CH13: DATABASE CONCEPTS-FILL IN THE BLANKS

II PU COMPUTER SCIENCE(41)
1) Data is a collection of facts, figures, statistics
2) Information is processed data with some definite meaning
3) A collection of logically related data organized in way that data can be easily accessed and
updated is called database
4) A single entry(row) in a table is called the Records
5) Records are also called the tuple
6) Each column is identified by a distinct header called attributes
7) Set of values for an attribute in that column is called Domain
8)A DBMS is a software that allow creation, definition, and manipulation of data base.
9) Data abstraction is a process of hiding unwanted or irrelevant details from the end user.
10) Database independence is an ability of a database to modify a schema definition at one
level without affecting a schema in the next higher level.
11)Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database
12) The process of applying a data model theory to create a data model instance is known as
Data Modelling
13)Database architecture is logically divided into 3 types.
14) An entity can be any object, place, person, or class
15) An attribute describes a property or characteristics of an entity
16) An relationship describes relation between entities
17) Primary key is a key that uniquely identifies each record in a table
18) The process of sharing data stored in database is data sharing among multiple users
19) Data mining is a process of analysing and picking out relevant information from data
20) Data about data is metadata
21) Domain is a set of values for an attribute in a column
22) An entity in a table is a record/row
23) Process of extracting knowledge from collected data is called data mining
24) Data warehouse is a repository of an organization electronically stored data
25) Database model describes how the data is represented and used.
26) Generalization combines two lower-level entity to from higher level entity
27) Records are stored in chronological order in sequential file organization
28) cardinality refers to the minimum number of relationship in an entity.
29) The duplication of data is called data redundancy
30)A relation is a table that consists of rows(records) and columns(attributes)
31) Data mining is extracting the information from the large volume of data
32)DBMS is a software used for creating and managing the database
33) External level is called the view level in 3-schema architecture
34) Physical level is called the logical level
35) Internal level is called the
36) Validity and accuracy of data is referred as data integrity
37)The ability to modify a schema definition at one level without affecting the schema
definition at another level is called data independence
38) Data mining is discovery of knowledge from the large volume of data
39) ISAM combines the best features of sequential and direct access
40) Conversion of data into information is called data processing
41) Processed data is called Information
42) Collection of raw facts, figures, statistics is called Data
43) In 1-tier architecture user directly interacts with the database
44) The structure of database is called as schema
45) Primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table
46) Protection of data is the security
47) Diamond is the symbol used to represent relationship in E-R diagram
48) Rectangle is the symbol used to represent entity in ER diagram
49) Ellipse/Eclipse/Oval is the symbol used to represent attributes in ER diagram
50) Information is processed data with some definite meaning or
Information is a processed data
51) Example for popular DBMS is a MySQL/SQL Server
52) File is basic unit of storage in computer system
53) The data model organizes that data in the form the tree is Hierarchical model
54) The data model organizes that data in the form the graph is Network model
55) In relational model data is organized in table
