Submitted by : Sanjib Kumar Shil

International American University

MIS 560: Database Management Systems

Submitted to: Professor Prasanth Kalakota


Problems 22-24 are based on following query:

22.Ans: I would consider creating an index on V_STATE and another on V_AREACODE. It is


widely used for filtering or joining, and an index on this column can improve query performance.
The previously mentioned question concerns the qualities in its restrictive models. Additionally,
equity correlations are used in the contingent standard.

23.Ans: The following orders are intended to produce the files I proposed in issue 22:

CREATE INDEX VEND_NDX1 ON VENDOR(V_STATE);


CREATE INDEX VEND_NDX2 ON VENDOR(V_AREACODE);

24.Ans: The following orders were utilized to generate insights for the Item and Merchant tables:

ANALYZE TABLE PRODUCT COMPUTE STATISTICS;


ANALYZE TABLE VENDOR COMPUTER STATISTICS;

Answer to the Question no. 2

Database backup and recovery procedures are essential components of an organization's data
management strategy. The importance lies in safeguarding against data loss, system failures,
or unforeseen incidents. These procedures ensure data integrity, minimize downtime, and
contribute to business continuity.

Characteristics of effective backup and recovery procedures include reliability, consistency, and
scalability. Reliable procedures ensure that backups are accurate and can be successfully
restored when needed. Consistency involves regular and systematic backups to capture the
latest changes in data. Scalability ensures that the procedures can accommodate growing data
volumes and evolving system requirements.

In creating backup and recovery plans, several key actions must be taken:

1. Define Backup Strategy: Establish a clear strategy outlining the frequency and type
of backups (full, incremental, or differential) based on data criticality and business
needs.
2. Secure Storage: Store backups in secure and separate locations to mitigate risks
such as data breaches, disasters, or physical damage to the primary system.
3. Testing and Validation: Regularly test the backup and recovery processes to ensure
they work as intended. Validation exercises identify potential issues before a real
recovery scenario occurs.
4. Document Procedures: Document detailed procedures for initiating backups,
conducting recoveries, and handling various scenarios. This documentation serves as
a reference for IT personnel during critical situations.
5. Access Controls: Implement strict access controls to restrict access to backup data,
preventing unauthorized alterations or deletions.
6. Encryption: Apply encryption to protect backup files, both during storage and transfer,
enhancing the security of sensitive data.
7. Regular Monitoring: Implement monitoring tools to track the status of backups and
identify any anomalies or failures promptly.
8. Audit Trails: Keep audit trails to record activities related to backups and recoveries.
These logs aid in identifying the cause of issues and maintaining accountability.
9. Update Plans: Regularly review and update backup and recovery plans to
accommodate changes in data structures, technology, or business processes.
10. Disaster Recovery Planning: Integrate database backup and recovery plans into a
broader disaster recovery strategy, considering overall system resilience and business
impact.

By addressing these actions, organizations can establish robust database backup and recovery
procedures that enhance data reliability, protect against potential threats, and support
uninterrupted business operations.
