SUBJECT CODE & NAME- MI0034- DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Q1. Suppose the employee name, employee id, designation, salary, attendance and
address of any employee has to be stored in a database. You can store these data in a
sequential address book or it can be stored on a hard disk, using a computer and
software like Microsoft Excel. Using this example define a database. List and explain
the various procedures carried on in a DBMS with a detailed example of the database.
(Defining a database- 1 mark, listing the 3 procedures –3 marks, explanation- 3 marks,
one examples for each of them - 3 marks)
Answer.
DBMS
A DBMS is a complex set of software programs that controls the organization, storage and retrieval of data in a
database.
Procedures
Q2. Level 2 cache has got higher latency than Level 1 by 2 times to 10 times in 512 KiB
or more. Its value is nearer to kilobyte. This is one of the levels of memory hierarchy.
Define memory hierarchy. What are the other levels in memory hierarchy? Explain in
one life each for each of them. (defining memory hierarchy- 1 mark, listing the 6 levels
-3 marks, explanation- 6 marks) 10 marks
Answer.
2. Memory hierarchy: It is used in the theory of computation when discussing performance issues in
computerarchitectural design, algorithm predictions, and the lower level programming constructs
such as involvinglocalityof reference.A 'memoryhierarchy'in computerstorage distinguishes each
level in the 'hierarchy' by response time. Since response time, comp

3. Q4. Consider a book is written by a particular author. And you have to explain to some
one the relationship that exists between the author and the book. Normally you can
draw a diagram and show the relation. These diagrams are called entity-relationship
diagram in which book is one entity, author is one entity, and the relationship that
exists between the two entities is written. Likewiseexplain the various notations used
to represent the ER diagram. (Listing the notations with diagrams – 5 marks, explaining
each one of them in one line with example each-5 marks )
Answer:
The symbols used to design an ER diagram are shown.
Q5. Consider any database of your choice (may be simple banking
database/forecasting database/project management database). Show the deduction
of the tables in your database to the different types of normal forms
(Choosing a proper database-2 marks, Explaining the 5 normal forms with respect to
the database chosen-8 marks) 10 marks
Answer.
Normal forms Based on Primary Keys
A relation schema R is in first normal form if every attributeof R takes only single atomic
values. We can also define it as intersection of each row and column containing one and
only one value. To transform the un-normalized table (a table that contains one or mo
Q6. Read the following case study thoroughly and answer the following questions:
Laxmi bank is one of the largest private sector banks of India. It has an extensive
network of more than 200 branches. It offers banking services to retail as well as
corporate clients. The bank faced a challenge in integrating multi-pronged database
management system into a centralized system. The IT department of the bank also
realized that the computing capabilities of its PCs and servers were not
proportionately distributed among all its branches. Each branch had its database
management system stored in a traditional way on the disk. The total cost of
operating and maintaining the current IT infrastructure was very high and the
fundamental shortcomings added to the costs. Moreover, there were also recurrent
problems due to the malfunctioning of the currently operational database
management system. Therefore, the bank’s top management decided to fix the
problem and operationalise a robust database management system.The bank hired an
external database technology consulting firm called AKPY Info systems Limited.
AKPY divided the entire IT infrastructure of the bank around two verticals. The retail
banking vertical and the corporate banking vertical. All the individual database servers
from the individual branches were removed. The entire database system was made
4. virtual such that the managers and the staff can access only the required information
(related to retail banking or corporate banking) from the respective centralized data
centers. There wereonly two such centralized data centers (one for retail banking and
another for corporate banking) that were managed centrally. Staff and managers
could access the information through their PCs and laptops. Centralized database
management system complemented the security systemby bringing in authentication
through a unified ID management server. Managersand officers of the bank were able
to process half a million transactions per month in real time after the new
implementation. There were significant savings in the cost and also in the
consumption of power. Now there wereno problems with regard to imbalances in the
load across various network servers. Due to centralized data management, top
management could keep an eye on the functioning of various branches. Hence the
cases of fraud and cheating reduced considerably. The bank managers could also
process the loan applications in reduced time since the customer’s previous records
could be accessed at the click of the button and approval from the higher authorities
could be obtained in real time. Moreover the new system also brought in many
applications that helped local managers in the decision making process.
a. List the uses of centralized data management
b. What steps Laxmi bank need to take if it were to change its centralised database
system to a distributed database system in future?
(a. Listing the uses from the from the case study-2 marks, b. Explaining about data
fragmentation, replication and allocation techniques-6 marks, c. Is it possible to
replicate the centralised database management model of the bank-2 marks) 10 marks
Answer.
a) Uses of centralized data management
A centralized database is a database located and maintained in one location, unlike a
distributed database. One main advantage is that all data is located in one place. A
centralized data management system can be use as:

banking) that weremanaged centrally. Staff and managers could access the information
through their PCs and laptop
