1. What is database?
A database is an organized collection of related data in which the user can
easily retrieve their actual information. It is organized by fields, records and files.
2. Explain about relational database.
Relational database is collection of data items arranged by a set of formally-
described tables in which data can be arranged in many di ways without the need tp
reorganize the database tables.
3. Explain the concept of integrity and its types.
The concept of data integrity makes sure that all data in a database can be tracked
and connected to one of the data which ensures that the data is recoverable and
searchable.
Types:
1. Entity Integrity - base relation, primary key column values cannot be null.
2. Referential Integrity-states that, if R2 includes a foreign key FK matching
the primary key PK of some then every value of FK in R2 must be equal to
the value of PK in some rows of R1.
3. Domain Integrity-states that the values in a table are legal based on the
physical and the logical domain definition.
