2. Data redundancy :

The repetition of information is known as redundancy .This redundancy leads

to higher storage and access cost.

It may lead to data inconsistency, that is different copies of the same data may
have different values.

c Define the term: 2M

i) Candidate key
ii) ii) Primary key

Ans Candidate key: In a relation, there may be a primary key or may not, but there may be a 1 mark
key or combination of keys which uniquely identify the record. Such a key is called Candidate key
as Candidate key. 1 mark
Primary Key
OR

A candidate key is a column, or set of columns, in a table that can uniquely identify any
database record without referring to any other data.

The candidate key can be simple (having only one attribute) or composite as well.

For Example, {STUD_NO, COURSE_NO} is a composite candidate key for relation

STUDENT_COURSE.

Primary key: A key which is selected by the designer to uniquely identify the entity is
called as Primary key. A primary key cannot contain duplicate values and it can never
contain null values inside it.

Example, RollNo attribute is a primary key for Relation Student.

d Describe exception handling in brief. 4M

Ans Exception Handling: Exception is nothing but an error. Exception can be raise when any relevant 4
DBMS encounters errors or it can be raised explicitly. points 1 mark
each
When the system throws a warning or has an error it can lead to an exception. Such
exception needs to be handled and can be defined internally or user defined.

Exception handling is nothing but a code block in memory that will attempt to resolve
current error condition.

Syntax:

DECLARE ;

Declaration section

…executable statement;

EXCEPTION

WHEN ex_name1 THEN ;

Error handling statements/user defined action to be carried out;

END;

Types of Exception:

1) Predefined Exception/system defined exception/named exception: Are always

automatically raised whenever related error occurs. The most common errors that can
occur during the execution of PL/SQL. Not declared explicitly i.e. cursor already open,
invalid cursor, no data found, zero divide and too many rows etc. Programs are handled
by system defined Exceptions.

2) User defined exception: It must be declare by the user in the declaration part of the
block where the exception is used. It is raised explicitly in sequence of statements using:

Raise_application_error(Exception_Number, Error_Message);

COMMIT or ROLLBACK command was issued.

The syntax for ROLLBACK is:

ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT_NAME;

OR

ROLLBACK;

OR

ROLLBACK WORK;

Example:

b Explain joins in SQL with examples. 4M

Ans JOIN: Definition: 2

marks, Any 2
A SQL join is an instruction to combine data from two sets of data (i.e. two tables). A types with
JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column description: 1
between them. SQL Join types are as follows: mark each

1) INNER JOIN or EQUI JOIN:

A join which is based on equalities is called equi join. In equi join comparison
operator “=” is used to perform a Join.

Page 9 of 20
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Syntax:

SELECT tablename.column1_name,tablename.column1_name

FROM table_name1,table_name2

where table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name;

Example:

Select stud_info.stud_name, stud_info.branch_code, branch_details.location

From stud_info, branch_details

Where Stud_info.branch_code=branch_details.branch_code;

2) SELF JOIN:

The SQL SELF JOIN is used to join a table to itself, as if the table were two
tables, temporarily renaming at least one table in the SQL statement.

Syntax:

SELECT a.column_name, b.column_name

FROM table1 a, table1 b

WHERE a.common_filed = b.common_field;

Example:

Select x.stud_name, y.stud_name

from stud_info x, stud_info y

Where x.leader= y.stud_id;

3) LEFT OUTER JOIN:

A left outer join retains all of the rows of the “left” table, regardless of whether there is a
row that matches on the “right” table.

Syntax:

Select column1name,column2name

from table1name any_alias1 ,table2name any_alias2

on any_alias1.columnname(+) = any_alias2.columnname;

OR

on table1name.columnname= table2name.columnname;

Example:

select last_name, department_name

from employees e, departments d

on e.department_id(+) = d.department_id;

OR

select last_name, department_name

from employees left outer join departments

on employees.department_id = departments.department_id;

4) RIGHT OUTER JOIN:

A right outer join retains all of the rows of the “right” table, regardless of
whether there is a row that matches on the “left” table.

Syntax:

Select column1name, column2name

from table1name any_alias1, table2name any_alias2

on any_alias1.columnname =any_alias2.columnname (+);

OR

Select column1name, column2name

from table1name any_alias1 right outer join table2 name any_alias2

on any_alias1.columnname =any_alias2.columnname;

5) NON EQUI JOIN:

Non equi joins is used to return result from two or more tables where exact join is
not possible.

Syntax:

Select aliasname.column1name, aliasname.column2name from tablename alias

where <condition using range>;

For example:

In emp table and salgrade table. The salgrade table contains grade and their low
salary and high salary. Suppose you want to find the grade of employees based on
their salaries then you can use NON EQUI join.

Select e.empno, e.ename, e.sal, s.grade

from emp e, salgrade s

where e.sal between s.lowsal and s.hisal;

c Explain function in PL/SQL with example. 4M

Ans Function: Description: 2

marks,
Function is a logically grouped set of SQL and Pl/SQL statements that perform a Example : 2
specific task. A function is same as a procedure except that it returns a value. A marks
function is created using the CREATE FUNCTION statement.

Syntax:

CREATE [OR REPLACE] FUNCTION function_name

[(parameter_name [IN | OUT | IN OUT] type [, ...])]
RETURN return_datatype
{IS | AS}
BEGIN
< function_body >
END [function_name];

Page 12 of 20

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Where,

 function-name specifies the name of the function.

 [OR REPLACE] option allows the modification of an existing function.
 The optional parameter list contains name, mode and types of the parameters. IN
represents the value that will be passed from outside and OUT represents the
parameter that will be used to return a value outside of the procedure.
 The function must contain a return statement.
 The RETURN clause specifies the data type you are going to return from the
function.
 function-body contains the executable part.
 The AS keyword is used instead of the IS keyword for creating a standalone
function.

Example:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Success_cnt

RETURN number

IS cnt number(7) := 0;

BEGIN

SELECT count(*) into cnt

FROM candidate where result='Pass';

RETURN cnt;

END;

d Explain database security with its requirements in detail. 4M

Ans Database security Definition 1

Mark, 3 mark
Database security refers to the collective measures used to protect and secure a database for detail
or database management software from illegal use and malicious threats and attacks. description

Requirements of Database Security:

1. For prevention of data theft such as bank account numbers, credit card
information, passwords, work related documents or sheets, etc.

2. 2. To make data remain safe and confidential.

3. To provide confidentiality which ensures that only those individuals should ever

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
be able to view data they are not entitled to.

4. To provide integrity which ensures that only authorized individuals should ever
be able change or modify information.

5. To provide availability which ensure that the data or system itself is available for
use when authorized user wants it.

6. To provide authentication which deals with the desire to ensure that an

authorized individual.

7. To provide non-repudiation which deals with the ability to verify that message
has been sent and received by an authorized user.

OR

1. Confidentiality: The principle of confidentiality specifies that only sender

and intended recipients should be able to access the contents of a message.
Confidentiality gets compromised if an unauthorized person is able to access the
contents of a message

2. Integrity: when the contents of the message are changed after the sender sends
it, but before it reaches the intended recipient, we say that the integrity of the
message is lost.

3. Authentication: Authentication helps to establish proof of identities. The

Authentication process ensures that the origin of a message is correctly identified.

4. Availability: The goal of availability s to ensure that the data, or the system
itself, is available for use when the authorized user wants it.

4 Attempt any THREE of the following : 12 M

a Explain the four roles of database administrator. 4M

Ans 1. Schema Definition The Database Administrator creates the database schema by 1 Mark for
executing DDL statements. Schema includes the logical structure of database table each role
(Relation) like data types of attributes, length of attributes, integrity constraints etc.

2. Storage structure and access method definition The DBA creates appropriate
storage structures and access methods by writing a set of definitions which is translated
by data storage and DDL compiler.

3. Schema and physical organization modification DBA writes set of definitions to

modify the database schema or description of physical storage organization.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Granting authorization for data access The DBA provides different access rights to
the users according to their level. Ordinary users might have highly restricted access to
data, while you go up in the hierarchy to the administrator, you will get more access
rights. Integrity constraints specifications: Integrity constraints are written by DBA and
they are stored in a special file which is accessed by database manager while updating
data.

5. Routine Maintenance some of the routine maintenance activities of a DBA is

given below.

(i) Taking backup of database periodically

(ii) Ensuring enough disk space is available all the time.

(iii) Monitoring jobs running on the database.

(iv) Ensure that performance is not degraded by some expensive task submitted by some
users.

6. Integrity- constraint specification: Integrity constraints are written by DBA and they
are stored in a special file, which is accessed by database manager, while updating the
data.

b State and Explain 1 NF and 2 NF with example. 4M

Ans First Normal Form (1NF): For 1NF - 2

Marks, For
A relation R is said to be in first normal form (1NF) if the domain of all attributes of R 2NF -2 Marks
are atomic.

OR

A table is in the first normal form if it contains no repeating elements groups. Example:
Supplier(sno,sname,location,pno,qty)

SNO SNAME LOCATION PNO QTY

S1 Abc Mumbai P1 200

S2 Pqr Pune P2 300

S3 Lmn Delhi P1 400

The above relation is in 1NF as all the domains are having atomic value. But it is not in
2NF.

Second Normal Form (2NF):

A relation is said to be in the second normal form if it is in first normal form and all the
non key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example:

In the above relation NAME, LOCATION depends on SNO and QTY on (SNO, PNO)
so the table can be split up into two tables as Supplier(SNO,SNAME,LOCATION) and
SP(SNO,PNO,QTY) and now both the tables are in second normal form.

Supplier

SNO SNAME LOCATION

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Advantages of PL/SQL:

1. PL/SQL is portable and high transaction processing language.

2. PL/SQL is in fact procedural language but it also supports object oriented

programming.

3. It allows user to write as well as access the functions and procedures from outside the
programs.

4. It has got built in libraries of packages.

d Write step by step syntax to create, open and close cursor in PL/SQL. 4M

Ans A cursor holds the rows (one or more) returned by a SQL statement. 2 marks,
Opening: 1
Declaring: This term is used to declare a cursor so that memory initialization will take mark, Closing
place. cursor: 1
mark
A cursor is declared by defining the SQL statement that returns a result set.

Example:

Declare CURSOR Winter_18 IS SELECT roll_no, std_name, percentage FROM

student;

Opening: A Cursor is opened and populates data by executing the SQL statement
defined by the cursor.

Example:

Open Winter_18;

Closing a Cursor: This forces cursor for releasing the allocated memory assigned/
occupied by cursor.

Example:

CLOSE Winter_18;

e Explain Transaction ACID properties. 4M

Ans ACID properties of transaction For each

property - 1
1. Atomicity: When one transaction takes place, many operations occur under one Mark
transaction. Atomicity means either all operations will take place property and reflect in
the database or none of them will be reflected.

2. Consistency: Consistency keeps the database consistent. Execution of a transaction

Page 17 of 20

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
needs to take place in isolation. It helps in reducing complications of executing multiple
transactions at a time and preserves the consistency of the database.

3. Isolation: It is necessary to maintain isolation for the transactions. This means one
transaction should not be aware of another transaction getting executed. Also their
intermediate result should be kept hidden.

4. Durability: When a transaction gets completed successfully, it is important that the

changes made by the transaction should be preserved in database in spite of system
failures.
