Ans: 1. Shared hosting
It is the most common type of web hosting. Different websites are stored on a single server and they
share resources like RAM and CPU. This is cheap and easy to use.
2. Dedicated hosting
In dedicated hosting, the client leases the entire web server and all its resources. Here the client has
full control over the web server. It provides guaranteed performance, but it is expensive.

dedicated hosting.
32. What is data independence? What are the different levels of data independence?
Ans: The ability to modify the schema definition at one level without affecting the schema definition at
the next higher level is called data independence. Two types of data independence are physical data
independence and logical data independence.
1. Physical data independence
It is the ability to modify the schema at the physical level without affecting the schema at the conceptual
level.
2. Logical data independence
It is the ability to modify the schema at the logical level without affecting the schema at the view level.
Logical data independence is difficult to achieve than physical data independence.
33. How do you use ORDER BY clause along with SELECT command?
Ans: The ORDER BY command is used to retrieve sorted data. The keywords ASC (for ascending) and
DESC (for descending) are used along with ORDER BY.
E.g. SELECT * FROM student ORDER BY name ASC; (To retrieve student details in Ascending order of
their names from the student table)
34. What are the different data types used in SQL? Explain.

decimal point.
CHAR – Used for fixed length characters. char (10) means 10 character memory will be allocated for all
data.
VARCHAR – Used for variable length characters. varchar (10) only allocates as many memory as needed
up to 10 characters.
DATE – To represent date. SQL date format is YYYYMMDD
TIME – For representing time. Format is HH:MM:SS
35. What is cloud computing? What are the services offered by cloud?
Ans: It is a computing model, where resources such as computing power, storage, network and software

44. (a) Distinguish between primary key and alternate key.
Ans: Primary key is one of the candidate keys chosen by the database designer to be the unique
identifier for the table. There will be only one Primary key for a table. A candidate key that is not the

(b) Write a short note on any three operations in relational algebra.
Ans:
1. SELECT operation
It is used to select rows from a relation that satisfies a given predicate (condition). SELECT operation is
denoted using the lower case letter sigma (σ). The general format of select operation is
σcondition (Relation)
2. PROJECT operation
It selects some attributes from the table and forms a new relation. It is denoted by the lower case letter π.
The general format of project operation is
π A1,A2,….An (Relation) Here A1,A2 … are attributes in the relation.
3. UNION operation
It is a binary operation. It returns a relation containing all tuples appearing in either or both of the two
relations. It is denoted by U. The two relations must be union compatible.
E.g. If A = { a, b, c, d } and B = { c, d, e, f }, Then AUB = { a, b, c, d, e, f}
