SUBJECT CODE & NAME- MI0034- DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Q1. Suppose the employee name, employee id, designation, salary, attendance and address of any employee has to be stored in a database. You can store these data in a sequential address book or it can be stored on a hard disk, using a computer and software like Microsoft Excel. Using this example define a database.  List and explain the various procedures carried on in a DBMS with a detailed example of the database.

(Defining a database- 1 mark, listing the 3 procedures – 3 marks, explanation- 3 marks, one examples for each of them - 3 marks)

Answer.

DBMS

A DBMS is a complex set of software programs that controls the organization, storage and retrieval of data in a database.

Procedures  

Q2. Level 2 cache has got higher latency than Level 1 by 2 times to 10 times in 512 KiB or more. Its value is nearer to kilobyte. This is one of the levels of memory hierarchy.  Define memory hierarchy. What are the other levels in memory hierarchy? Explain in one life each for each of them. (defining memory hierarchy- 1 mark,  listing the 6 levels -3 marks, explanation- 6 marks)  10 marks

Answer.

Memory hierarchy: It is used in the theory of computation when discussing performance issues in computer architectural design, algorithm predictions, and the lower level programming constructs such as involving locality of reference. A 'memory hierarchy' in computer storage distinguishes each level in the 'hierarchy' by response time. Since response time, comp

If we want to see all the employees with salary between 40000 and 50000, which query can be used? b. Select employee name from EMPLOYEE table, whose name starts with R c. Explain aggregate functions and grouping in detail a. Query based in BETWEEN OPERATOR b. Query based in LIKE condition

c. Explaining aggregate functions on select statement, with an example, showing the output of the query, explaining having clause, with example Solution.

Access provides many different types of queries to meet many different needs for data.
We'll briefly describe most of the query types, although in this course we'll focus on the most commonly used query type, the s

Q4. Consider a book is written by a particular author. And you have to explain to some one the relationship that exists between the author and the book. Normally you can draw a diagram and show the relation. These diagrams are called entity-relationship diagram in which book is one entity, author is one entity, and the relationship that exists between the two entities is written. Likewise explain the various notations used to represent the ER diagram. (Listing the notations with diagrams – 5 marks, explaining each one of them in one line with example each-5 marks )

Answer:

The symbols used to design an ER diagram are shown.

Q5. Consider any database of your choice (may be simple banking database/forecasting database/project management database). Show the deduction of the tables in your database to the different types of normal forms

(Choosing a proper database-2 marks, Explaining the 5 normal forms with respect to the database chosen-8 marks) 10 marks

Answer.

Normal forms Based on Primary Keys

A relation schema R is in first normal form if every attribute of R takes only single atomic values. We can also define it as intersection of each row and column containing one and only one value. To transform the un-normalized table (a table that contains one or mo

Q6. Read the following case study thoroughly and answer the following questions:

Laxmi bank is one of the largest private sector banks of India. It has an extensive network of more than 200 branches. It offers banking services to retail as well as corporate clients. The bank faced a challenge in integrating multi-pronged database management system into a centralized system. The IT department of the bank also realized that the computing capabilities of its PCs and servers were not proportionately distributed among all its branches. Each branch had its database management system stored in a traditional way on the disk. The total cost of operating and maintaining the current IT infrastructure was very high and the fundamental shortcomings added to the costs. Moreover, there were also recurrent problems due to the malfunctioning of the currently operational database management system. Therefore, the bank’s top management decided to fix the problem and operationalise a robust database management system. The bank hired an external database technology consulting firm called AKPY Info systems Limited.

AKPY divided the entire IT infrastructure of the bank around two verticals. The retail banking vertical and the corporate banking vertical. All the individual database servers from the individual branches were removed. The entire database system was made virtual such that the managers and the staff can access only the required information (related to retail banking or corporate banking) from the respective centralized data centers. There were only two such centralized data centers (one for retail banking and another for corporate banking) that were managed centrally. Staff and managers could access the information through their PCs and laptops. Centralized database management system complemented the security system by  bringing in authentication through a unified ID management server. Managers and officers of the bank were able to process half a million transactions per month in real time after the new implementation. There were significant savings in the cost and also in the consumption of power. Now there were no problems with regard to imbalances in the load across various network servers. Due to centralized data management, top management could keep an eye on the functioning of various branches. Hence the cases of fraud and cheating reduced considerably. The bank managers could also process the loan applications in reduced time since the customer’s previous records could be accessed at the click of the button and approval from the higher authorities could be obtained in real time. Moreover the new system also brought in many applications that helped local managers in the decision making process.

a. List the uses of centralized data management

b. What steps Laxmi bank need to take if it were to change its centralised database system to a distributed database system in future?

(a. Listing the uses from the from the case study-2 marks, b. Explaining about data fragmentation, replication and allocation techniques-6 marks, c. Is it possible to replicate the centralised database management model of the bank-2 marks) 10 marks

Answer.

a)      Uses of centralized data management

A centralized database is a database located and maintained in one location, unlike a distributed database. One main advantage is that all data is located in one place. A centralized data management system can be use as:

1.      The Two such centralized data centers (one for retail banking and another for corporate banking) that were managed centrally. Staff and managers could access the information through their PCs and laptop
