Part – B (4 x 4 = 16 Marks) Instructions: Answer ANY FOUR questions

Q. No Question Marks BL CO PO PI
Code
11 Compare strong and weak entity with an example. 4 3 2 2 2.7.2
Strong Entity:
A strong entity is not dependent on any other entity in the schema. A
strong entity will always have a primary key. Strong entities are
represented by a single rectangle. The relationship of two strong entities
is represented by a single diamond.
Weak Entity:
A weak entity is dependent on a strong entity to ensure its existence.
Unlike a strong entity, a weak entity does not have any primary key. It
instead has a partial discriminator key. A weak entity is represented by a
double rectangle.

12 Define entity set and relationship set 4 3 2 1 1.6.1

 An entity refers to any object having-
Either a physical existence such as a particular person, office, house or
car.
Conceptual existence such as a school, a university, a company or a job.

 A relationship set is a set of relationships of same type.

13 Create a view from the table Employee to display the names of employee 4 3 2 2 2.6.1
who are all coming from the city ‘Chennai’.

Create view view_name as select name from employee where city =

‘Chennai’.

14 You are appointed as a Project head and in need of granting database 4 3 4 2 2.6.1
privileges to a user. Write the SQL queries to
I. Grant the user system privilege to log into the “project” database
to give all permissions. (2marks)

GRANT ALL
ON PROJECT
TO OTHER_USER;

II. Revoke all privilges from the user.(2 marks)

REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES FROM OTHER_USER;
15 Given below are the two tables, Table1(id,name) and Table2(id,city). 4 3 4 2 2.6.1
Table 1 Table 2

Write the query and result of cross

join and natural join operation.

cross join:

select *from t1 cross join t2;

 Natural join:

select *from t1 natural join t2;
