Database Management System Class 10
Questions and Answers
Session 1: Appreciate Concept of Database
Management System
1. What is a database?

Answer – A database is an organized collection of data. Databases

can store, retrieve and manage large amounts of data. The database
stores the information in the form of a table.

2. What is the purpose of a Database Management System?

Answer – A database management system (DBMS) is a software

package which manages and maintains data in a database. A
DBMS enables several user application programs to access the
same database at the same time. It enables organizations to easily
create databases for a variety of purposes. A database is a
comprehensive collection of data records, files, and other items.

3. How is data organized in a database?

Answer – There are two way to organized data in database –

a. Flat File – It stores the data in a single table and it is suitable for

Page 1 of 19
small amounts of data.
b. Relational – It stores the data in a multiple table and all the
tables are connected to each other using a common field with the
help of relationships.

4. What do you mean by Database Servers?

Answer – Database servers are powerful computers that store and

manage data on a server. This type of server is dedicated to a single
purpose and helps to hold the database and run only DBMS and
related software.

5. Give the Advantages of database?

Answer – Advantages of database are –

a. Reduce Data Redundancy – When the same data set is stored

in two or more locations, this is referred to as data redundancy. As
a result, this helps in the protection of duplicate data in a database.

b. Sharing of Data – Databases can share the data with multiple

users at a time. There are multiple levels of authorization to access
the data, and as a result, the data can only be shared with those who
are permitted.

c. Data Integrity – The term “data integrity” refers to the accuracy

and consistency of the data in the database. Data integrity also
refers to data safety.

d. Data Security – You know that data is very important, databases

give privileges to authorized users and allow them to access the
database using username and password.

e. Privacy – A database’s privacy rule says that only authorized

users are permitted to access the database in accordance with its
privacy constraints. For example – if you log in your Gmail
account then you will see your email only, you will not see any
other account email.

f. Backup and Recovery – Backup and recovery are handled

automatically by the Database Management System.

automatically by the Database Management System.

g. Data Consistency – Data consistency ensures the modification

in the data will be the same for all the users who are accessing the
database. For example if you have registered a train ticket from
IRCTC website then whatever changes are there it will be the same
for all the users who are trying to reserve the ticket.

Database Management System Class 10 Questions and Answers

6. What are the key features of a database?

Answer – Some of the key features of database are –

a. Multiple table can be store in a single database
b. Database can share the data to multiple users
c. Database can create backups automatically
d. Database save storage space
e. Large amount of data can be managed by database
f. Each table in a database contains separate information
g. Provides high level security

7. What is RDBMS?

Answer – RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management

System is an upgraded version of DBMS, RDBMS stores the data
in the form of a table. In RDBMS multiple tables can be linked
together, and support multiple users to access the database.

8. What different types of keys are available in RDBMS?

Answer – The different keys available in RDBMS are –

a. Primary Key (PK) – A primary key is a unique value that

identifies a row in a table. If the primary key is defined to any table
column it means the duplication will be not allowed.

b. Composite Primary Key – When a primary key is applied to

one or more columns in the same table is known as Composite
Primary Key.

Page 3 of 19
c. Foreign Key (FK) – By default columns are foreign key, foreign
key points to the primary key of another table.

Database Management System Class 10 Questions and Answers

Session 2: Create and Edit tables using

wizard & SQL commands
9. What are the different database objects?

Answer –
a. Table – A table is a collection of data components structured in
the form of vertical columns and horizontal rows.

b. Columns / Fields / Attributes – Columns or Fields or Attributes

all are the same, A column is a collection of data values of a single
data type, one for each row in a table. It is also known as the
heading of the column.

c. Rows / Records / Tuples – A row, also known as a Record or

Tuple, is a single data item in a table. A database table can be
represented as a series of rows and columns or fields. Each row in a
table represents a set of related data, and each row has the same
structure.

10. What are data types?

Answer – Datatypes are used to define the type of data that will be
stored in the database. Data types in the OpenOffice base are
classified into five types.

Page 6 of 19
18. How many types of relationships can be created in Base?
Explain each of the them.

Answer – There are three types of relationships –

a. One to One – Both tables in this relationship must have primary
key columns.
b. One to Many or Many to One – One of the tables in this
relationship must have a primary key column.
c. Many to Many – The primary key column is not present in any
of the tables in this relationship.

19. What do you mean by Sorting? In how many ways it can be

done?

Answer – Sorting means arranging the data in ascending or

descending order.
The two way to arranging the data is –
a. Ascending
b. Descending

20. Explain Referential Integrity with the help of an example.

Answer – Referential integrity is used to keep data maintained,

accurate and consistent.

Data in Base can be connected between two or more tables using

primary key and foreign key constraints.
For example – Suppose there is two table “Student_details” and
“fee_details”,

in the student_detils table fields are –

Grno, Student_name, Address, phone_number ( here Grno is
primary key)

In the Fee_details table fields are –

Grno, Fee_date, Amount (here Grno is foregn key)

Here, both have a common field “Grno” this is known as

referential Integrity.
