Question Set 1 On Rdbms

This document contains 29 multiple choice and short answer questions about relational database management systems (RDBMS) concepts including: 1) Normal forms and converting composite attributes to individual attributes in 1NF. 2) The definition of a key as a group of one or more attributes that uniquely identify a row. 3) Referential integrity constraints and how they require foreign key values to exist in another table. 4) Questions cover the different normal forms and their properties including BCNF, dependency preservation and transitive dependencies. Additional questions cover SQL queries to retrieve, filter, and manipulate data from tables in a database as well as database design concepts like three-tier architectures.
