48. Tanmay is a Class X student. He has learnt Mail Merge option of

a Word Processor in his computer period. But he is confused with
few terms used to merge documents.
Explain the following briefly, which will help Tanmay better
understand the Mail Merge options.
(i) Merge Field
(ii) Data Source
(iii) Main Document

(i) Merge Field: A merge field in mail merge is a placeholder that

fetches data from each record from the address database or the data
source. The two documents are then merged to generate personalized
letters addressing the records fetched in the merge field.
(ii) Data Source: The data source is a file or database that stores
information of recipients, such as name, address, etc.
(iii) Main Document: The main text document is a word processor fiLe
that contains the main body of the letter, field names and merge
instructions. It can also contain graphics.

(iv) Two types of data on which mail merge can be applied are Labels
and Letters.

49. Define the following:

(a) Sorting (with respect to DBMS)
(b) Referential Integrity
(c) Many-to-Many Relationship(with respect to DBMS)
(d) Foreign key

15
 Ans: (a) Sorting Data Sorting means to arrange the data in either
ascending order of descending order. Select the eolumn(s) then click
on sort buttons. The data will be displayed accordingly.

(b) 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).

(c) Many to Many Relationship: In this relationship, no table has the

primary key column. It signifies that atl 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.

(d) 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) tabid. The “one* side of a relation is always the parent,
andprovides the PK atributes to be copied. The *many” side of a
relation is always the child, into which the FK attributes are copied.

51. Anshita is preparing spreadsheet notes for her Term Exam. Help
her to write short note on the
following:
1. Scenarios
2. Goal Seek
3. Solver
4. Subtotal
1. Scenario: A scenario is a type of What- If anaLysis in which you can store
multiple values of data in the same ceLls. This helps in comparing the results
of varying input values.

2. Goal Seek: A goal seek is a type of What- If analysis tool that is used to
find out the correct input value to get a desired output. The target value is
first determined and the spreadsheet calculates backwards to find which
input value would yieLd the given output.

3. Solver: Solver is a spreadsheet tool that can be used to determine how

the desired outcome can be achieved by changing the assumptions in a
model. It is a type of what-if analysis and is useful when trying to determine
the best outcome on a given set of more than two assumptions.

16
4. Subtotal : is a feature of spreadsheets to simplify the addition process
when working with huge amounts of data. It lets you do the addition of group
wise data which makes it easy to understand the calculation and makes it
more meaningful and presentable.
