 Chapter 10 Working with Multiple Tables

Q1. Give any two advantages of relating a table in a database.

Ans. Advantages:
The various advantages of relating tables in a database are as follows:
i. A relationship can help prevent data redundancy.
ii. It helps prevent missing data by keeping deleted data from getting out of synch. This is
called referential integrity.
iii. Creating relationships between tables restricts the user from entering invalid data in the
referenced fields.
iv. Any updation in the master table is automatically reflected in the transaction tables.

Q2. How is redundancy or inconsistency controlled in a database? Explain with an example.

Ans. Redundancy or inconsistency is controlled in a database by setting the relationship between tables
which help in checking that neither the records are duplicated nor there is variable data value for a
particular field in two or more tables. After creating relationship between table, then adding or updating a
record in one table reflect the changes in all the related tables.

For example - For example, instead of having "name" and "address" in separate columns within a table,
it's more efficient to define the relationship in a separate, related table. Defining the link between these
data points in every new entry would unnecessarily duplicate data across the table.

Q3. Define referential integrity. Who maintains referential integrity in a database?

Ans. Referential Integrity refers to the relationship between tables. It is used to maintain the accuracy and
consistency of data in relationship. LibreOffice Base will allow only that correspondence record to be
entered in the transaction table which already exists in master table.
DBMS maintains referential integrity in database.

Q4. Differentiate between one-to-one relationship and one-to-many relationship. Give suitable
examples to explain your answer.
Ans. One-to-One relationship-In this type of relationship, one specific record of a master table has one
and only one corresponding record in the transaction table.
One-to-many relationship- This type of relationship, one specific record of the master table has more
than one corresponding records in the related transaction table.

Q5. Explain many-to-many relationship with an example.

Ans. In many-to-many relationship, there will be multiple records in the master table that correspond to
multiple records in the transaction table as well.
For example- a teacher in a school may hold multiple responsibilities such as class teacher, activity
incharge. For each responsibility the teacher might be attached with multiple students.

Q2. What is occupational overuse syndrome?

Ans. Occupational overuse syndrome, also known as repetition strain injury (RSI), is a collective
term for a range of conditions, characterised by discomfort or persistent pain in muscles, tendons

by work, and is associated with repetitive movement, sustained or constrained postures and/or
forceful movements. Psycho-social factors, including stress in the working environment, may be
important in the development of occupational overuse syndrome.

Q3. What are musculoskeletal problems?

the screen into the distance for a few moments to relax your eyes; focus on something 30 metres
away for 30 seconds every 30 minutes.
• Keep your monitor between 18 to 24 inches away from your face. Lastly, position monitors to
avoid glare from sunlight and keep them clean.

Q7. What type of display screen is suitable to work on computer?

Ans. Use the modern LED monitors of legible size and with adequate spacing between the
characters and lines. The image on the screen should be stable, with no flickering or other forms of
instability. The screen must be free of reflective glare and reflections liable to cause discomfort to
the user

Q8. What type of keyboard is suitable to work on computer?

Ans. The keyboard should tilt and separate from the screen to find a comfortable working position
and avoid fatigue in the arms or hands. The space in front of the keyboard must be sufficient to
provide support for the hands and arms of the user. The keyboard should have a matt surface to
avoid reflective glare. The symbols on the keys must be adequately contrasted and legible from the
design working position.
