Directions: Write your answers on a short bond paper.
Part I.
1. In your own opinion, will Database Management be easier or harder to
understand in the future? Provide an explanation for your answer.
- For me I can say that Database Management will be harder to understand in the
future because a lot of update information that will be included in database
management will be implemented and as many as concept about database is added , it
will be hard to sink it or understand all of it.
2. Provide two examples of a DATA.
- Weight
- Employee names
3. Provide two examples of INFORMATION.
- Receipts
- Printed Documents
4. In your own understanding, describe the difference between data and
information.
- For me, Data are the facts that has been collected by the user and it is useless and
we can call it already a INFORMATION if it has been organized, processed and
structured to make it useful.
Jerson V. Nieva BSIT 3B

5. A company creates websites using style sheets.
5.1 Identify one item of data that will be used by the company
- Employee names
5.2 Describe how this item of data can become information.
- The data in employee names will be processed by the knowledge of both computer
and human and decision, then it will be sorted and organized and turn into
information.
5.3 Describe the term knowledge.
If we are talking about computer knowledge, this is what the machine or

computer knows including the consisting of rules and facts.
Part II (Effective Data Administration)
A school is planning some outdoor activities for its students. The staff wants to
create a database of how parents can help. The secretary sets up the database table,
see Figure 1, to keep the information.
Question 1: What problems can you foresee in making good use of this information?
Suggest some better ways that this information could be stored.
- The problem is that the data (Names) are not sorted alphabetically based on
their last name, so one of the best way to store this easily is to sort first the Names
alphabetically.
Question 2: Suggest some better ways that this information could be stored.
Provide an explanation on the modification that you have made.
- The table showed below is my idea to sort the information alphabetically based
on their Last Name. Storing it alphabetically can make the user not confused and make
the table organized.

completion.
Task 1
Direction: Consider the customer sales data of a furniture store below and
answer the following questions.
1. What is a data value?
- Data values are what actually take place in the data variable set aside by the
data entities and all its attributes.
2. How many data values does the purchase number 8 have?
-3
3. What is a record?

is a collection of fields, possibly of different data types, typically in a fixed
number and sequence
4. How many records does the customer sales data of furniture store have?
- 10
From the data table above, give one example of a record.
8 | /13/06/2019/ | 3 | A_1
5. How many fields does the customer sales data of furniture store have? What
are those?
- 4
-Purchase Number , Date of Purchase , customer ID, Item code.
6. What data value there would be if the customer ID of purchase number 2 is
blank?
- 27
7. When does a violation of relational database model occurs? Give an
example/s.
-Domain constraint gets violated only when a given value to the attribute does not
appear in the corresponding domain or in case it is not of the appropriate datatype.
Assume that the domain constraint says that all the values you insert in the relation
should be greater than 10, and in case you insert a value less than 10 will cause you
violation of the domain constraint, so gets rejected.

FALSE 4. Database Management Systems (DBMSes) can handle any amount of data,
from small to large.
FALSE 5. Database optimizers must generate execution plans that reflect the exact
order of operations specified in the SQL statement.
TRUE 6. A database is called “self-describing” because it contains a description of
itself.
TRUE 7. The execution of a query requires the DBMS to break down the query into a
series of independent I/O operations to be executed in a collaborative
manner.
TRUE 8. Structured Query Language (SQL) is an internationally recognized standard
language that is understood by all commercial database management system

LP2 UNIT 3
TASK 1: Reflect
Directions: Write your answers on the space provided, you may use a separate paper if
necessary. Do not encode your answers, unless otherwise approved by your subject
instructor.
1. Why would you choose a database system instead of simply storing data in
operating system files? When would it make sense not to use a database system?
Database system is better than just simply storing data in operating system files.
The user can easily sort and organized data using database system. Database system is
more convenient in processing data. There is no reason not to use a database system
actually. But if you are going to store a large data then you have to use rational database
system.
2. The image below show a small portion of a database table recording information
about plants. Along with the botanical and common names of each plant, the developer
decides it would be convenient to keep information on the uses of plant. This is to help
prospective buyers decide whether a plant is appropriate for their requirements. Notice
that the table makes it extremely difficult to answer a question like “What plants are

good for firewood?” Using the problem identified, set up a relational database by
creating tables.
Uses
USE 1
USE 2
USE 3
3 . Create a simple database that records the following information of ten students:
Then perform the following queries:
3.1 Create Table
Table name : Students
CREATE TABLE Students
(idnum int NOT NULL,
nameofStudents char(50) NOT NULL,
address char(50) NOT NULL,


gender char(50) NOT NULL,
birth_date char(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (idnum)
);
3.2 Insert Into
INSERT INTO Students (idnum, nameofStudents,address,gender,birth_date)
VALUES (‘1’ , ’Jerson Nieva’ , ’Maulong’ , ’Male’ , ’July 22 2000 ‘ ;);
VALUES (‘2’ , ’Mary Jane’ , ’Payao’ , ’Female’ , ’Oct 3 1999 ‘ ;);
VALUES (‘3’ , ’Aeron Carl’ , ’Sea Wall’ , ’Male’ , ’June 3 2000 ‘ ;);
VALUES (‘4’ , ’John Patrick’ , ’Slaughterl’ , ’Male’ , ’September 20 1998 ‘ ;);

VALUES (‘8’ , ’Mark Acaba’ , ’Maulong’ , ’Male’ , ’February 2 1999 ‘ ;);


VALUES (‘9’ , ’Steph Lance’ , ’Munoz’ , ’Male’ , ’May 9 2000 ‘ ;);
VALUES (‘10’ , ’Shan Balderama’ , ’Maulong’ , ’Male’ , ’November 8 2000 ‘ ;);
4 . What is the evaluation order for the Boolean operations (AND, OR) in an SQL
command? How can one be sure that the operators will work in the desired order
rather than in this prescribed order?
It must be true for both side to have a true result when we are going to use
AND , and it must have only one true to have a result of true when we are going to use
OR. Operators will work in the desired order because the user set it and if the user
ordered the condition correctly.
TASK 2: True or False

TRUE 5. USE database
FALSE6. It is never possible to have a logical error in any of the SQL queries.
FALSE7. The INSERT INTO statement is used to define a new table.


FALSE8. A query language is a specialized language for writing queries.
TRUE 9. It is possible to write the INSERT INTO statement in two forms. The first form
does not specify the column names where the data will be inserted, only their values.
The 2nd form specifies both the column names and values to be inserted.
TRUE 10. The DROP statement is used to delete records in a table

LP2 UNIT 5
TASK 1: Testing your understanding
Directions: Write your answers on the space provided, you may use a separate
paper if necessary. Do not encode your answers, unless otherwise approved by
your subject instructor.
1. When is an outer join used instead of a natural join?
The outer join used when we are going to match rows between tables. unmatched rows
in one or both tables can be returned.
2. Explain the following statement regarding SQL: A query that can be written using the
subquery approach can also be written using the joining approach, but not vice-versa.
While SQL*PLUS allows a subquery to return more than one column, most
systems allow pairwise joining of one and only one column in an inner query with one
column in an outer query. You can display data only from the table(s) referenced in the
outer query. If you want to include data from the subquery in the result, then you
would have to use the join technique because data from the subquery cannot be

included in the results. The joining technique is useful when data from several relations
are to be retrieved and displayed, and the relationships are not necessarily nested.
3. Under what conditions can a UNION Clause be used?
Union clause can be used when there is a 2 or more result set Select statements to
be combined.
4. Differentiate ALTER, TRUNCATE, DELETE and DROP commands.
Alter modifies the structure of an existing table it can also be used to delete
columns and to add or drop integrity constraints on a table unlike the Truncate
command that deletes the data inside a table, but not the table itself.
Delete command and is used to remove records from a table whereas DROP is
used to remove named elements of schema like table, constraints or entire schema.
TASK 2: Multiple Choice
Direction: Read the questions carefully then choose the best answer. Write the answer
of your choice on the space provided on the left. No erasures.
C 1. What type of join is needed when you wish to include rows that do not have
matching values?
a. Equi-join
b. Natural join
c. Outer join
d. None of the above


D 2. What type of join is needed when you wish to return rows that do have matching
values?
a. Equi-join
b. Natural join
c. Outer join
d. All of the above
D 3. Which of the following statement is one of the basic approaches for joining tables?
a. Subqueries
b. Union Join
c. Natural Join
d. All of the above
B 4. The following SQL is a type of join:
SELECT City FROM Customers UNION ALL
SELECT City FROM Suppliers ORDER BY City;
a. Union All
b. Cartesian Join
c. Outer Join
d. Natural Join
C 5. A union query is which of the following?
a. Combines the output from no more than two queries and must include the
same number of columns


b. Combines the output from no more than two queries and does not include the
same number of columns
c. Combines the output from multiple queries and must include the same
number of columns
d. Combines the output from multiple queries and does not include the same
number of columns
TASK 3: True or False
Direction: Read the questions carefully. Write T if the statement is TRUE and
write F if the answer is FALSE with the correct statement.
T 1. The UNION clause is used to combine the output from multiple queries
together into a single result table.
F INNER JOIN2. The most frequently used relational operation, which brings together
data from two or more related tables into one resultant table, is
called an equi-join.
F 3. Outer join is the same as equi-join, except one of the duplicate
columns is eliminated in the result table.
T 4. With the UNION clause, each query involved must output the same
number of columns, and they must be UNION compatible.
F INNER QUERY & OUTER QUERY5. A correlated subquery is where the outer query
depends on data From the inner query.

Consider Figure 7.12 of unnormalized data. Farms are visited and a number of
samples are taken from different fields. The number of each species (just Springtail
and Beetle for now) in each sample is recorded. A version of the data is shown in
Figure 7.12)
Answer the following questions:
a. What are some of the updating problems that could occur with the
table in Figure 7.12?
The problem that might occur in this data table is there’s only 1 ID in the 2 farm
Name , so in updating this one , deleting a row or updating or get some changes in the
table might possible be confusing to see or understand by the user.
b. Which of the following functional dependencies hold for the insect
data?
• FarmID → FarmName? YES
• FarmID → Visit? NO
• Visit → Date? YES
• Date → Visit? YES
• Visit → FarmID? NO

• Sample → Field? YES
• (Sample, VisitID) → Field? YES
• (Sample, Insect) → Count? YES
c. (VisitID, Sample, Insect) → Count? (VisitID, Sample, Insect) is suggested as an

appropriate primary key. Can you determine all the other values from knowing the
values of these three fields? Would it be a suitable primary key?
- FarmID would be a suitable primary key
