Web Application and Security

Q.1. Rohan‟s Grandfather was wondering that how does Rohan chat on web with his father
posted in California, Elaborate the steps involved while transferring data over internet.

Ans Steps followed while transferring data are

 The data is broken up into bits of same sized pieces called packets.
 A header is added to each packet explaining where the data has come from, where it
should end up and where it fits in with the rest of the packets.

 Each packet is sent from computer to computer until it finds its destination.
 Each computer on the way decides where next to send the packet. All packets may not
take the same route.
 At the destination, the packets are examined. If any packets are missing or damaged, a
message is sent asking for them to be re-sent. This continues until all packets have
been received intact.
 The packets are now reassembled into their original form.

Q.2. What precautions must be taken to improve online security?

ANSWER

•Files Transfer : Users can send text files, spread sheets, documents, presentations, audio files,

example, instead of purchasing 10 printers for each user, one printer can be purchased and shared
among multiple users thus saving cost.

EXTRA LONG TYPE QUESTIONS

Q.1. Define the following:
a. Data Integrity
b. Data Inconsistency
c. Composite Primary Key
d. Relationship (with respect to DBMS)

Ans:
a. Data Integrity: Data Integrity is very important as there are multiple databases in a DBMS. It means that
the data is accurate and consistent in the database.

b. Data Inconsistency: Data inconsistency is when the same data exists in

different forms in multiple tables. Which can provide a unreliable or meaningless information.

c. Composite Primary Key: It is also called a composite key. It is a combination of

two or more columns to form a primary key for a table

d. Relationship: A relationship refers to an association or connection between two or

more tables. When we relate two tables, we don't need to enter the same data in separate tables.

Three types of relationships are:

1. One to One relationship
2. One to many or many to one relationship
3. Many to many relationships

Q.2. Your friend owns a chemist shop, he needs to keep records of the medicines with their id’s, date
of purchase, expiry date, price, etc. in a database program. But he does not have any knowledge
about the database. Explain to him the following to get a better understanding of the DBMS
concepts.
1. What is DBMS? Explain in brief.
2. Name any two database programs which can be used to create a table and store the data as per the
requirement.
3. Which field can be set as a Primary Key?
4. Is it possible to make more than one field as a primary key in your table? (Yes/No). Justify your
answer.

Ans. 1. A database management system is a software package with computer programs that controls
the creation, maintenance, and use of a database. It allows organizations to conveniently develop
databases for various
applications.

Prepared By Mr. Gautam Somani PGT(CS) Alok School Sector-11,Udaipur Page 20

2. Two databases are:
i. Microsoft Access
ii. MySQL
iii. OpenOffice Base
3. Id field will be suitable for Primary Key.
4. Yes, we can make more than one column as a primary key in a table and it is known as Composite
Primary Key.

Q.3.Define the following:

1. Sorting (with respect to DBMS)
2. Referential Integrity
3. Many-to-Many Relationship(with respect to DBMS)
4. Foreign key

Ans. 1. Sorting Data Sorting means to arrange the data in either ascending order of descending order.
Select the column(s) then click on sort buttons. The data will be displayed accordingly.
2. Referential Integrity Referential integrity is used to maintain accuracy and consistency of data in a
relationship. In Base, data can be linked between two or more tables with the help of primary key and
foreign key constraints. Referential integrity helps to avoid:
 Adding records to a related table if there is no associated record available in the primary key
table.
 Changing values in a primary if any dependent records are present in associated table(s).
 Deleting records from a primary key table if there are any matching related records available
in associated table(s).
3. Many to Many Relationship

In this relationship, no table has the primary key column. It signifies that all the columns of primary
key table are associated with all the columns of associated table. Example: In the given tables EMP
and DEPT, there is no primary key.
4. Foreign key (FK): identifies a column or set of columns in one (referencing) table that refers to a
column or set of columns in another (referenced) table. The “one” side of a relation is always the
parent, and provides the PK attributes to be copied. The “many” side of a relation is always the child,
into which the FK attributes are copied.

Q.4. What are Macros? How can we record a Macro?

Answer – When the same set of operations must be completed repeatedly, such as formatting or

2. Before performing any operation, go to tools->macro->record macro.
3. Now repeat the motion you just did.
4. Select “Stop Recording” from the drop-down menu. Now save the macro by giving it a name.
