shopping list to a photo gallery or a location to store the enormous volumes of information in a business network
may be it.
2. Mention features of a DBMS.

 Minimum Redundancy and Duplication. …
 Usage Of Query Languages. …
 Multi User Access. …
 Reduced amount of space and money spent on storage. …
 Data Organization. …
 Customization of the Database. …
 Data Retrieval. …
 Data Integrity is Maintained.

3. What is the difference between DBMS and RDBMS?

Answer – Database Management System is referred to as DBMS, and Relational Database Management System is
referred to as RDBMS. Unlike RDBMS, which stores data in the form of tables, DBMS stores data as a file.

5. How is Primary Key different from Candidate Key?

Answer – A record in a table is uniquely identified by its primary key, which must be both unique and non-null.
There can only be one primary key per table. A candidate key can be used in conjunction with a primary key to
uniquely identify records in a table.

6. Define the key(s) used in MySQL.

Answer – There are four different types of Keys –
a. Primary Key – The group of one or more columns used to uniquely identify each row of a relation is called its
Primary Key.
b. Cndidate Key – A column or a group of columns which can be used as the primary key of a relation is called a
Candidate key because it is one of the candidates available to be the primary key of the relation.
c. Alternate Key – A candidate key of a table which is not selected as the primary key is called its Alternate Key.
d. Foreign Key – A primary key of a base table when used in some other table is called as Foriegn Key.

7. State the similarity and difference between the Primary Key, Candidate Key, Alternate Key and Foreign
Key
Answer –
a. Primary Key – The group of one or more columns used to uniquely identify each row of a relation is called its
Primary Key.
b. Cndidate Key – A column or a group of columns which can be used as the primary key of a relation is called a
Candidate key because it is one of the candidates available to be the primary key of the relation.
c. Alternate Key – A candidate key of a table which is not selected as the primary key is called its Alternate Key.
d. Foreign Key – A primary key of a base table when used in some other table is called as Foriegn Key.

8. Which statement is used to select a database and make it current?

Answer – To choose data from a database, use the SELECT statement. The information received is kept in a result
table known as the result-set.
 9. How is a database related to table(s)?
Answer – In databases, a table is a collection of data elements (values) organised using a model of vertical columns
(named) and horizontal rows, with a cell serving as the intersection of a row and a column. A table can have any
number of rows but only a certain number of columns.

10. Write SQL statement to view names of all the tables contained in the current database.
Answer – To display all the table in database –
SQL> SHOW TABLES;

11. In a database there is a table Cabinet. The data entry operator is not able to put NULL in a column of
Cabinet? What may be the possible reason(s)?
Answer – The data entry operator cannot enter duplicate values in a column of a cabinet; this is likely because the
column contains a primary key.

12. Do Primary Key column(s) of a table accept NULL values?

Answer – Primary Key column does not support NULL Values.

relations, tables, constraints, or the whole schema.

19. How many types of language are there in the database?

database.
Common DDL commands are
a. Create – This command is used to create database
b. Alter – This command is used to modify the database.
c. Drop – This command is used to delete database tables.
