Sample questions on DBMS

1. What are the advantages of DBMS over conventional File System?


2. What do you mean by normalization of database? Normalize any relational database
up to 3NF and write differences between 3NF and BCNF
3. What are the different anomalies may arise if database is not in normalized form?
Normalize the following table upto 3NF.

conceptual data modeling ?
5. Explain concept of key and integrity constrains in RDBMS.
6. A college library management system has different types of users, such as, students,
staff, and teachers. Each user-type has different book transaction privileges. Users can
only view the list of available books that is; users cannot have access to the any type
of data manipulation. The process of book transaction, the number of days, and the
fine-rate is all managed by the library administrator only.

database system with proper example.
