    1. What is RDBMS?
    Relational Data Base Management Systems (RDBMS) are database management systems that maintain
    data records and indices in tables. Relationships may be created and maintained across and among the
    data and tables. In a relational database, relationships between data items are expressed by means of
    tables. Interdependencies among these tables are expressed by data values rather than by pointers. This
    allows a high degree of data independence. An RDBMS has the capability to recombine the data items
    from different files, providing powerful tools for data usage.

    2. What are the properties of the Relational tables?


    Relational tables have six properties:
    1. Values are atomic.
    2. Column values are of the same kind.
    3. Each row is unique.
    4. The sequence of columns is insignificant.
    5. The sequence of rows is insignificant.
    6. Each column must have a unique name.
    3. What is Normalization?
    Database normalization is a data design and organization process applied to data structures based on rules
    that help building relational databases. In relational database design, the process of organizing data to
    minimize redundancy is called normalization. Normalization usually involves dividing a database into two
    or more tables and defining relationships between the tables. The objective is to isolate data so that
    additions, deletions, and modifications of a field can be made in just one table and then propagated
    through the rest of the database via the defined relationships.
    4. What is De-normalization?
    De-normalization is the process of attempting to optimize the performance of a database by adding
    redundant data. It is sometimes necessary because current DBMSs implement the relational model poorly.
    A true relational DBMS would allow for a fully normalized database at the logical level, while providing
    physical storage of data that is tuned for high performance. De-normalization is a technique to move from
    higher to lower normal forms of database modeling in order to speed up database access.
    5. What are different normalization forms?
    1. 1NF: Eliminate Repeating Groups Make a separate table for each set of related attributes, and
    give each table a primary key. Each field contains at most one value from its attribute domain.
    2. 2NF: Eliminate Redundant Data If an attribute depends on only part of a multi-valued key,
    remove it to a separate table.
    3. 3NF: Eliminate Columns Not Dependent On Key If attributes do not contribute to a description
    of the key, remove them to a separate table. All attributes must be directly dependent on the primary
    key.
    4. BCNF: Boyce-Codd Normal Form If there are non-trivial dependencies between candidate key
    attributes, separate them out into distinct tables.
    5. 4NF: Isolate Independent Multiple Relationships No table may contain two or more 1:n or n:m
    relationships that are not directly related.
    6. 5NF: Isolate Semantically Related Multiple Relationships There may be practical constrains on
    information that justify separating logically related many-to-many relationships.
    7. ONF: Optimal Normal Form A model limited to only simple (elemental) facts, as expressed in
    Object Role Model notation.
    8. DKNF: Domain-Key Normal Form A model free from all modification anomalies is said to be in
    DKNF.
    Remember, these normalization guidelines are cumulative. For a database to be in 3NF, it must first fulfill
    all the criteria of a 2NF and 1NF database.
    6. What is Stored Procedure?
    A stored procedure is a named group of SQL statements that have been previously created and stored in
    the server database. Stored procedures accept input parameters so that a single procedure can be used over
    the network by several clients using different input data. And when the procedure is modified, all clients
    automatically get the new version. Stored procedures reduce network traffic and improve performance.
    Stored procedures can be used to help ensure the integrity of the database.

    e.g. sp_helpdb, sp_renamedb, sp_depends etc.
