Concepts of Database Management, Eighth Edition Solutions 1-2
11. It is possible to get more information from the same amount of data by using a database approach as opposed to a
nondatabase approach because all data is stored in a single database, instead of being stored in dozens of separate
files, making the process of obtaining information quicker, easier, and even possible in certain situations.
12. Sharing of data means that several users can have access to the same piece of data and use it in a variety of ways.
13. The DBA (database administrator or database administration) is the central person or group in an organization in
charge of the database and the DBMS that runs the database. The DBA attempts to balance the needs of individuals
and the overall needs of the organization.
14. Multiple copies of the same data in an organization leads to inconsistency because each piece of data can have
different values. Controlling redundancy is the result of eliminating, or at least reducing, the multiple copies.
Improved consistency is the result of this controlled redundancy.
15. An integrity constraint is a rule that the data in a database must follow. A database has integrity when the data in it
satisfies all established integrity constraints. A good DBMS should provide an opportunity for users to incorporate
these integrity constraints when they design the database. The DBMS then should ensure that these constraints are
not violated.
16. Security is the prevention of access to the database by unauthorized users. A DBMS provides security features such
as passwords. As additional security, the DBA can assign users to groups and restrict each group to certain data and
to certain types of access.
17. Data independence is the property that lets you change the structure of a database without requiring you to change
the programs that access the database. With data independence, you easily can change the structure of the database
when the need arises.
18. In a database environment, file size is a disadvantage because the DBMS is a large program that occupies a great
amount of disk space and internal memory. Also, because all the data that the database manages for you is stored in
one file, the database file itself requires a large amount of disk space and internal memory.
19. The more complex a product is in general (and a DBMS, in particular, is complex), the more difficult it is to
understand and correctly apply its features. As a result of this complexity, serious problems may result from
mistakes made by users and designers of the DBMS.
20. In a nondatabase environment, each user has a completely separate system; the failure of any single user’s system
does not necessarily affect any other user. On the other hand, if several users are sharing the same database, a failure
on the part of any one user that damages the database in some way might affect all the other users.
21. The great complexity of a database structure makes recovery more difficult. In addition, many users update the data
at the same time, which means that recovering the database involves not only restoring it to the last state in which it
was known to be correct, but also performing the complex task of redoing all the updates made since that time.
22. [Critical Thinking] Answers will differ but students should have reasons for their responses. Any error to a student
transcript/record, such as incorrect grade, courses not listed correctly; incorrect contact information could be an error
that may cause a student to lose a job opportunity, a scholarship, or a loan. It also could affect whether they
graduate.
23. [Critical Thinking] No. The only attributes that would be the same would be contact and demographic information
such as, name, address, phone number, age, and gender. Other attributes are specific to the database context. A
medical database would have attributes to describe, for example, health conditions, previous appointments, lab
results. and medications. A student database would have attributes to describe, for example, courses taken, advisor,
gpa, number of credits, and academic major. A fitness database would have attributes to describe for example,
membership level, athletic ability, fitness classes, fees, and liability waivers.

obvious entity to add to the database. Another entity is department, that is, the department in which the employee
works.

beginning to feel lonely, and to yell out, 'Papa, papa!' at the top of
his voice.
"There were some Prussians passing along the road. I could see
their sabres and their long legs through the casement of the
underground room. Suddenly the idea struck me—'If they enter the
child is lost.' That was enough. I trembled no longer. In a second I
dragged the corpse under the bench, covered it with planks and
shavings, and hurried up the stairs to join the child.
"'Here I am!' I said.
"'What is the matter, papa? How pale you are!'
"'Come, let us get on!'
"I declare to you that the 'Cossacks' might hustle me, or regard me
with suspicion, but I would not take any notice of them. It seemed
that some one was running after me, and crying out behind us all
the time. Once when a horseman came galloping up, I thought I
would have fallen down in a faint! However, after I had passed the
bridges I began to pull myself together. Saint Denis was full of
people. There was no risk of our being fished out of the crowd. Then
I only thought of our little cottage. The Prussians would surely burn
it when they found their comrade, to say nothing of the risk of
Jaquot, my neighbour, the water-bailiff, who, being the only
Frenchman left in the hamlet, would be held responsible for the
dead soldier! Truly it was scarcely plucky to save myself in such a
way!
"I felt that I must arrange for the concealment of the body
somehow! The nearer we came to Paris the closer I cherished this
idea. I could not leave that Prussian in my basement. So at the
ramparts I hesitated no longer.
"'You go on,' I said to the brat, 'I have another place to visit in Saint
Denis.'
"I embraced him, and turned back. My heart was beating rather fast,
but all the same I felt easier in my mind, not having the child with
me then.
"When I again reached
Villeneuve, night was
approaching. I kept my
eyes open, you may
depend, and advanced
foot by foot. The place
seemed quiet enough,
however. I could discern
the hut still standing
yonder in the mist.
There was a long black
line, or row, upon the
quay. This 'palisade' was
composed of Prussians
calling the roll. A
splendid opportunity to
find the house deserted.
As I made my way along
I noticed Father Jaquot
engaged in drying his
nets. Decidedly nothing
was known yet. I
entered my house, I
went down into the
basement and felt about
among the shavings. "I RAISED HIM ON MY BACK."
The Prussian was there!
There were also a couple of rats already busy at work at his helmet,
and, for a moment, I had a horrible fright, when I felt his chinstrap
move! Was he reviving? No; his head was heavy and cold.
"I crouched in a corner and waited. I had the idea to throw the body
into the Seine when the others were all asleep.
"I do not know whether it was the proximity of the dead, but I was
uncommonly sorry when the Prussians sounded the 'retreat' that
night. Loud trumpet blasts resounded—Ta-ta-ta! three by three,
regular toad's music. It is not to such music that our fellows wish to
go to bed!
"For some five minutes I heard the clanking of sabres, the tapping at
doors; and then the soldiers entered the court-yard and began to
shout—
"'Hofmann! Hofmann!'
"Poor Hofmann remained quite quiet under his shavings; but 'twas I
who was on the alert. Every instant I expected to see the guard
enter. I had picked up the dead man's sabre, and there I was ready,
but saying to myself, 'If you get out of this scrape, my boy, you will
owe a splendid wax taper to Saint John the Baptist of Belleville!'

he novel portrait gallery which is here commenced, and
in which it is our purpose to give portraits, month by
month, of the most eminent men and women of the
day at different times of life, cannot be more fitly
opened than with those of the great poet whose name
has been for more than fifty years the glory of our
literature. Portraits of Lord Tennyson in youth are rare; but Lord
Tennyson himself has had the kindness to assist us. "Mayall, of
Regent-street," he writes, "has done the best photograph, and
Cameron, of 70, Mortimer-street, has a photograph, as a young
man, from a portrait by Lawrence." These are the two here
reproduced. Both have a special interest, besides the interest of
comparison which belongs to all the series: the first, as a portrait of
the poet, by one of the best artists of that day, at an age when his
first volume—tiny, but of dazzling promise—had just been given to
the world; and the second, as that which Lord Tennyson regards as
the best portrait of himself in later life.

t has been said that every poet destined to become famous has
written a great poem before five-and-twenty. Mr. Swinburne is,
however, an exception to this rule. He was seven-and-twenty when,
1864, he published "Atalanta in Calydon," his first great
work, and the finest imitation of a Greek play ever
written. Two years later, the first series of "Poems and
Ballads" proved conclusively that the new singer who
had arisen must be classed with Shelley at the head of
all the lyric bards of England. Mr. Swinburne's
appearance at that time is given in the first of our two
portraits, which is said by those who knew him to be an admirable
likeness.
Nearly a quarter of a century has since elapsed, and it is interesting
to notice how the course of years, which has failed to tame the fiery
vigour of his verse, has wrought the younger aspect of the poet into
the older and still finer one.
