Total Hours: 42

I.A. Marks: 25
Exam Hours: 03
Exam Marks: 50

1. Consider the following relations:


Student (snum: integer, sname: string, major: string, level: string, age: integer)
Class (name: string, meets at: string, room: string, d: integer)
Enrolled (snum: integer, cname: string)
Faculty (fid: integer, fname: string, deptid: integer)
The meaning of these relations is straightforward; for example, Enrolled has one record per student-class
pair such that the student is enrolled in the class. Level is a two character code with 4 different values
(example: Junior: JR etc)
Write the following queries in SQL. No duplicates should be printed in any of the answers.
i. Find the names of all Juniors (level = JR) who are enrolled in a class taught by Prof. Harshith
ii. Find the names of all classes that either meet in room R128 or have five or more Students
enrolled.
iii. Find the names of all students who are enrolled in two classes that meet at the same time.
iv. Find the names of faculty members who teach in every room in which some class is taught.
v. Find the names of faculty members for whom the combined enrollment of the courses that they

Departs: time, arrives: time, price: real)
Aircraft (aid: integer, aname: string, cruisingrange: integer)
Certified (eid: integer, aid: integer)
Employees (eid: integer, ename: string, salary: integer)
Note that the Employees relation describes pilots and other kinds of employees as well; Every pilot is
certified for some aircraft, and only pilots are certified to fly.

Introduction to Database

Database: - A group of tables with related data in them are called database.
Database Management System: - DBMS consists of a collection of interrelated data and a set of
programs to manage these data.
Data Model:- Structure of database is defined by data model. Different data model are as follows:
E R model
Object Oriented model
Relational model
Network model
Hierarchical model
Relational model:Relational model uses a collection of tables to represent both data and relationship among those
tables. Most database management systems are based on the relational model. RDBMS follows
codds rules. There are 12 rules specified by E.F. Codd that must be satisfied by adatabase package
for being an RDBMS. The DBMS packages that fall in this category are as follows:
Oracle ( follows 7 rules )
DB2 ( follows 9 rules )
Ingress ( follows 10 rules )
Sybase ( follows 9 rules )
Unity
Etc
SQL BASICS
Structured Query Language (SQL), which is an ANSI standard language for interacting with
relational databases, is the main tool for extracting the information. A database is a representation
of a real-world thing called an Entity. Examples of entities are vehicles, employees, customers, fish,
buildings, and even things such as baseball teams. The database stores facts about the entity in an
organized framework, model, or schema. These facts are called attributes. An Instance is one
occurrence of an entity. Each entity must have an identifier, which is one or more attributes that
make each entity instance unique from any other instance. The identifier should contain a value
that does not change. Examples of identifiers are student IDs, payroll numbers, or social security
numbers. If the entity does not have an attribute that can be used as an identifier, an artificial
identifier can be created. The identifier on an entity is often called a primary key. A foreign key is a
set of attributes of the considered table that exists as a primary key attributes in another table.
Database records are matched (joined) through the use of primary and foreign keys.
Normalization is a process consisting of series of steps, which is used to group the database
attributes. The purpose of this design is to ensure that the tables within the database are space
efficient and performance efficient.
Zero Normal Formeach of the relations (tables) has a unique identifier (primary key).
First Normal FormSeparate the repeating groups of attributes or multivalued attributes into a
relation of their own. Be sure to form composite keys.
Second Normal FormEstablish full functional dependency by separating out attributes that are
not fully dependent on the full primary keys.
Third Normal FormRemove transitive dependencies by separating attributes that are dependent
on a non key attribute.
HOW SQL WORKS

Dept of CSE, AIT

Database Applications Lab Manual

5th CSE

The purpose of SQL is to interface to a relational database such as Oracle, and all SQL statements
are instructions to the databases SQL provides commands for a variety of tasks including:
Querying data
Inserting, updating, and deleting rows in a table
Creating, replacing, altering, and dropping objects
Controlling access to the database and its objects
Guaranteeing database consistency and integrity
DATATYPES
Each literal or column value manipulated by Oracle has a datatype. A values datatype associates a
fixed set of properties with the value. These properties cause Oracle to treat values of one
datatypes differently values of another.
Character Datatypes:- Character datatypes are used to manipulate words and freeform text. These
datatypes are used to store character. These datatypes are used for character data:
CHAR:- The CHAR datatype specifies a fixed length character is 1 character and
maximum allowed is 2000 character.
NCHAR:- The NCHAR datatypes specifies a fixed-length national character set
character string. The maximum column size allowed is 2000 bytes.
NVARCHAR2:- The NVARCHAR2 datatype specifies variable-length national
character string. The maximum column size allowed is 4000 bytes.
VARCHAR2:- The VARCHAR2 datatype specifies a variable length character string.
The maximum length of VARCHAR2 data is 4000 bytes.
NUMBER DATATYPES:- The NUMBER datatype is used to store zero, positive and negative fixed
and floating point numbers with magnitudes
Floating Point Numbers:- A floating point value either can have a decimal point
anywhere from the first to the last digit or can omit the decimal point altogether.
LONG Datatype:- LONG columns store variable length variable length character
strings containing up to 2 gigabytes, or 231 -1 bytes. LONG data type is subject to
some restrictions which are:
A table cannot contain more than one LONG column. LONG columns cannot appear in integrity
constraints. LONG columns cannot be indexed. Also, LONG columns cannot appear in certain
parts of SQL statements:
WHERE, GROUP BY, or CONNECT BY clause or with the DISTINCT operator in
SELECT statements
UNIQUE clause of a SELECT statement
Select list of queries containing GROUP BY clauses
Select list of subqueries or queries combined by set operators
DATE Data types:- The DATE data types is used to store date and time information.
Operators:- All the normal Arithmetic, Relational, Logical operators are used in SQL.
SQL Commands:- in order to define schemas, store data, retrieve data and to make amendments in
schema and data stored in the database different types of commands are used which are:
Data Definition Language Commands.
Data Manipulation Language Commands
Transaction Control Commands
Session Control Commands
System Control Commands
Data Definition Language (DDL) commands allow you to perform these tasks:

Create, alter, and drop schema objects


Brant and revoke privileges and roles
Analyses information on a table, index, or cluster
Establish auditing options
Add comments to the data dictionary
Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands query and manipulate data in existing schema
objects. These commands do not implicitly commit the current transaction. Following are the
commands:
Select
Insert
Delete
Update
Lock table
Explain Plan
Aggregate
Function
Aggregate functions return a single value based upon a set of other values. If used
among many other expressions in the item list of a SELECT statement, the SELECT must have a
GROUP BY clause. No GROUP BY clause is required if the aggregate function is the only value
retrieved by the SELECT statement. The supported aggregate functions and their syntax are
shown in table 6.3

SQL99 Aggregate Functions


Usage
Computes the average value of a column by the expression
Counts the rows defined by the expression
Counts all rows in the specified table or view
Finds the minimum value in a column by the expression
Finds the maximum value in a column by the expression
Computes the sum of column values by the expression
The general syntax of an aggregate function is:
aggregate_function_name ( [ALL | DISTINCT] expression )
The aggregate function name may be AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN, or SUM. The ALL clause, which
is the default behavior and does not actually need to be specified, evaluates all rows when
aggregating the value of the function. The DISTINCT clause uses only distinct values when
evaluating the function.
AVG and SUM
The AVG function computes the average of values in a column or an expression. SUM computes
the sum. Both functions work with numeric values and ignore NULL values. They also can be used
to compute the average or sum of all distinct values of a column or expression. AVG and SUM are
supported by Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.
Example
The following query computes average year-to-date sales for each type of book:
SELECT type, AVG( ytd_sales ) AS "average_ytd_sales"
FROM titles
Dept of CSE, AIT

Database Applications Lab Manual

5th CSE

GROUP BY type;
This query returns the sum of year-to-date sales for each type of book:
SELECT type, SUM( ytd_sales )
FROM titles
GROUP BY type;
COUNT
The COUNT function has three variations. COUNT(*) counts all the rows in the target table
whether they include nulls or not. COUNT(expression) computes the number of rows with nonNULL values in a specific column or expression. COUNT(DISTINCT expression) computes the
number of distinct non-NULL values in a column or expression.
Examples
This query counts all rows in a table:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM publishers;
The following query finds the number of different countries where publishers are located:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT country) "Count of Countries" FROM publishers
MIN and MAX
MIN(expression) and MAX(expression) find the minimum and maximum value (string, datetime,
or numeric) in a set of rows. DISTINCT or ALL may be used with these functions, but they do not
affect the result. MIN and MAX are supported by Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and
PostgreSQL. MySQL also supports the functions LEAST( ) and GREATEST( ), providing the same
capabilities.
Examples
The following query finds the best and worst sales for any title on record:
SELECT 'MIN' = MIN(ytd_sales), 'MAX' = MAX(ytd_sales)
FROM titles;
Aggregate functions are used often in the HAVING clause of queries with GROUP BY. The
following query selects all categories (types) of books that have an average price for all books in
the category higher than $15.00:
SELECT type 'Category', AVG( price ) 'Average Price'
FROM titles
GROUP BY type
HAVING AVG(price) > 15
CONCATENATE
SQL99 defines a concatenation operator ( || ), which joins two distinct strings into one string value.
The CONCATENATE function appends two or more strings together, producing a single output
string. PostgreSQL and Oracle support the double-pipe concatenation operator. Microsoft SQL
Server uses the plus sign (+) concatenation operator.
MySQL supports a similar function, CONCAT( ). Refer to the "Concatenation Operators" section
Chapter 3, SQL Statements Command Reference, for more information on concatenation within
Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.
SQL99 Syntax
CONCATENATE('string1' || 'string2')
Transaction Control Commands manages change made by Data Manipulation Language
commands. Following are the commands:
Commit
Rollback
Save point
Set Transaction
SQL * Plus

Dept of CSE, AIT

Database Applications Lab Manual

5th CSE

SQL *Plus enables you to manipulate SQL commands and PL/SQL blocks, and to perform many
additional tasks as well. Through SQL *Plus, you can

Enter, edit, store, retrieve, and SQL commands and PL/SQL blocks
Format, perform calculations on, store, and print query results in the form of reports
List column definitions for any table
Access and copy data between SQL databases
Send messages to and accept responses from an end user

Oracle Overview
Oracle is one the most popular Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Some other
famous RDBMS includes Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. Essentially, all
the aforementioned RDBMS employs Structural Query Language (SQL) as their query interface.
Users usually issue their queries by SQL through a "client". Different RDBMS offer different
forms of clients. For example, MS SQL Server offers a GUI interface for user to type in their SQL
language, and their queries would be executed after pressing the "Execute" button on the client.
Oracle provides both GUI client and command-line client. In this lesson, we will study the
command-line client, SQL*Plus. In addition, Oracle extends the standard SQL (e.g. select * from
table) with its application-specific commands (e.g. checking how many table you have been created
in your Oracle account) into a Oracle specific language called PL/SQL. In this tutorial, you will
interact with Oracle database, thru SQL*Plus, by issuing a number of PL/SQL queries.
Logging In to Oracle
Microsoft Windows
Under Windows environment, the Oracle client is called SQL*Plus.
Steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type sqlplus, and fill in the username, password, and database name
3. After you log in to SQL*Plus, you see the following message:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.1.7.0.0 - Production
JServer Release 9.1.7.0.0 - Production
and you should receive the prompt:
Creating user:
Create user <yourName> identified by <Password>;
where <yourName> is again your login name, and <Password> is the password you would like to
use in the future. This command, like all other SQL commands, should be terminated with a
semicolon.
Changing Your Password
In response to the SQL> prompt, type
alter user <yourName> identified by <newPassword>;
where <yourName> is again your login name, and <newPassword> is the password you would like
to use in the future. This command, like all other SQL commands, should be terminated with a
semicolon.
Creating Tables
In SQL*Plus we can execute any SQL command. One simple type of command creates a table
(relation). The form is
CREATE TABLE <tableName> (
<list of attributes and their types>
);

Dept of CSE, AIT

5th CSE

Database Applications Lab Manual

You may enter text on one line or on several lines. If your command runs over several lines, you
will be prompted with line numbers until you type the semicolon that ends any command.
(Warning: An empty line terminates the command but does not execute it; see editing commands
in the buffer.) An example table-creation command is:
CREATE TABLE test (
i int, s char(10)
);
Note that SQL is case insensitive, so CREATE TABLE TEST and create table test are the same.
This command creates a table named test with two attributes. The first attribute, named i, is an
integer, and the second, named s, is a character string of length (up to) 10.
Exercise 1: Create a relation Student that suitable for the following instance:

Inserting Tuples
Having created a table, we can insert tuples into it. The simplest way to insert is with the INSERT
command:
INSERT INTO <tableName> VALUES( <list of values for attributes, in order> );
For instance, we can insert the tuple (10, 'hi world') into relation test by
INSERT INTO test VALUES(10, 'hi world');
Exercise 2: Insert the records as stated into Exercise 1 into the student table. Trick: Try to insert a record
into test with the following SQL:
INSERT INTO test VALUES(11, 'ha 'world');
Updating Tuples
Tuples can be updated by the UPDATE command:
UPDATE <tableName> SET <Attribute>=<Expression/Value> WHERE <Predicate>;
For example, we can update the tuple (10, 'hi world') in relation test by
UPDATE test SET s='bye world' WHERE i=10;
Exercise 3: Update the record of 'Eric Lo' in relation Student such that his salary change to 1234
Deleting Tuples
Having insert / update a tuple, we can delete it as well. The simplest way to delete is with the
DELETE command:
DELETE FROM <tableName> [WHERE <condition>];
<condition> is an optional statement and is used to identify a single record when necessary.
For example, you can delete the record with i=10 in table test with the the following SQL:
DELETE FROM test WHERE i=10;
Exercise 4: Delete the record of 'Eric Lo' in relation Student.
Trick: Does that record really deleted successfully? Let's check it out by using SELECT command
(we will cover it in next section).
Retrieving Tuples
We can see the tuples in a relation with the command:
SELECT <attributes-separated-by-comma>/<wildcard> FROM <tableName>;
For instance, after the above CREATE, INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE statements, the
command

produces the result


I
S
---------- ---------11
ha 'world

Exercise 5: Select ALL records from relation Student.


Question: Do data values also case insensitive? i.e., can a student with name "Hammer" be
retrieved by the following SQL or not?
SeLecT name from StudenT where name ='hammer';
Let's check it out by yourself!
Trick: Does the record of 'Eric Lo' exist when you do exercise 5? If yes, congratulation! You
"seems" that you have deleted that tuple successfully... Now, please open a new SQL*Plus, and
redo exercise 5 to see if the record 'Eric Lo' still be there? What happen?
Commit and Rollback
An automatic commit occurs under the following circumstance: DDL statement is issued . Normal
exit from SQL*Plus, without explicitly issuing COMMIT or ROLLBACK . An automatic rollback
occurs under an abnormal termination of SQL*Plus or a system failure. It provides a good backdoor for you to revert the changes you have done on the data. Therefore, unless you have issued
COMMIT, the changed data would not be visible to any other session except your own.
Conversely, you can rollback all the changes by issuing the ROLLBACK command.
Exercise 6: Issue the COMMIT command in the SQL*Plus that you have done insert/delete/update
before, and see if the effects is now visible by the new SQL*Plus?
Dropping Tables
To remove a table from your database, execute DROP TABLE <tableName>;
We suggest you execute
DROP TABLE test;
Caution: Table dropping is a DML statement, which is an action that you cannot rollback. Since
dropping a table will also delete all data in that table, issue the DROP TABLE command with
cares.
Getting Information About Your Database
The system keeps information about your own database in certain system tables. The most
important for now is USER_TABLES. You can recall the names of your tables by issuing the
query:
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES;
More information about your tables is available from USER_TABLES. To see all the attributes of
USER_TABLES, try:
SELECT * FROM USER_TABLES;
It is also possible to recall the attributes of a table once you know its name. Issue the command:
DESCRIBE <tableName>;
to view the schema of <tableName>;
Data Types
Here is part of the data types that are supported by Oracle.
Data Type

Description

VARCHAR2
(size)

Variable-length character data (a maximum size must be specified:


Minimum size is 1; maximum size is 4000)

CHAR

and constraints.
28. What is E-R model?
Answer: This data model is based on real world that consists of basic objects called entities and
of relationship among these objects. Entities are described in a database by a set of attributes.
29. What is Object Oriented model?
Answer: This model is based on collection of objects. An object contains values stored in
instance variables within the object. An object also contains bodies of code that operate on the
object. These bodies of code are called methods. Objects that contain same types of values and
the same methods are grouped together into classes.
30. What is primary key?
31. What is foreign key?
32. What is unique key?
33. What is candidate key?
34. What is composite primary key?
35. What is super key?
36. What is secondary key (alternate key)?
37. What is database trigger?
38. What is a view? How it is related to data independence?
Answer: A view may be thought of as a virtual table, that is, a table that does not really exist in
its own right but is instead derived from one or more underlying base table. In other words, there
is no stored file that direct represents the view instead a definition of view is stored in data
dictionary.
Growth and restructuring of base tables is not reflected in views. Thus the view can
insulate users from the effects of restructuring and growth in the database. Hence accounts for
logical data independence.
39. What is aggregation?
Answer: Selecting the data in group of records is called aggregation. There are five aggregate
system functions they are viz. Sum, Min, Max, Avg, Count.

40. What is decomposition?


Answer: Selecting all data without any grouping and aggregate functions is called
Decomposition. The data is selected, as it is present in the table.
41. What is indexing and what are the different kinds of indexing?
Answer: Indexing is a technique for determining how quickly specific data can be found.
Types:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Binary search style indexing


B-Tree indexing
Inverted list indexing
Memory resident table
Table indexing

42. What is normalization?


Answer: It is a process of analysing the given relation schemas based on their Functional
Dependencies
(FDs)
and
primary
key
to
achieve
the
properties
(1).Minimizing redundancy, (2). Minimizing insertion, deletion and update anomalies.
43. What is Functional Dependency?
44. When is a functional dependency F said to be minimal?
45. What is multivalued dependency?
46. What is Lossless join property?
Answer: It guarantees that the spurious tuples generation does not occur with respect to relation
schemas after decomposition.
47. What is 1 NF (Normal Form)?
Answer: The domain of attribute must include only atomic (simple, indivisible) values.
48. What is Fully Functional dependency?
Answer: It is based on concept of full functional dependency. A functional dependency X Y is
full functional dependency if removal of any attribute A from X means that the dependency does
not hold any more.
49. What is 2 NF?
Answer: A relation schema R is in 2NF if it is in 1NF and every non-prime attribute A in R is
fully functionally dependent on primary key.
50. What is 3 NF?

Answer: A relation schema R is in 3NF if it is in 2NF and for every FD X A either of the
following is true.
1. X is a Super-key of R.
2. A is a prime attribute of R.
In other words, if every non prime attribute is non-transitively dependent on primary key.
51. What is BCNF (Boyce-Codd Normal Form)?
Answer: A relation schema R is in BCNF if it is in 3NF and satisfies an additional constraint that
for every FD X A, X must be a candidate key.
52. What is 4NF?
Answer: A relation schema R is said to be in 4NF if for every Multivalued dependency X Y that
holds over R, one of following is true.
1.) X is subset or equal to (or) XY = R.
2.) X is a super key.
53. What is 5NF?
Answer: A Relation schema R is said to be 5NF if for every join dependency {R1, R2, ..., Rn}
that holds R, one the following is true
1.)Ri = R for some i.
2.) The join dependency is implied by the set of FD, over R in which the left side is key of R.
54. What is DKNF (Domain Key Normal Form)?
Answer: A relation is said to be in DKNF if all constraints and dependencies that should hold on
the the constraint can be enforced by simply enforcing the domain constraint and key constraint
on the relation.
55. What are the Inference Rules for Functional and Multivalued Dependency?
56. What is a query?
Answer: A query with respect to DBMS relates to user commands that are used to interact with a
data base. The query language can be classified into data definition language and data
manipulation language.
57. What is the use of CASCADE CONSTRAINTS?
Answer: When this clause is used with the DROP command, a parent table can be dropped even
when a child table exists.
58. Difference between VARCHAR and VARCHAR2?
Answer: Varchar means fixed length character data (size) i.e., min size-1 and max-2000
Varchar2 means variable length character data i.e., min-1 to max-4000

59. Which system table contains information on constraints on all the tables created?
Answer: USER_CONSTRAINTS
60. What is the main difference between the IN and EXISTS clause in sub queries?
Answer: The main difference between the IN and EXISTS predicate in sub query is the way in
which the query gets executed.
IN -- The inner query is executed first and the list of values obtained as its result is used by the
outer query. The inner query is executed for only once.
EXISTS -- The first row from the outer query is selected, then the inner query is executed and,
the outer query output uses this result for checking. This process of inner query execution repeats
as many no .of times as there are outer query rows. That is, if there are ten rows that can result
from outer query, the inner query is executed that many no. of times.
61. What is transaction in DBMS?
Answer: A transaction is a logical unit of database processing that includes one or more
database access operations these can include insertion, deletion, modification or
retrieval operations.
62. What are the different types of failures?

A complete failure (system crash)

A transaction or system error

Local errors or exception conditions detected by the transaction

Concurrency control enforcement

Disk failure

Physical problems and catastrophes

63. What are ACID properties

Atomicity

Consistency preservation

Isolation

Durability or permanency

64. What is schedule?


Dept of CSE, AIT

5th CSE

Database Applications Lab Manual

Answer: When transactions are executing concurrently in an interleaved fashion, then the order
of execution of operations from the various transaction is known as schedule or history.
65. What is timestamp?
Answer: Timestamp is a unique identifier created by the DBMS to identify a transaction.
66. What is the use of Spool command?
Answer: Spool will record all your statements in a text file which will be created in the path
specified by you in path directory. Until and unless you switch off the spool it won't record your
statements but a file will be created in that path.
spool C:\temp.txt (temp file will be created in C drive)
select * from tablename1 (Output will be generated)
select * from tablename2 (Output will be generated)
etc......
spool off (All records after your file was
errors/messages/outputs/results etc.)
