Q1. Advantages and disadvantages of DBMS?


Sol: Advantages of DBMS

Redundancy Problem Can Be Solved


DBMS prevents duplicate data by keeping
everything in one place. No wastage or confusion.
Simple and organized.
Has a Very High-Security Level
It protects your important data from unauthorized
access. Additionally, authorized users can access
the database with the help of credentials.
Presence of Data Integrity
Data integrity will unite many files into a single
file. DDMS offers data integrity and further, this
can reduce data duplicity, Data integration, reduce
redundancy as well as data inconsistency.
Support Multiple Users
DDMS has a special feature that is, it will enable
multiple users to access same database without any
interpretation.
Avoidance of inconsistency
DBMS controls redundancy and ensures data
consistency. Data is stored in a single database,
easy updates, and no need to update all files. More
consistent than file systems.
Shared Data
In DBMS, authorized users can share data. Each
user has specific access rights. The Admin has full
control and can assign user permissions.
Following Rules and Guidelines
DBMS central control allows the DBA to enforce
data standards, formats, and security. This ensures
consistency and simplifies data migrations and
interchanges
Any Unauthorized Access is Restricted
Unauthorized users are restricted to access the
database due to the security credentials.
Ensure Backup of Data
DBMS automatically backs up data and ensures
easy recovery, solving the problem of data loss
without wasting time and resources.
Tunability
DBMS tuning means making adjustments for
better performance. The DBA optimizes the
database settings to achieve effective results.
Disadvantages of DBMS
Size
The extensive functionality of the DBMS demands
a significant amount of disk space, occupying
megabytes of storage.
Performance
It won’t run as fast as desired.
Higher Impact of Failure
Centralizing resources in a DBMS makes the
system more vulnerable. All users and applications
depend on its availability, and any failure can
bring operations to a halt.
Cost of DDMS

The pricing of a DBMS can differ significantly,


depending on factors like the environment and the
range of functionalities it provides. Moreover,
there is an annual maintenance cost that needs to
be considered.

Q2.what is DBMS and its needs?


Sol: A database management system (DBMS) is a
computer program designed to manage a large
amount of structured data, and run operations on
the desired data requested by the users.
A DBMS ensures data consistency by enforcing
rules and constraints on the data. For example, it
can prevent duplicate entries, ensure each record
has a unique identifier, and enforce referential
integrity to ensure that related data is consistent.

Q3.
Q4.Define the follwing?
Sol: *Degree - The number of attributes or columns in a relation
is called the Degree of the relation.

*Cardinality - The number of tuples/ rows in a relation is called the


Cardinality of the relation.

* A tuple, also known as a record or row, is a basic unit of data in a


relational database management system (DBMS).

* Domain is a set of values from which an attribute can take value in


each row.

* attributes represent the characteristics or properties of entities or


objects stored in the database. Attributes define the type of data
that can be stored in a particular field/column of a table.
