Answer for unit one monitor and administer server database

Part-I: Multiple Choice Answers


1. B. Security vulnerabilities
o Explanation: Database logs during startup can record failed login attempts, unusual
access patterns, or errors related to security configurations, helping to identify potential
vulnerabilities.
2. B. To identify potential security threats
o Explanation: Tracking connection attempts can reveal unauthorized access attempts,
brute-force attacks, or suspicious activity originating from unexpected sources.
3. C. To ensure the stability, performance, and security of the database
o Explanation: As stated in the provided text, monitoring irregularities is crucial for
proactively identifying and addressing issues that could compromise the database's
stability, performance, or security.
4. B) Referential Integrity
o Explanation: The definition provided in the text for Referential Integrity directly matches
the description in the question.
5. c) Normalization
o Explanation: The text explicitly states that normalization is the process of breaking down
tables to reduce redundancy and dependency, thus improving data organization.
Part-II: Short Answers
1. Explain the concept of "Entity Integrity" in the principles of databases.

o Entity Integrity is a database principle that ensures each row (or record) in a table has a
unique identifier. This is typically enforced through a primary key, which must have a
non-null and unique value for every record. The purpose is to guarantee that each entity
represented in the table is distinct and can be reliably identified.

2. Why is normalization considered an important principle in database design?

o Normalization is important because it helps to minimize data redundancy and


dependency. By organizing data into smaller, well-structured tables, it reduces the
chances of data inconsistencies, makes data updates and maintenance easier, and
improves the overall efficiency and integrity of the database.

3. What are the ACID properties, and why are they essential for database transactions?
o ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. These properties are
essential because they ensure that database transactions are processed reliably.
 Atomicity: Guarantees that a transaction is treated as a single, indivisible unit of work.

Either all changes within the transaction are committed, or none are.
 Consistency: Ensures that a transaction brings the database from one valid state to
another, maintaining all defined rules and constraints.
 Isolation: Ensures that concurrent transactions operate independently of each other,
preventing interference and data corruption.
 Durability: Guarantees that once a transaction is committed, the changes are
permanent and will survive system failures.
4. How does the choice of a data model impact the design of a database?

o The choice of a data model significantly impacts how data is structured, organized, and
accessed within a database. Different data models (e.g., relational, document-oriented,
graph) are suited for different types of data and application requirements. The chosen
model dictates the relationships between data elements, the methods used for querying
and manipulating data, and the overall flexibility and scalability of the database design.
Selecting an appropriate data model is crucial for optimizing performance, managing
complexity, and meeting the specific needs of the application.
