TABLE A.
18. What is a query? Where is the result of the query stored in OpenOffice Base?

Ans: A QUERY IS USED TO RETRIEVE RECORDS FROM ONE OR MORE TABLES OF THE DATABASE
THAT MEET A SPECIFIC CONDITION OR CRITERIA. THE INFORMATION RETRIEVED THROUGH A
QUERY IS STORED IN A SEPARATE TABLE, CALLED THE QUERY TABLE.
19. Differentiate between DDL and DML commands.

Ans: DDL COMMANDS ARE THE DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE COMMANDS. THESE COMMANDS ARE
USED TO DEFINE ANDNMODIFY THE STRUCTURE OF A DATABASE. THE COMMANDS THAT FALL
UNDER THIS CATEGORY ARE CREATE, ALTER, DROP, ETC. DML OR DATA MANIPULATION
LANGUAGE COMMANDS ALLOW THE USERS TO MANIPULATE DATA IN THE DATABASE. THEY HELP
IN RETRIEVAL, INSERTION, DELETION, AND MODIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION PRESENT IN THE
DATABASE. SOME OF THE COMMONLY USED DML COMMANDS ARE SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, ETC.
20. Which property allows you to define multiple criteria in the Query Design View?

Ans: MULTIPLE CRITERIA CAN BE APPLIED IN QUERY USING THE CRITERION PROPERTY IN THE
DESIGN GRID OF THE QUERY DESIGN VIEW.
21. How do you run a query in the Query Design View?

Ans: TO RUN A QUERY IN THE QUERY DESIGN VIEW, CLICK ON THE RUN QUERY BUTTON, OR PRESS
THE F5 KEY.
22. Define the following terms: a. Relationship (with respect to DBMS) b. Query c. Record and Field

Ans: A. RELATIONSHIP: A RELATIONSHIP IS A LINK THAT ASSOCIATES A FIELD IN ONE TABLE WITH
A FIELD IN ANOTHER TABLE. A RELATIONSHIP WORKS BY MATCHING A FIELD WITH THE SAME
NAME IN BOTH TABLES. IN MOST CASES, THESE MATCHING FIELDS ARE THE PRIMARY KEY IN ONE
TABLE AND FOREIGN KEY IN THE OTHER TABLE.NB. QUERY: A QUERY IS A DATABASE OBJECT
THAT ENABLES YOU TO RETRIEVE RECORDS FROM ONE OR MORE TABLES OF THE DATABASE OR
DIFFERENT DATABASES THAT MEET A SPECIFIC CONDITION OR CRITERIA. IT ALLOWS YOU TO JOIN
AND FILTER DATA OR INFORMATION FROM DIFFERENT TABLES.NC. RECORD: A RECORD IS A SET
OF RELATED INFORMATION THAT BELONGS TO A PARTICULAR OBJECT. GENERALLY, THE ROWS IN
A TABLE ARE REFERRED TO AS RECORDS.NFIELD: A FIELD DESCRIBES A SPECIFIC PROPERTY OF A
RECORD. THAT IS WHY A FIELD IS ALSO KNOWN AS AN ATTRIBUTE. A COLUMN IN A TABLE IS
KNOWN AS A FIELD.
23. What will be the output of the following SQL query? SELECT “Student_Fee”.”S_ID”, “Student_Info”.”City” FROM
“Student_Fee”, “Student_Info”, WHERE “Student_Info”.”City” LIKE ‘D%’

Ans: THE QUERY WILL DISPLAY THE S_ID FIELD FROM THE STUDENT_FEE TABLE, AND CITY FIELD
FROM THE STUDENT_INFO TABLE SHOWING THE RECORDS OF THE STUDENTS WHO BELONG TO A
CITY STARTING FROM THE LETTER ??D??, SUCH AS DELHI, DEHRADUN, DALHOUSIE, AND SO ON.
24. Which SQL command is used to create table in database? Give syntax.

Ans: THE CREATE TABLE COMMAND IS USED TO CREATE A NEW TABLE IN A

DATABASE.NSYNTAX:NCREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME (NCOLUMN_NAME1 DATA
TYPE,NCOLUMN_NAME2 DATA TYPE,NCOLUMN_NAME3 DATA TYPE,??);
25. What is the use of the SELECT command of SQL?

Ans: THE SELECT COMMAND IS USED TO RETRIEVE RECORDS. WE CAN RETRIEVE ZERO OR MORE
RECORDS FROM ONE OR MORENTABLES OF A DATABASE. IT IS THE MOST COMMONLY USED DML
COMMAND. THE FOLLOWING OPTIONAL CLAUSES CAN BENUSED WITH THE SELECT COMMAND.N
WHERE SPECIFIES WHICH ROWS TO BE RETRIEVED.N ORDER BY SPECIFIES AN ORDER IN WHICH
THE ROWS ARE TO BE RETRIEVED.
26. Describe the INSERT command of SQL. Write syntax.
 Ans: THE INSERT COMMAND IS USED TO ADD ONE OR MORE RECORDS TO A TABLE IN A
DATABASE.NSYNTAX:NINSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3,??)NVALUES
(VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3,??);NORNINSERT INTO TABLE_NAMENVALUES (VALUE1, VALUE2,
VALUE3,??);
27. How Entry required and Default value properties of a table field in a database are different from each other?

Ans: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENTRY REQUIRED AND DEFAULT VALUE PROPERTIES OF A TABLE:NIF
IN A TABLE, THE ENTRY REQUIRED PROPERTY IS SET TO YES, THEN THE FIELD MUST NOT BE
EMPTY.NON THE OTHER HAND, A DEFAULT VALUE CAN BE SET FOR A FIELD IN THE DEFAULT
VALUE PROPERTY FIELD, IF THE USER DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY VALUE WHILE ENTERING THE
VALUES IN THE TABLE.
28. Describe the use of forms. How do you create a form in Base?

Ans: FORMS ARE USED TO ENTER AND MODIFY THE DATA IN TABLES. USING FORMS, YOU CAN
ALSO SEARCH FOR RECORDS. A FORM CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME FROM A TABLE, YET A FORM
MANIPULATES THE SAME INFORMATION AND DATA TO THE CORRESPONDING TABLE. IF WE
CHANGE A RECORD IN A FORM, IT WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE TABLE ALSO. IN OPENOFFICE BASE,
A FORM CAN BE CREATED USING THE FORM WIZARD AND DESIGN MODE.

31. State the relationship and difference between the primary and foreign key.

Ans: A PRIMARY KEY IS A SET OF ONE OF MORE FIELDS THAT UNIQUELY IDENTIFIES EACH RECORD
IN A TABLE. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY DUPLICATE DATA. A TABLE CAN HAVE ONLY ONE PRIMARY
KEY. THE VALUE IN THE PRIMARY KEY FIELD IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY TUPLE AND THUS HELPS IN
UNIQUELY IDENTIFYING THE RECORDS.NA FOREIGN KEY IS A FIELD OR SET OF FIELDS THAT IS
USED TO ESTABLISH A RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO TABLES. IN OTHER WORDS, IT CONSISTS OF
ONE OR MORE FIELDS WHOSE VALUE MATCHES WITH A PRIMARY KEY IN ANOTHER TABLE.
BASICALLY, A FOREIGN KEY IN ONE TABLE IS USED TO POINT AT A PRIMARY KEY IN ANOTHER
TABLE. IT ACTS AS A CROSS-REFERENCE BETWEEN THE TABLES.

USEFUL TECHNOLOGY THAT PROVIDES DIFFERENT WAYS OF SHARING THE RESOURCES BETWEEN
THE END USERS. THE RESOURCES SUCH AS PRINTERS, FILE SERVERS, SCANNERS, AND INTERNET
CAN BE EASILY SHARED AMONG COMPUTERS.NON THE OTHER HAND, WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
IS A LARGEST TYPE OF NETWORK. IT SPANS ACROSS SEVERAL CITIES, COUNTRIES, OR EVEN THE
WHOLE WORLD. SINCE THEY USE HIGH SPEED TECHNOLOGY, SO WANS ARE EXPENSIVE
NETWORKS. WANS ARE USED BY MULTINATIONAL ORGANISATIONS, AIRLINES, GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES, ETC. THEY USE ROUTERS TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK. THE DEVICES USED FOR
TRANSMISSION ARE FIBER OPTIC CABLES, MICROWAVES, AND SATELLITES.
