database.

-> In a simple terms database is a collection of data in some organized way to facilities its users to easily
access, manage
and upload the data.

4]What is the purpose of Normalization in DBMS?


-> Normalization is the process of analysing the relational schemas the primary keys in order to fulfil certain
properties .
The properties include:
-> To minimize the redundancy of the data.
->To minimize the insert , Delete and update data.

5] What are the different type of languages that are available in the DBMS ?
-> DDL (Data Definition Language)
DCL (Data Control Language)
DML (Data Manipulation Language)

6] What is the purpose of SQL ?


-> SQL stands for Structure Query Language whose main purpose in to interact with the relational database
in the form of inserting and updating ,modifying the data in the database.

7] Explain the concepts of a primary key and foreign key.


-> Primary key is used to uniquely identify the records in a database.
Foreign key is used to link two or more tables together in a database.
For example :
There are 2 tables – Employee and Department . Both have one common field /column as ‘ID’.
where ID is the primary key of the employee table while this is the foreign key for the Department table.

overview from the database .

9] What is Data ?
-> Data can be defined as a systematic record of a particular quantity.

10] What are the advantages of DBMS ?


-> Redundancy control
Providing multiple user interfaces
Provide backup and recovery
Ensure data consistency etc..

12] What is Normalization ?


-> Normalization is the process of analysing the given relationship schemas according to their functional
dependencies.
First Normal Form [1NF]
Second Normal Form[2NF]
Third Normal Form[3NF]

13] What is an Entity ?


-> The Entity is a set of attributes in a database.

14] What is 1NF?


-> 1NF is the First Normal Form . It is the simplest type of normalization that you can implement in a database.
Every column must have atomic (single value)
To remove duplication column from the same table .
create separate tables for each group of related data and identify each row with a unique column .

15] What is 2NF ?


-> The table is in 1NF, i.e. firstly it is necessary that the table should follow the rules.
Every non – prime attributes is fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

16] What is 3NF ?


-> It is in second normal form.
There is no transitive functional dependency .

17] Describe the types of keys .


-> Primary Key : The primary key is an attributes in a table that can uniquely identify each record in a table.
Candidate Key : The Candidate Key is an attributes or set of an attributes which can uniquely identify a tuple.
Super Key : The super key is a set of attributes which can uniquely identify a tuple. Super key is a superset of
the candidate key.
Foreign key: The foreign key is a primary key from one table which has a relationship with another table.
it acts as a cross references between tables.

22] What is E- R Model is DBMS ?


-> Entity – Relationship as the name suggests is the concept that showcases the relationship between different
entities that exist.
or
ER Model is a designed or blueprint of a data base that can later be implement as a database .

23] What is Record, Field , View, Trigger, Denormalization ?


-> Record : record is the collection of values of a specific entity .
Field : filed is an area within a record reserved for a specific piece of data.
View : view is Virtual Tables. Liked Tables that contain data, view simply contain queries that dynamically retrieve
data when used.
Trigger : trigger is one of the most significant codes which is deployed atomically in response to events occurring in
tables or views .
Denormalization : Denormalization means Boosting up database performance adding redundant data which in turn
helps rid of complex data is called Denormalization.

24] What you mean by Instance ?


-> The collection of information stores store in the database at a particular moment is called an instance of the database.
