Question 1: Name three kind of basic binary operation on relational algebra
Answer:
  1. Union
  2. Set operation
  3. Cartesian product
  4. Unary Operations are Select and Project.
Question 2: Shortly describe Procedural DML and Non procedural DML also give the alternate names.
Answer:

Procedural Languages:

These are those languages in which what to do and how to do on the database is required. It means whatever operation is to be done on the database that has to be toldthat how to perform.

Non-Procedural Languages:

These are those languages in which only what to do is required, rest how to do is doneby the manipulation language itself. Structured query language (SQL) is the most widely language used for manipulation of data. But we will first study Relational Algebra and Relational Calculus, which areprocedural and non-procedural respectively.

Question 4: State the two conditions which are imposed on candidate key?
Answer:
There are two conditions for the candidate key
  1. It identifies the entity instances uniquely, as is required in case of super key.
  2. It should be minimum, that is, no proper subset of candidate key is a key.

Question 5: State the two major benefits of referential integrity constraints?
Answer:

Often, in relational database, we wish to ensure that a value that appears in one relation for a given set of attributes also appears for a certain set of attributes in another relation. This condition is called Referential integrity (RI). It is the concept of relationships between tables, based on the definition of a primary key and a foreign key.

The following summarize the benefits of referential integrity:

Ensure data integrity and consistency base on primary key and foreign key

Increases development productivity, because it is not necessary to code SQL statements to enforce referential constraints, the Teradata RDBMS automatically enforces referential integrity.

Question 8: What are the benefits of using default values
Answer:

Default values are the values which are associated with a specific attribute and can help us to reduce the chances of inserting incorrect values in the attribute space. And also it can help us preventing the attribute value be left empty.

Default value

  1. Reduces the chances of entering incorrect attribute value
  2. Prevents attribute value to be left empty.
  3. Saves our time by reducing the typing works.

Range Control

Range control implemented over the data can be very easily achieved by using any data type. As the data type enforces the entry of data in the field according to the limitations of the data type.

Null Value Control

As we already know that a null value is an empty value and is distinct from zero and spaces, Databases can implement the null value control by using the different data types or their build in mechanisms.

Referential Integrity means to keep the input values for a specific attribute in specific limits in comparison to any other attribute of the same or any other relation.

Question 9: What are the three important objectives for using data types while specifying attributes?
Answer:

4 major objectives for using data types when specifying attributes in a database are given as under:

  1. Minimized usage of storage space
  2. Represent all possible values
  3. Improve data integrity
  4. Support all data manipulation
Question 10: What do you know about Insertion anomaly?
Answer:
It is wrong state of database. It occurs when a new record is inserted in the relation. In this case the user cannot insert a fact about an entity until he has an additional fact about another entity.
