Explain attribute and entity.
2 points
Attribute: Attributes are properties that describe an entity. Let’s look at the example of a university
management system again. The student entity has attributes such as student id, name, age, address,
GPA. The course entity has attributes such as course id, course name, duration.
Entity: An entity is an object in RDBMS that is used to model and store information while an attribute is
a characteristic to define an entity.

What is ER diagram? Why we use ER diagram.
2 points
An Entity Relationship Diagram shows how entities relate to each other in a particular system. Generally,
an ERD does not define business processes, but graphically displays business data patterns.
ER diagrams are used to analyze existing databases to find and resolve problems in logic or deployment.
Drawing the diagram should reveal where it's going wrong. Business information systems: The diagrams
are used to design or analyze relational databases used in business processes.
Define Normalization. Write down the conditions of 2nd normal form
2 points
Normalization is a database design technique that reduces data redundancy and eliminates undesirable
characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anomalies.
Second Normal Form (2NF) is based on the concept of full functional dependency. Second Normal Form
applies to relations with composite keys, that is, relations with a primary key composed of two or more
attributes. To be in second normal form, a relation must be in first normal form and relation must not
contain any partial dependency.
