Consider the following table: 5 L3 2

Works (Pname,Cname,Salary)
Lives (Pname,Street,City)
Located_in (Lname,City)
Manager (Pname,Mgrname)
Write the queries in relational algebra to
10
i.Find the names of all persons who live in the city “Mumbai”
ii.Retrieve the names of all persons of ‘infosys’ whose salary is between
30000 and 50000
iii.List the names of the people who work for ‘wipro’ along with the cities
they live in
iv.Find the average salary of all ‘infosys’
Given relational schema: 5 L3 2
Passenger (PID, pname, pgender, pcity)
Agency (aid, aname, acity)
Flight (fid, fdate, time, src, dest)
Booking (PID, aid, fid, fdate)
Construct relational algebra expression for the following:
(i)Get the complete details of all flights to new Delhi
(ii)Find only the flight numbers for passenger with pid 123 for flights to
Chennai before
11
06/11/2020
(iii)Find the passenger names for those who do not have any booking in
any flights
(iv)Get the details of flights that are scheduled on both dates 01/12/2020
and 02/12/2020 at 16:00
hours
(v)Find the details of all male passengers who are associated with the jet
agency.

12 Describe the steps of an algorithm for ER – to - relational mapping. 5 L2 2

Discuss the various types of constraints in SQL with examples. How do they 5 L2 2
13 help in maintaining data integrity?

Describe the different types of relational operations in Relational Algebra. 5 L2 2

No. ks Level
Explain the difference between INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, 5 L3 2
15 and FULL JOIN in SQL with examples.

Explain the different SQL data definition statements and their significance in 5 L2 3
16 defining database schemas.

Explain the importance of schema change statements in SQL. Provide 5 L2 3

17 examples of how they modify a database schema.

Explain how the DELETE and TRUNCATE statements differ in SQL. 5 L2 3

18 Provide examples.

Explain the significance of the HAVING clause in SQL. How is it different 5 L2 3

19 from the WHERE clause? Provide examples.

Explain how SQL supports aggregate functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, 5 L2 3
20 MIN, and MAX. Provide examples for each function.

Write an SQL query to create a "Company" table with attributes 5 L3 3

(Company_ID, Company_Name, Location) and a "Employee" table with
21
attributes (Employee_ID, Name, Age, Salary, Company_ID). Ensure that
Company_ID is a foreign key in the Employee table.
Write an SQL query to create a "Student" table with attributes (Student_ID, 5 L3 3
Name, Age, Department, CGPA), and ensure that Student_ID is the primary
22
key. Write an SQL query to retrieve the names of students who have a CGPA
greater than 8.5 and belong to the 'Computer Science' department.
