c) What are the two classes of database languages are? Give one example each of
procedural and non-procedural language (1.5+1.5+2+1+1+1.5+1.5)
d) Who are the different types of DB users? Give two functions of DBA
Q2 a) Give an example of derived attribute. Define mapping cardinalities (No details).

Explain through example giving proper E-R diagrams.
c) Explain any one of the extended E-R features. (1+2+4+3)

 Query: Find all customers of the bank who have an account but not a loan by writing in relational
algebra expressions.
 Query: Find the names of all bank customers who have either an account or a loan or both
 Query: Find those customers who live in Harrison.
 Query: Find all tuples in which the amount lent is more than $1200 (3+3+4)
The DB Schema is as follows:
Branch-schema = (branch-name, branch-city, assets)
Customer-schema = (customer-name, customer-street, customer-city)
Loan-schema = (branch-name, loan-number, amount)
Borrower-schema = (customer-name, loan-number)
Account-schema = (account-number, branch-name, balance)
Depositor-schema= (customer-name, account-number
