CHAPTER 8-INTRODUCTION TO DBMS
Page no. 156 DDEOP
D. Answer the following questions .
1. Define:
o Database: A collection of related data organized in a structured manner to
allow easy retrieval, manipulation, and management.
o Data redundancy: The duplication of data across multiple locations or
systems, leading to unnecessary repetition and increased storage usage.
o Report: A formatted and organized presentation of data, often generated by a
database, summarizing specific information or results based on queries.
2. One point of Difference between:
o Data vs. Information:
Data: Raw facts and figures that by themselves have no meaning.
Information: Processed data that is meaningful and useful for
decision-making.
o Form vs. Query:
Form: A user interface element that allows data entry and display.
Query: A request to retrieve specific data from a database based on
certain conditions.
o Network model vs. Hierarchical model:
Network model: Allows many-to-many relationships where records
can have multiple parent and child records.
Hierarchical model: Data is organized in a tree structure where each
child record has only one parent record, forming a one-to-many
relationship.
3. Four advantages of a DBMS (Database Management System):
o Reduced data redundancy: Eliminates duplication of data.
o Improved data integrity: Ensures accuracy and consistency of data.
o Enhanced data security: Restricts unauthorized access to data.
o Data abstraction: Hides the complexity of data storage from users.
4. Table Library analysis:
Book Id Book Name Author Name Price Publishing
F001 pride and pejudice Jane austen 550 ABC
S004 Amazing Astronomy E.shane 1050 ABC
C005 IT and Mankind MHA Diwaan 2500 HYM
o a) Fields in the given table: Book Id, Book Name, Author Name, Price,
Publishing.
o b) Primary key: The field that should be made the primary key is Book Id, as
it uniquely identifies each record.
o c) Alternate key: An alternate key could be the Book Name, as it can also be
used to uniquely identify records, but there could be duplicates in certain
cases, so it is not as reliable as a primary key.
o d) Difference between primary key and foreign key:
Primary key: A field or set of fields that uniquely identifies each
record in a table (e.g., Book Id in this table).
Foreign key: A field in one table that links to the primary key in
another table to establish a relationship between the two tables. For
example, if another table "AuthorDetails" had the field "AuthorId" as
the primary key, the Author Name field in this table could be a
foreign key if it links to that "AuthorId" in the "AuthorDetails" table.
