Short Answer Type Questions


1. What is database?
A. A database is a collection of data or information of similar set of records. Here data refers to the
collection of figures and facts. When the data is processed it is converted into the information.
Database not only retrieves the data from the tables but also allows the user to modify the data.
So finally we can say that the database is a package which is used for creation, modification etc.
Concurrent users can work on the same database at the same time.
2. Name any four categories of DMBS.
A. Hierarchical DBMS – Data is organized in a tree-like structure with parent-child relationships.
Network DBMS – Data is structured as a graph, allowing multiple parent-child relationships.
Relational DBMS (RDBMS) – Data is stored in tables with rows and columns, using SQL for
queries.
Object-Oriented DBMS (OODBMS) – Data is stored as objects, similar to object-oriented
programming concepts.
3. What do you mean by Flat file DBMS?
A. Flat file is used for small amount of data and the data is stored in a single table.
4. What is term sorting?
A. Sorting data means either the data can be arranged in ascending or descending order. To sort
the data in a table, select the column and select sorting option and the data will be sorted
accordingly.
5. Discuss some features of database.
A. Features of database are:
 Organize data into manageable related units.
 Enter, modify and locate data
 Extract subsets of data based on specific criteria
 Create custom forms and reports.
 Automate common database tasks.
 Graph database relationships.
 Add clipart to forms and reports.
 Create macros for automating various functions.
 Create database applications, consisting of modules linked through menus, dialog boxes
and command buttons.
6. Write any two advantages of database?
A. Advantages of database are:
Data Organization: Data is stored in a well-organized and structured format (tables, rows, and
columns), making it easier to manage.
Data Integrity: DBMS ensures data consistency through constraints and rules.
Reduced Data Redundancy: DBMS eliminates unnecessary duplication of data by using
normalization techniques and relationships between tables.
Data Security: DBMS allows you to control user access to specific data using permissions and
roles.
Concurrent Access: Multiple users can access and work on the database simultaneously without
conflicts.
Backup and Recovery: DBMS provides automated backup and recovery tools to ensure data is
not lost during failures.
Scalability: DBMS can handle large volumes of data and users as the organization grows.
Data Sharing: Data can be shared among different users, applications, and systems without the
need for duplication.
7. What do you mean by RDBMS?
A. RDBMS Stands for Relational Database Management System in which the data is organized in the
form of Tables. These tables consist of Rows and Columns.
8. What is the difference between forms and reports?
A. Forms provides an interface to users to view, add, modify in both tables and queries.
Reports are presented forms used to present formatted summaries or lists of the data from one
or more tables or queries.
9. What is Referential Integrity? Explain its purposes.
A. Referential Integrity is a concept that ensures relationships between tables remain consistent. It
is a set of rules that govern the relationships between tables in a relational database, maintaining
the accuracy and reliability of data. The primary goal of referential integrity is to prevent actions
that would compromise the consistency and validity of relational data.
 Referential Integrity ensures that every foreign key has a valid counterpart in the referenced
table.
 Referential Integrity enforces these relationships, ensuring that the relationships accurately
represent the associations between entities in the business domain.
 Referential Integrity is essential for maintaining the reliability, accuracy, and overall quality of
data in a relational database.

Long Answer Type Questions


1. Define Primary key and also its properties.
A. A primary key is the column that uniquely identifies each row in a table. If a primary key is
applied to one or more columns, then it is known as Composite Key.
Rules for Primary Key
 It should not contain a null value.
 Each table should have one primary key.
2. Explain different types of relationships.
A. There are three ways in which relationships can be built in the database. They are:
One to One
One to Many or Many to one
Many to Many
One to One Relationship: In this relationship, both the tables must have one primary key.
One to Many or Many to One Relationship: In this relationship one of the table should have
primary key. In this one column of one table will be associated with the columns of the
associated table.
Many to Many Relationship: In this relationship, no table has a primary key defined which
means that all the columns of one table are associated with the columns of the other tables.
3. To maintain the referential integrity. What are the four options supported by LibreOffice Base.
A. To Maintain referential integrity, Base provides below four options.
1. No action: This is the default option. This option states that user should not be allowed to
update or delete any record in the master table if any related record exist in the transaction
table.
2. Update Cascade: This option allows the user to delete or update the referenced field but along
with it all the related records in any of the transaction tables will also be deleted or updated.
3. Set NULL: This option assigns NULL value to all the related fields if the master record is deleted
or updated.
4. Set default: This option assigns any fixed default value to all the related fields if the master
record is deleted or updated.
4. What is the difference between forms and reports?
A. Differences between Forms and Reports are:
Forms Reports
It provides systematic way of storing It displays and print the data in a summarized
information into a database. manner.

Concurrent users can work on the same database at the same time. Examples of DBMS are: Oracle,
MS-Access, Microsoft SQL, Clipper, Foxpro
(b) Data Redundancy: Data redundancy in a database management system (DBMS) is when the same
data is stored in more than one location within a database or across multiple data systems.
(c) Report: A report is a graphical object that presents data in a formatted layout. This is useful for
displaying data in an organised manner and for printing.
2. Give one point of difference between
(a) Data and Information
(b) Form and Query
(c) Network and Hierarchical Data Model
A. (a) Data and Information:
Data Information
Data is a raw fact. Information is a process form of data.
Data considers facts, symbols, images for Information considers knowledge derived from
reference or analysis. study, experience or instruction.
Eg: 23 is a data Eg: age = 23 is information
(b) Form and Query:
Form Query
Forms provides systematic way of storing Query is used to retrieve information from table
information into a database.
Forms lets user to provide input, view or edit If we change the data of saved query, it does not
data directly in database objects. change the original data
Forms gather information of a record from Forms can extract information from one or

A. Advantages of DBMS are:
Data Organization: Data is stored in a well-organized and structured format (tables, rows, and
columns), making it easier to manage.
Data Integrity: DBMS ensures data consistency through constraints and rules.
Reduced Data Redundancy: DBMS eliminates unnecessary duplication of data by using normalization

4. Consider the table given below and answer the following questions.
Table
Book_Id Book_Name Author Name Price Publisher
F001 Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen 550 ABC
S004 Amazing Astronomy E. Shane 1050 ABC
C005 IT and Mankind MHA Diwaan 2500 HYM

(a) Name the fields in the given table.


(b) Which field should be made the primary key?
(c) Is there any alternate key in the table?
(d) How is primary key different foreign key? Explain with example.
A. (a) Book_Id, Book_name, Author Name, Price, Publisher.
(b) Book_Id can be created as primary key.
(c) Yes, we can create Publisher as Alternate key
(d) The main difference between a primary key and a foreign key is that a primary key uniquely
identifies each row in a table, while a foreign key links data in one table to another:
Primary Key:
A column or columns that uniquely identify each row in a table. Primary keys ensure that each record
is identifiable and that no two rows contain the same value. They are used to extract or archive data
from a table. Examples of primary keys include a driver's license number, telephone number with
area code, or vehicle identification number (VIN).
Foreign Key:
A column or columns that references a primary key in another table. Foreign keys establish and
enforce relationships between tables, and ensure data integrity. For example, in a library database,
a Books table might have a BookID primary key, and a Loans table might have a BookID foreign key.
The foreign key references the primary key in the Books table, ensuring that only valid BookIDs are
stored in the Loans table. Here are some other differences between primary keys and foreign keys:
1. Number of keys: There is only one primary key in a table, but there can be multiple foreign keys.
2. Null values: Primary keys cannot accept null values, but foreign keys can.
3. Deleting values: Primary key values cannot be removed from the parent table, but foreign key
values can.
4. Temporary tables: Primary keys can be defined in a temporary table, but foreign keys cannot.

footer sections for the form. database other than minor changes.

2. Name the menu items present on Base User Interface.


A. Title bar, Menu bar (File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Window, Help), Standard Toolbar, Status Bar.
4. How can we define a primary key in a table?
A. Primary key: Primary key is a field that uniquely identifies a record in a table. Primary key cannot
accept null values. Primary key is indexed in database by default. There can be only one Primary key
in a table.
5. Write steps to sort the table in descending order of primary key.
A. Steps to sort the table in descending order of primary key:
Step 1: Open the Event table in datasheet view and select the field on which you want to sort, that
the field “Points” is selected to sort the records in ascending order.
Step 2: From the tool bar click Sort Ascending icon if the table has to be sorted in ascending order of
selected field. Alternatively select Sort Descending icon if the table has to be sorted in descending
order of selected field.
Step 3: The table will be sorted in the descending order of points.
6. What is the use of navigation box with respect to tables in a database?
A. The black pointing arrow ( ) just before the field name is the record pointer. To navigate through
various records of the table, we use the navigation box present at the bottom of the datasheet
window. It indicates a current record of the table at any given time.
Working with Multiple Tables
Answer the following questions
1. Give any two advantages of relating a table in a database.
A. Relating tables in a database can help you understand the relationships between data and create
meaningful information. Here are some advantages of relating tables in a database:
Create Meaningful Information: You can join tables to understand how they connect and create
meaningful information.
Automatically Update Related Fields: You can use the Cascade Update Related Fields option to
automatically update all fields that reference a primary key when you update it.
Flexibility: You can easily add, update, or delete tables and relationships without impacting the
database structure or existing applications.
2. What is redundancy or inconsistency controlled in a database? Explain with an example.
A. Database redundancy and inconsistency can be controlled by:
Normalization: This process organizes data to minimize duplication and dependency. It involves
reorganizing the database's tables and columns to ensure that dependencies are enforced
correctly.
Primary keys: Each record has a unique identifier.
Foreign keys: These ensure that relationships between tables are consistent.
Constraints: These are rules that enforce data integrity.
Deleting unused data: If you move data to a new database but forget to delete it from the old one,
you'll have the same data in two places.
Centralized administration: This removes inconsistency by ensuring that the same information is
not stored in different files.
3. Define referential integrity. Who maintains referential integrity in a database.
A. Referential integrity is a database concept that ensures the relationships between tables remain
consistent and accurate. It's maintained by foreign key constraints in a database system.
 Referential integrity is a logical dependency between a foreign key and a primary key. A foreign
key is a primary key from one table that appears in another table. Referential integrity ensures
that each foreign key in a table points to a unique primary key value in another table.
 Referential integrity is important because it prevents incorrect records from being added, deleted,
or modified. It also helps to ensure that data is not lost and that data quality is maintained.
 Referential integrity is enforced through constraints, such as foreign key constraints. When an SQL
operation attempts to change data in a way that would violate referential integrity, the database
manager enforces a set of rules associated with each referential constraint.
4. Differentiate between one to one relationship and one to many relationship. Give suitable
examples to explain your answer.
A. The main difference between a one-to-one relationship and a one-to-many relationship is that in a
one-to-one relationship, each record in one table is linked to a single record in another table, while
in a one-to-many relationship, one record in one table is linked to multiple records in another table:
One-to-one relationship: In a one-to-one relationship, each record in one table has at most one
related record in another table. For example, a one-to-one relationship can exist between employees
and the cars they drive.
One-to-many relationship: In a one-to-many relationship, one record in one table is linked to multiple
records in another table. For example, a one-to-many relationship can exist between a product
category and the individual products within that category.
5. Explain many to many relationship with an example.
A. A many-to-many relationship is when one or more items in one table can be related to one or more
items in another table.
To create a many-to-many relationship, you need to create a new table to connect the other two
tables. This third table is called a join table. Each record in the join table includes a match field that
contains the value of the primary keys of the two tables it joins.
Here are some examples of many-to-many relationships:
Customers and Products: Customers can buy multiple products, and products can be purchased by
many customers.
Students and Classes: Students can enroll in multiple courses, and each course can have multiple
students.
Reservations and Payments: A hotel's reservation table and payment table both include the name
of the guest, and a guest can have multiple reservations and payments.
Sales Reps and Customers: Customers can buy from multiple sales reps on a sales team, and a sales
rep can sell to many different customers.
Queries in Base
Answer the following questions
1. Define a query? What is the need of creating a query in a database?
A. A query is one of the most important feature of any DBMS. Using a query, we can retrieve and display
data from one or more tables in a database. This is done by giving specific search criteria to the DBMS
so that we are able to view the exact information that we want.
Need of Creating a Query:
1. Retrieving Specific Information: Queries allow you to extract specific data from your database
based on your needs. You can filter, sort, and group data to answer specific questions or generate
reports.
2. Data Analysis and Insights: Queries enable you to analyze data, identify trends, and gain insights.
You can use them to calculate statistics, find patterns, and make informed decisions.
3. Data Manipulation: Queries can be used to modify data in your database. You can update records,
insert new data, or delete existing data based on specific criteria.
4. Data Integration: Queries can be used to combine data from multiple tables or sources. This allows
you to create comprehensive views of your data and perform complex analysis.
2. Rearrange the steps given below so as to create a query using a wizard.
 Give Alias
 Select the fields
 Set the criterion
 Set the sorting order
 Give table name
A. 1. Select the fields
2. Give table name
3. Give Alias
4. Set the criterion
5. Set the sorting order
3. What all information is seen in the overview (last step) of the Query wizard?
A. The last step of the Query wizard displays the entire overview of the query.
Name of the Query – By default, the name of the query is Query Events by default. If desired, type
the new name in the text box.
The action to be performed after the wizard finishes – By default Display Query option will be
selected. Click and select the Modify Query radio button if the query has to be edited in the Design
view.
Complete detail of the query – This section contains a summary about the query that has been
created.
4. What is the use of Alias row in the Design grid of the Query Design window?
A. The column header name will be displayed when we run the query. By default, the field names will
be displayed as column headers. Many times field names are not user friendly, so an alias name
which is more readable, is chosen to be displayed in the query output.
5. Name any four mathematical functions that can be applied to numerical data in a query?
A. Four mathematical functions that can be applied to numerical data in a query are count, sum,
minimum, maximum, average.
6. Name the three ways of creating a query in LibreOffice Base?
