2. Data redundancy :

The repetition of information is known as redundancy .This redundancy leads

to higher storage and access cost.

It may lead to data inconsistency, that is different copies of the same data may
have different values.

c Define the term: 2M

i) Candidate key
ii) ii) Primary key

Ans Candidate key: In a relation, there may be a primary key or may not, but there may be a 1 mark
key or combination of keys which uniquely identify the record. Such a key is called Candidate key
as Candidate key. 1 mark
Primary Key
OR

A candidate key is a column, or set of columns, in a table that can uniquely identify any
database record without referring to any other data.

The candidate key can be simple (having only one attribute) or composite as well.

For Example, {STUD_NO, COURSE_NO} is a composite candidate key for relation

STUDENT_COURSE.

Primary key: A key which is selected by the designer to uniquely identify the entity is
called as Primary key. A primary key cannot contain duplicate values and it can never
contain null values inside it.

Example, RollNo attribute is a primary key for Relation Student.

d Describe exception handling in brief. 4M

Ans Exception Handling: Exception is nothing but an error. Exception can be raise when any relevant 4
DBMS encounters errors or it can be raised explicitly. points 1 mark
each
When the system throws a warning or has an error it can lead to an exception. Such
exception needs to be handled and can be defined internally or user defined.

Exception handling is nothing but a code block in memory that will attempt to resolve
current error condition.

Syntax:

DECLARE ;

Declaration section

…executable statement;

EXCEPTION

WHEN ex_name1 THEN ;

Error handling statements/user defined action to be carried out;

END;

Types of Exception:

1) Predefined Exception/system defined exception/named exception: Are always

automatically raised whenever related error occurs. The most common errors that can
occur during the execution of PL/SQL. Not declared explicitly i.e. cursor already open,
invalid cursor, no data found, zero divide and too many rows etc. Programs are handled
by system defined Exceptions.

2) User defined exception: It must be declare by the user in the declaration part of the
block where the exception is used. It is raised explicitly in sequence of statements using:

Raise_application_error(Exception_Number, Error_Message);

or ROLLBACK command example 1
Mark for each
The syntax: SQL> COMMIT;

Or

COMMIT WORK;

Example :

SQL>Commit;

Rollback:

The ROLLBACK command is used to undo transactions that have not already been
saved to the database.

The ROLLBACK command can only be used to undo transactions since the last
COMMIT or ROLLBACK command was issued.

The syntax for ROLLBACK is:

ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT_NAME;

OR

ROLLBACK;

OR

ROLLBACK WORK;

Example:

SQL>ROLLBACK;

b Explain joins in SQL with examples. 4M

Ans JOIN: Definition: 2

marks, Any 2
A SQL join is an instruction to combine data from two sets of data (i.e. two tables). A types with
JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column description: 1
between them. SQL Join types are as follows: mark each

1) INNER JOIN or EQUI JOIN:

A join which is based on equalities is called equi join. In equi join comparison
operator “=” is used to perform a Join.

Page 9 of 20
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Syntax:

SELECT tablename.column1_name,tablename.column1_name

FROM table_name1,table_name2

where table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name;

Example:

Select stud_info.stud_name, stud_info.branch_code, branch_details.location

From stud_info, branch_details

Where Stud_info.branch_code=branch_details.branch_code;

2) SELF JOIN:

The SQL SELF JOIN is used to join a table to itself, as if the table were two
tables, temporarily renaming at least one table in the SQL statement.

Syntax:

SELECT a.column_name, b.column_name

FROM table1 a, table1 b

WHERE a.common_filed = b.common_field;

Example:

Select x.stud_name, y.stud_name

from stud_info x, stud_info y

Where x.leader= y.stud_id;

3) LEFT OUTER JOIN:

A left outer join retains all of the rows of the “left” table, regardless of whether there is a
row that matches on the “right” table.

Syntax:

Select column1name,column2name

from table1name any_alias1 ,table2name any_alias2

on any_alias1.columnname(+) = any_alias2.columnname;

OR

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Select column1name,column2name

from table1name left outer join table2name

on table1name.columnname= table2name.columnname;

Example:

select last_name, department_name

from employees e, departments d

on e.department_id(+) = d.department_id;

OR

select last_name, department_name

from employees left outer join departments

on employees.department_id = departments.department_id;

4) RIGHT OUTER JOIN:

A right outer join retains all of the rows of the “right” table, regardless of
whether there is a row that matches on the “left” table.

Syntax:

Select column1name, column2name

from table1name any_alias1, table2name any_alias2

on any_alias1.columnname =any_alias2.columnname (+);

OR

Select column1name, column2name

from table1name any_alias1 right outer join table2 name any_alias2

on any_alias1.columnname =any_alias2.columnname;

5) NON EQUI JOIN:

Non equi joins is used to return result from two or more tables where exact join is
not possible.

Syntax:

Select aliasname.column1name, aliasname.column2name from tablename alias

where <condition using range>;

For example:

In emp table and salgrade table. The salgrade table contains grade and their low
salary and high salary. Suppose you want to find the grade of employees based on
their salaries then you can use NON EQUI join.

Select e.empno, e.ename, e.sal, s.grade

from emp e, salgrade s

where e.sal between s.lowsal and s.hisal;

c Explain function in PL/SQL with example. 4M

Ans Function: Description: 2

marks,
Function is a logically grouped set of SQL and Pl/SQL statements that perform a Example : 2
specific task. A function is same as a procedure except that it returns a value. A marks
function is created using the CREATE FUNCTION statement.

Syntax:

CREATE [OR REPLACE] FUNCTION function_name

[(parameter_name [IN | OUT | IN OUT] type [, ...])]
RETURN return_datatype
{IS | AS}
BEGIN
< function_body >
END [function_name];

Page 12 of 20
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Where,

 function-name specifies the name of the function.

 [OR REPLACE] option allows the modification of an existing function.
 The optional parameter list contains name, mode and types of the parameters. IN
represents the value that will be passed from outside and OUT represents the
parameter that will be used to return a value outside of the procedure.
 The function must contain a return statement.
 The RETURN clause specifies the data type you are going to return from the
function.
 function-body contains the executable part.
 The AS keyword is used instead of the IS keyword for creating a standalone
function.

Example:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Success_cnt

RETURN number

IS cnt number(7) := 0;

BEGIN

SELECT count(*) into cnt

FROM candidate where result='Pass';

RETURN cnt;

END;

d Explain database security with its requirements in detail. 4M

Ans Database security Definition 1

Mark, 3 mark
Database security refers to the collective measures used to protect and secure a database for detail
or database management software from illegal use and malicious threats and attacks. description

Requirements of Database Security:

1. For prevention of data theft such as bank account numbers, credit card
information, passwords, work related documents or sheets, etc.

2. 2. To make data remain safe and confidential.

3. To provide confidentiality which ensures that only those individuals should ever

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
be able to view data they are not entitled to.

4. To provide integrity which ensures that only authorized individuals should ever
be able change or modify information.

5. To provide availability which ensure that the data or system itself is available for
use when authorized user wants it.

6. To provide authentication which deals with the desire to ensure that an

authorized individual.

7. To provide non-repudiation which deals with the ability to verify that message
has been sent and received by an authorized user.

OR

1. Confidentiality: The principle of confidentiality specifies that only sender

and intended recipients should be able to access the contents of a message.
Confidentiality gets compromised if an unauthorized person is able to access the
contents of a message

2. Integrity: when the contents of the message are changed after the sender sends
it, but before it reaches the intended recipient, we say that the integrity of the
message is lost.

3. Authentication: Authentication helps to establish proof of identities. The

Authentication process ensures that the origin of a message is correctly identified.

4. Availability: The goal of availability s to ensure that the data, or the system
itself, is available for use when the authorized user wants it.

4 Attempt any THREE of the following : 12 M

a Explain the four roles of database administrator. 4M

Ans 1. Schema Definition The Database Administrator creates the database schema by 1 Mark for
executing DDL statements. Schema includes the logical structure of database table each role
(Relation) like data types of attributes, length of attributes, integrity constraints etc.

2. Storage structure and access method definition The DBA creates appropriate
storage structures and access methods by writing a set of definitions which is translated
by data storage and DDL compiler.

3. Schema and physical organization modification DBA writes set of definitions to

modify the database schema or description of physical storage organization.

Page 14 of 20
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Granting authorization for data access The DBA provides different access rights to
the users according to their level. Ordinary users might have highly restricted access to
data, while you go up in the hierarchy to the administrator, you will get more access
rights. Integrity constraints specifications: Integrity constraints are written by DBA and
they are stored in a special file which is accessed by database manager while updating
data.

5. Routine Maintenance some of the routine maintenance activities of a DBA is

given below.

(i) Taking backup of database periodically

(ii) Ensuring enough disk space is available all the time.

(iii) Monitoring jobs running on the database.

(iv) Ensure that performance is not degraded by some expensive task submitted by some
users.

6. Integrity- constraint specification: Integrity constraints are written by DBA and they
are stored in a special file, which is accessed by database manager, while updating the
data.

b State and Explain 1 NF and 2 NF with example. 4M

Ans First Normal Form (1NF): For 1NF - 2

Marks, For
A relation R is said to be in first normal form (1NF) if the domain of all attributes of R 2NF -2 Marks
are atomic.

OR

A table is in the first normal form if it contains no repeating elements groups. Example:
Supplier(sno,sname,location,pno,qty)

SNO SNAME LOCATION PNO QTY

S1 Abc Mumbai P1 200

S2 Pqr Pune P2 300

S3 Lmn Delhi P1 400

The above relation is in 1NF as all the domains are having atomic value. But it is not in
2NF.

Second Normal Form (2NF):

A relation is said to be in the second normal form if it is in first normal form and all the
non key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example:

In the above relation NAME, LOCATION depends on SNO and QTY on (SNO, PNO)
so the table can be split up into two tables as Supplier(SNO,SNAME,LOCATION) and
SP(SNO,PNO,QTY) and now both the tables are in second normal form.

Supplier

SNO SNAME LOCATION

S1 Abc Mumbai

S2 Pqr Pune

S3 Lmn Delhi

Supplier_Product

SNO PNO QTY

S1 P1 200

S2 P2 300

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Advantages of PL/SQL:

1. PL/SQL is portable and high transaction processing language.

2. PL/SQL is in fact procedural language but it also supports object oriented

programming.

3. It allows user to write as well as access the functions and procedures from outside the
programs.

4. It has got built in libraries of packages.

d Write step by step syntax to create, open and close cursor in PL/SQL. 4M

Ans A cursor holds the rows (one or more) returned by a SQL statement. 2 marks,
Opening: 1
Declaring: This term is used to declare a cursor so that memory initialization will take mark, Closing
place. cursor: 1
mark
A cursor is declared by defining the SQL statement that returns a result set.

Example:

Declare CURSOR Winter_18 IS SELECT roll_no, std_name, percentage FROM

student;

Opening: A Cursor is opened and populates data by executing the SQL statement
defined by the cursor.

Example:

Open Winter_18;

Closing a Cursor: This forces cursor for releasing the allocated memory assigned/
occupied by cursor.

Example:

CLOSE Winter_18;

e Explain Transaction ACID properties. 4M

Ans ACID properties of transaction For each

property - 1
1. Atomicity: When one transaction takes place, many operations occur under one Mark
transaction. Atomicity means either all operations will take place property and reflect in
the database or none of them will be reflected.

2. Consistency: Consistency keeps the database consistent. Execution of a transaction

Page 17 of 20
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
needs to take place in isolation. It helps in reducing complications of executing multiple
transactions at a time and preserves the consistency of the database.

3. Isolation: It is necessary to maintain isolation for the transactions. This means one
transaction should not be aware of another transaction getting executed. Also their
intermediate result should be kept hidden.

4. Durability: When a transaction gets completed successfully, it is important that the

changes made by the transaction should be preserved in database in spite of system
failures.

5 Attempt any TWO of the following : 12 M

1. Attempt any FIVE of the following: 10 M
a Define : 2M
(i) Instance (ii) Schema
Ans (i) Instance: The data stored in database at a particular moment 1 M for each
of time is called instance of database. Definition
(ii) Schema: Design of a database is called the schema. Schema
is of three types: Physical schema, logical schema and view
schema.
b List any four advantages of DBMS. 2M
Ans  Controlling Redundancy ( ½ M for any
 Maintaining Integrity advantage)
 Inconsistency can be avoided
 Data can be shared
 Restricting unauthorized access
 Providing Backup and Recovery
 Concurrency Control
 Better security.
c State any two E.F. Codd’s rule for RDBMS. 2M
Ans 1. The Information rule: All information in an RDBMS is represented ½ M for each
logically in just one way - by values in tables. rule , ½ M each
Page No:1 /21
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)

2. The Guaranteed Access rule: Each item of data in an RDBMS is proper

guaranteed to be logically accessible by resorting to a combination of statement
table name, primary key value, and column name.
3. The Systematic Treatment of Null Values rule: Null values
(distinct from an empty character string or a string of blank characters
and distinct from zero or any other number) are supported in a fully
relational DBMS for representing missing
4. The Dynamic Online Catalog Based on the Relational Model rule:
The database description is represented at the logical level in the same
way as ordinary data, so that authorized users can apply the same
relational database.
5. The Comprehensive Data Sublanguage rule: A relational system
may support several languages and various modes of terminal for data
definition, view definition, data manipulation etc.
6. The View Updating rule: All views of the data which are
theoretically updatable must be updatable in practice by the DBMS.
7. The High-level Insert, Update, and Delete rule: The capability of
handling a base relation or a derived relation as a single database to
perform all DML operations.
8. The Physical Data Independence rule: Application programs and
terminal activities remain logically unchanged whenever any changes
are made in either storage representations or access methods.
9. The Logical Data Independence rule: Application programs and
terminal activities remain logically unchanged when information
preserving changes of any kind are made to the base tables.
10. The Integrity Independence rule: Integrity constraints must be
definable in the RDBMS sub-language and stored in the system
catalogue and not within individual application programs.
11. The Distribution Independence rule: An RDBMS has distribution
independence. Distribution independence implies that users should not
have to be aware of whether a database is distributed.
12. The No subversion rule: If the database has any means of handling
a single record at a time that low-level language must not be able avoid
the integrity rules which are expressed in a higher-level language that
handles multiple records at a time.
d List DCL commands. 2M

Transaction manager: It ensures that the database remains in
consistent state despite of the system failure and that concurrent
transaction execution proceeds without conflicting.
File Manager: It manages the allocation of space on disk storage and
data structures used to represent information stored on disk
Buffer Manager: It is responsible for fetching data from disk storage
into main memory and deciding what data to cache memory.

3 Attempt any THREE of the following: 12 M

a State and explain 2NF with example. 4M
Ans A table is said to be in 2NF if both the following conditions hold: State : 1M
Explanation
 Table is in 1NF (First normal form) with example:
 No non-prime attribute is dependent on the proper subset of any 3M
candidate key of table.
 San attribute that is not part of any candidate key is known as
non-prime attribute.
 Example: Suppose a school wants to store the data of teachers
and the subjects they teach. They create a table that looks like
this: Since a teacher can teach more than one subjects, the table
can have multiple rows for a same teacher.

teacher_id Subject teacher_age

111 Math’s 38

111 Physics 38

222 Biology 38

333 Physics 40

333 Chemistry 40

CandidateKeys:{teacher_id,subject}

Non-prime attribute: teacher_age The table is in 1 NF because each

attribute has atomic values. However, it is not in 2NF because non-
prime attribute teacher_age is dependent on teacher_id alone which is a
proper subset of candidate key. This violates the rule for 2NF as the rule
says “no non-prime attribute is dependent on the proper subset of any
candidate key of the table “To make the table complies with 2NF we
can break it in two tables like this:

more significant meaning. functions with
example : 1M
Aggregate functions are : each
1) Count()
2) Sum()
3) Avg()
4) Min()
5) Max()

1. Count () - 1) It returns number of rows from the given table if no

attribute is mentioned.
2) If some attribute is mentioned, it gives total number of not null values

Page No:9 /21

 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)

for that attribute.

Eg :Select count(*) from emp;
Returns total number of records from emp table.
1) Select count(telephone) from emp;
Returns total number of employees having telephone numbers.
2. Sum() - It give total of all values from a numeric attribute of the
given table,
Eg :Select sum(salary) from emp;
Returns total salary drawn of all employees from the emp table.
3. Avg () - It gives average of all the numeric values of the given
attribute from the table.
Eg :Select Avg(salary) from emp;
Returns average salary of employees from emp table.
4. Min () - It gives minimum of all the values of the numeric given
attribute from the table.
Eg :Select Min(salary) from emp;
Returns minimum salary value from emp table,
5. Max () - It gives maximum of all the values of the numeric given
attribute from the table.
Eg :Select Max(salary) from emp;
retunes maximum salary value from emp table,

c Explain exception handling in PL/SQL with example. 4M

Ans Exception handling in PL/SQL: Explanation :
2M ,
An exception is an error condition during a program execution. PL/SQL example :2M
supports programmers to catch such conditions using EXCEPTION
block in the program and an appropriate action is taken against the error
condition.

There are two types of exceptions −

 System-defined (built in) exceptions

Page No:10 /21

 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)

 User-defined exceptions

The general syntax for exception handling is as follows :

DECLARE
<declarations section>
BEGIN
<executable command(s)>
EXCEPTION
<exception handling goes here >
WHEN exception1 THEN
exception1-handling-statements
WHEN exception2 THEN
exception2-handling-statements
……
….….
END;

Raising Exceptions

Exceptions are raised by the database server automatically whenever

there is any internal database error, but exceptions can be raised
explicitly by the programmer by using the command RAISE. Following
is the simple syntax for raising an exception

DECLARE
exception_name EXCEPTION; BEGIN
IF condition THEN
RAISE exception_name;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN exception_name THEN
statement;
END;
You can use the above syntax in raising the Oracle standard exception
or any user-defined exception.
Example :
DECLARE
A number:=20;
B number:=0;
C number;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line(‘First Num : ’||A);
dbms_output.put_line(‘Second Num : ’||B);

END;

d Explain states of transaction with the help of diagram. 4M

Ans diagram : 1M,

explanation :
3M

Active –the initial state; the transaction stays in this state while it is
executing
Partially committed –after the final statement has been executed.
Failed - after the discovery that normal execution can no longer
proceed.
Aborted – after the transaction has been rolled back and the database
restored to its state prior to the start of the transaction. Two options after
it has been aborted: restart the transaction - can be done only if no
internal logical error kill the transaction Committed –after successful
completion.

Example : Example :

b List the SQL operations and explain range searching operations 4M

between and pattern matching operator ‘like’ with example.

Ans Types of SQL operators : List of

operators : 2M,
1) SQL Arithmetic Operators between
2) SQL Comparison Operators operator : 1M,
Like operator :
3) SQL Logical Operators 1M
Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic operations on
numbers. They are +,-,*, / and %.
Comparison operators are used in between two variables to compare
their values. They are <,>,<=,>=,=,!=or <>,!< and !>.'
Logical operators are used for the Boolean results in sql queries for
comparison of values from the attributes of the tables. Eg: Any, Exists,
All, Like, Between, In etc.
Between operator: The BETWEEN operator is used to search for
values that are within a set of values, given the minimum value and the
maximum value inclusive of both the limits.
Eg: select * from emp where salary between 40000 and 50000;
This will results in rows from emp table where salary falls in the range
of 40000 to 50000.

Page No:13 /21

 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)

Like operator :
The LIKE operator is used to compare a value to similar values using
wildcard operators. It uses two wild characters as ‘%’ and ‘_’ where ‘%’
represents all characters of the pattern and ‘_’ represents one single
character from pattern.
Eg :
Select ename from emp where ename like ‘S%’;
This will return all employee names starting with ‘S’.
Select ename from emp where ename like ‘_a%;
This will return all employee names whose second character is ‘a’.

c Explain cursor with example. 4M

Ans A cursor is a temporary work area created in system memory when a Explanation :
SQL statement is executed. A cursor is a set of rows together with a 2M, example :
pointer that identifies a current row. It is a database object to retrieve 2M
data from a result set one row at a time. It is useful when we want to
manipulate the record of a table in a singleton method, in other words
one row at a time. In other words, a cursor can hold more than one row,
but can process only one row at a time. The set of rows the cursor holds
is called the active set.
Each cursor contains the followings 4 steps,

1. Declare Cursor: In this part we declare variables and return a set

of values.
2. Open: This is the entering part of the cursor.
3. Fetch: Used to retrieve the data row by row from a cursor.
4. Close: This is an exit part of the cursor and used to close a
cursor.
5. Eg:

Declare
enumemp.eno%type;
enemp.ename%type;
Cursor cur is select eno, ename from emp where jobname = “mgr”;
Begin

Page No:14 /21

 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)

Open cur;
Loop Fetch cur into enum,en;
Exit when cur%NOTFOUND;
Dbms_output.put_line(„emp num ‟||enum||‟ emp name „||en);
End loop;
Close cur;
End; /
The example shows fetching multiple records using cursor. A cursor is
a temporary work area created in system memory when a SQL
statement is executed. A cursor is a set of rows together with a pointer
that identifies a current row.
In the example, the cursor is defined to hold the rows as defined by the
select query. Once the cursor is defined, the next step is to open the
cursor. When the cursor is opened, it is ready to retrieve the rows. This
is done using the fetch statement. Since there are many rows, a loop is
used to display the values of all the rows. Once the rows are fetched, the
cursor should be closed.

d State the use of database trigger and also list types of trigger. 4M

Ans Use of trigger Use : 3M List

of types : 1M
Trigger: A trigger is a stored procedure in database which automatically
invokes whenever a special event in the database occurs. A trigger can
be invoked when a row is inserted into a specified table or when certain
table columns are being updated.
Triggers are written to be executed in response to any of the following
events −
A database manipulation (DML) statement (DELETE, INSERT, or
UPDATE)
Database definition (DDL) statements (CREATE, ALTER, or DROP).
A database operation (SERVERERROR, LOGON, LOGOFF,
STARTUP, or SHUTDOWN).
Triggers can be defined on the table, view, schema, or database with
which the event is associated.

Page No:15 /21

 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)

Triggers can be written for the following purposes –

 Generating some derived column values automatically
 Enforcing referential integrity
 Event logging and storing information on table access
 Auditing
 Synchronous replication of tables
 Imposing security authorizations
 Preventing invalid transactions
Types of trigger

 DML Triggers
 DDL Triggers
 Logon Triggers

e Explain recovery techniques with example. 4M

Ans When recovering the database, it is must redo the effects of the previous Explanation :
transactions. This is called Rolling Forward or simple Forward 3M,
Recovery. Not all but some active transaction that didn’t complete Example 1M
successfully needs to rollback, when the disk drive crashed. Such kind
of rollback is called Backward Recovery.

The Redo Log and Rolling Forward (REDO operation)

The redo log is a set of operating system files that record all changes
made to any database buffer, including data, index, and rollback
segments, whether the changes are committed or uncommitted. The redo
log protects changes made to database buffers in memory that have not
been written to the data files.
The first step of recovery from an instance or disk failure is to roll
forward, or reapply all of the changes recorded in the redo log to the
data files. Because rollback data is also recorded in the redo log, rolling
forward also regenerates the corresponding rollback segments.

Rolling forward proceeds through as many redo log files as necessary to

bring the database forward in time. Rolling forward usually includes
online redo log files and may include archived redo log files.

After roll forward, the data blocks contain all committed changes as

Page No:16 /21

 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

well as any uncommitted changes that were recorded in the redo log.

Rollback Segments and Rolling Back (UNDO operation)

Rollback segments record database actions that should be undone during
certain database operations. In database recovery, rollback segments
undo the effects of uncommitted transactions previously applied by the
rolling forward phase. After the roll forward, any changes that were not
committed must be undone. After redo log files have reapplied all
changes made to the database, then the corresponding rollback segments
are used. Rollback segments are used to identify and undo transactions
that were never committed, yet were recorded in the redo log and
applied to the database during roll forward. This process is called rolling
back.

(b) Explain any four set operators in SQL with example. 4M
Ans. Set operators combine the results of two component queries into a
single result. Queries containing set operators are called as compound
queries. Set operators in SQL are represented with following special
keywords as: Union, Union all, intersection & minus.
1) Union: The Union of two or more sets contains all elements, 1M each
which are present in either or both. Union works as or. The duplicates for
of both the tables will appear only once. explanat
E.g. select ename from emp1 union select ename from emp2; ion of
2) Union all: The Union of 2 or more sets contains all elements, operator
which are present in both, including duplicates. s with
E.g. select ename from emp1 union all select ename from emp2; example
3) Intersection: The intersection of two sets includes elements which
are present in both.
E.g. select ename from emp1 intersect select ename from emp2;
4) Minus: The minus of two sets includes elements from set1 minus
elements of set2.
E.g. select ename from emp1 minus select ename from emp2;
(c) Describe Views and write a command to create view. 4M
Ans. A view is a virtual table based on the result set of the SQL statement.
The fields in a view are fields from one or more than one table in the
database. SQL functions, where, join statements can be added to a
view and the data in it can be presented as if it were from one table.
The database engine recreates the data, using the view’s SQL
statement, every time a user queries a view. A view can be updated Explana
using the create or replace view command. For deleting a view, drop tion 3M
query can be used.

General syntax to create a view:

create view viewname as select query. General
Eg: syntax/
create view vw_student as select stud_id, stud_name,ssc_per from example
student; 1M
(d) Explain implicit and explicit cursors. 4M
Ans. A cursor is a temporary work area created in system memory when an
SQL statement is executed. A cursor is a set of rows together with a
pointer that identifies a current row. It is a database object to retrieve

data from result set on row at a time.

Implicit cursor: these types of cursors are generated and used by the
system during the manipulation of a DML query. An implicit cursor Each
is also generated by the system when a single row is selected by a explanat
SELECT command. ion 2M
Programmers cannot control the implicit cursors.
Explicit cursor: this type of cursor is created by the user when the
select command returns more than one row, and only one row is to be
processed at a time. An explicit cursor can move from one row to
another in a result set. An explicit cursor uses a pointer that holds the
record of a row.
To create an explicit cursor the following steps are used.
1. Declare cursor: this is done in the declaration section of PL/SQL
program.
2. Open: this step is done before the cursor is used to fetch the
records.
3. Fetch: used to retrieve data row by row from the cursor.
4. Close: once the processing of the data is done, the cursor can be
closed.
3. Attempt any THREE of the following: 12
(a) State and explain 3NF with example. 4M
Ans. 3NF:
An entity is said to be in the third normal form when,
1) It satisfies the criteria to be in the second normal form.
2) There exists no transitive functional dependency. (Transitive Explana
functional dependency can be explained with the relationship link tion 2M
between three tables. If table A is functionally dependent on B, and B
is functionally dependent on C then C is transitively dependent on A).
Let us consider the Schema given:
(Supplier_no,SupplierName,Supplier_city,Order_no,Order_quantity,
Order_amount,Product_code,Product name,rate)
Step 1.To convert it into 2NF, We have to decompose the given table

product_name,rate)
Now the above two tables are in 2NF
Step 2: To convert the above tables in 3NF, we have to
decomposehem in three tables satisfying the transitive dependencies
property.
Table 4: Supplier Details
(Supplier_no,Supplier_name,Supplier_city)
Table 5: Product Details:
(Product_code, product_name,rate)
Table 6: Order Details (or Transaction Details)
((Order_no,Supplier_no,Product_code,Order_quantity,Order_amount
)
Hence the above three tables are satisfying Transitive dependencies.
Thus they are in 3NF.
(b) Define index. Explain it‟s types. 4M
Ans. An Index is a schema object. It is used by the oracle server to
improve the speed of retrieval of the rows from a table .Indexes are of Definitio
two types based on number of columns included in the index. n 1M
The types of index are:
1) Simple index: An index created on a single column of table is
called as simple index
Syntax: Each

Example:Create index emp_index on emp(empno); 1½M
2) Composite Index: An index created on more than one column is
called composite index.
Syntax:
SQL>Create Index index_name on
tablename(attribute1,attribute2);
Example: Create index emp_index on emp(empno,ename);
(c) Explain Exception handling with it‟s types. 4M
Ans. An exception is an error condition during a program execution.
PL/SQL supports programmers to catch such conditions Explana
using EXCEPTION block in the program and an appropriate action tion 2M
is taken against the error condition.
There are two types of exceptions −

(d) Explain ACID properties of traction. 4M

Ans. A transaction can be defined as a group of tasks. A single task is the
minimum processing unit which cannot be divided further.

ACID Properties
A transaction is a very small unit of a program and it may contain
several lowlevel tasks. A transaction in a database system must Explana
maintain Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability − tion
commonly known as ACID properties − in order to ensure accuracy, of each
completeness, and data integrity. property
1M
 Atomicity: This property states that a transaction must be treated
as an atomic unit, that is, either all of its operations are executed
or none. There must be no state in a database where a transaction
is left partially completed. States should be defined either before
the execution of the transaction or after the
execution/abortion/failure of the transaction.
 Consistency: The database must remain in a consistent state after
any transaction. No transaction should have any adverse effect on
the data residing in the database. If the database was in a
consistent state before the execution of a transaction, it must
remain consistent after the execution of the transaction as well.
 Isolation: In a database system where more than one transaction
are being executed simultaneously and in parallel, the property of
isolation states that all the transactions will be carried out and
executed as if it is the only transaction in the system. No
transaction will affect the existence of any other transaction.
 Durability: The database should be durable enough to hold all its
latest updates even if the system fails or restarts. If a transaction
updates a chunk of data in a database and commits, then the
database will hold the modified data. If a transaction commits but
the system fails before the data could be written on to the disk,
then that data will be updated once the system springs back into
action.

called as Strong entity set.

Example: Employee is a Strong entity with attributes as empid, name,
address, salary, birthdate among which empid can be considered as
primary key.

Weak entity set: Each

The entity set which does not have sufficient attributes to form a entity set
primary key is called as Weak entity set. 2M
A weak entity is an entity that cannot be uniquely identified by its
attributes alone; therefore, it must use a foreign key in conjunction
with its attributes to create a primary key. The foreign key is typically
a primary key of an entity it is related to.
Example: Employee has "dependents" with name, birthdate, and
relationship to employee and it can be related to employee with the
help of empid, so "dependents" is a weak entity which depends on
strong entity "Employee".
(b) Describe create & alter command with syntax & example. 4M
Ans. 1) The SQL CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new
table.

Syntax
The basic syntax of the CREATE TABLE statement is as follows –
CREATE TABLE table_name Each
comman
(
d 2M
column1 datatype (size),
column2 datatype(size),
column3 datatype(size),
....
);
Example:

2)The ALTER TABLE statement is used to add, delete, or modify

columns in an existing table.

The ALTER TABLE statement is also used to add and drop various
constraints on an existing table.

i) To add Columns in a table

Ans. PL/SQL has three categories of control statements: conditional
selection statements, loop statements and sequential control
statements.
PL/SQL categories of control statements are:
 Conditional selection statements, which run different statements
for different data values.

The conditional selection statements are IF and CASE.

 Loop statements, which run the same statements with a series of
different data values.
Explana
The loop statements are the basic LOOP, FOR LOOP, tion of
and WHILE LOOP. Any one
control
The EXIT statement transfers control to the end of a loop. structur
The CONTINUE statement exits the current iteration of a loop and e 4M
transfers control to the next iteration.
Both EXIT and CONTINUE have an optional WHEN clause, where
you can specify a condition.

 Sequential control statements, which are not crucial to PL/SQL

programming.

The sequential control statements are GOTO, which goes to a

specified statement, and NULL, which does nothing.

1)Conditional Control: IF and CASE Statements:

The IF statement lets us execute a sequence of statements
conditionally. That is, whether the sequence is executed or not
depends on the value of a condition. There are three forms
of IF statements: IF-THEN, IF-THEN-ELSE, and IF-THEN-ELSIF.
The CASE statement is a compact way to evaluate a single condition
and choose between many alternative actions.

IF-THEN Statement:The simplest form of IF statement associates a

condition with a sequence of statements enclosed by the
keywords THEN and END IF (not ENDIF), as follows:
IF condition THEN
sequence_of_statements
END IF;

IF-THEN-ELSE Statement: The second form of IF statement adds

the keyword ELSE followed by an alternative sequence of statements,
as follows:
IF condition THEN
sequence_of_statements1

ELSE
sequence_of_statements2
END IF;

IF-THEN-ELSIF Statement: The third form of IF statement uses

the keyword ELSIF (not ELSEIF) to introduce additional conditions,
as follows:
IF condition1 THEN
sequence_of_statements1
ELSIF condition2 THEN
sequence_of_statements2
ELSE
sequence_of_statements3
END IF;

CASE Statement: Like the IF statement, the CASE statement selects

one sequence of statements to execute.
IF grade = 'A' THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Excellent');
ELSIF grade = 'B' THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Very Good');
ELSIF grade = 'C' THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Good');
ELSIF grade = 'D' THEN
dbms_output. put_line('Fair');
ELSIF grade = 'F' THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Poor');
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('No such grade');
END IF;

END CASE;

2) Iterative Control: LOOP and EXIT Statements:

LOOP statements let us execute a sequence of statements multiple
times. There are three forms of LOOP statements: LOOP, WHILE-
LOOP, and FOR-LOOP.

LOOP: The simplest form of LOOP statement is the basic (or

infinite) loop, which encloses a sequence of statements between the

keywords LOOP and END LOOP, as follows:
LOOP
sequence_of_statements
END LOOP;

WHILE-LOOP:The WHILE-LOOP statement associates a condition

with a sequence of statements enclosed by the
keywords LOOP and END LOOP, as follows:
WHILE condition LOOP
sequence_of_statements
END LOOP;

Before each iteration of the loop, the condition is evaluated. If the

condition is true, the sequence of statements is executed, then control
resumes at the top of the loop. If the condition is false or null, the
loop is bypassed and control passes to the next statement.

FOR-LOOP:Whereas the number of iterations through

a WHILE loop is unknown until the loop completes, the number of
iterations through a FOR loop is known before the loop is
entered. FOR loops iterate over a specified range of integers. The
range is part of an iteration scheme, which is enclosed by the
keywords FOR and LOOP. A double dot (..) serves as the range
operator. The syntax follows:
FOR counter IN [REVERSE] lower_bound..higher_bound LOOP
sequence_of_statements
END LOOP

3)Sequential Control: GOTO and NULL Statements: Unlike

the IF and LOOP statements, the GOTO and NULL statements
are not crucial to PL/SQL programming.

GOTO Statement

The GOTO statement branches to a label unconditionally.

(e) Describe database backups with it‟s types. 4M
Ans. Regular backups are required to protect database and
ensure its restoration in case of failure. Various backup types provide Descript
different protection to our database. Backing up and restoring data is ion 2M
one of the most important responsibilities of IT professionals
Three common types of database backups can be run on a desired
system: normal (full), incremental and differential.
i) Normal or Full Backups:
When a normal or full backup runs on a selected drive, all the files on
that drive are backed up. This, of course, includes system files,
application files, user data — everything. Those files are then copied
to the selected destination (backup tapes, a secondary drive or the Types
cloud), and all the archive bits are then cleared. 2M

Normal backups are the fastest source to restore lost data because all
the data on a drive is saved in one location.
ii) Incremental Backups:
A common way to deal with the long running times required for
full backups is to run them only on weekends. Many businesses then
run incremental backups throughout the week since they take far less
time. An incremental backup will grab only the files that have been
updated since the last normal backup. Once the incremental
backup has run, that file will not be backed up again unless it changes
or during the next full backup.

iii) Differential Backups:

An alternative to incremental database backups that has a less
complicated restore process is a differential backup. Differential
backups and recovery are similar to incremental in that these backups
grab only files that have been updated since the last normal backup.
However, differential backups do not clear the archive bit. So a file

that is updated after a normal backup will be archived every time a

differential backup is run until the next normal backup runs and clears
the archive bit.

(c) Describe database privileges. Write down the procedure for 6M
granting & revoking privileges in database objects to the users.
Ans. Database privileges:
When multiple users can access database objects, authorization can
be controlled to these objects with privileges. Every object has an
owner. Privileges control if a user can modify an object owned by Databas
another user. Privileges are granted or revoked either by the instance e
administrator, a user with the ADMIN privilege or, for privileges to a Privilege
certain object, by the owner of the object. s 2M
1) System Privileges:
System privileges are privileges given to users to allow them to
perform certain functions that deal with managing the database and
the server
e.gCreate user, Create table, Drop table etc.

2) Object Privileges:
Object privileges are privileges given to users as rights and
restrictions to change contents of database object – where database
objects are things like tables, stored procedures, indexes, etc.
Ex. Select,insert,delete,update,execute,references etc
Procdure for granting privileges
