19. On-demand computing - is a business computing model in which computing resources are made 2

 Advantages of database:
• Store information -> tabular form • Control of data redundancy • Maintain data consistency
• Storage and retrieval of data becomes faster and convenient • Sharing of data, economical
• Reduced program effect • Improved Data integrity, backup & recovery • Privacy and security
20. Similarity: • Both are used for storing non-numeric data/ alphabets as well as numbers. 2
• Both can store 1 to 255 characters. • Values must be enclosed in single quotes or double
quotes. • Both can store same type of values.

Difference : Char is a fixed length character datatype whereas varchar is a variable length
character datatype.

Datatype – char & varchar

21. Create table players ( Jersey_no int(2) primary key, Player_name varchar(20), 2
Matches_played int(3), Runs int(5) );

22. SELECT * FROM FRIENDS WHERE Pin_Code = ‘427839’; 2

(Pin code is character type so it must be enclosed in quotes)
23. • Easy to maintain. • Increased security at a much lesser cost. • Rapid scaling of capacity. 2

• On-demand self-service by consumers. • Resource pooling of physical and virtual resources.

24.
DDL:
* Data definition language
* performs task related to structure
of database objects (relation/db).
* Eg: create, alter, drop etc.
* DDL is not classified
2
DML:
* Data Manipulation language
* used to manipulate data, i.e) rec/rows in a
table/relation.
* Eg: Insert into, update, delete, select etc.
* DDL is classified as i) procedural DMLs
ii) non- procedural DMLs.

25. Match the following : 2

1. MER b. Mars Rover

2. Tesla Autopilot d. An Automatic Driverless Car

3. Sophia a. A Humanoid

4. Alexa c. Personal Assistant

26. 3
Augmented Reality Virtual Reality
The superimposition of computer generated Virtual Reality (VR) is a three-dimensional,
perceptual information over the existing computer-generated situation that simulates
physical surroundings is AR. the real world.

It adds components of the digital world to
the physical world, with the associated
tactile and other sensory requirements
making environment interactive & digitally
manipulable.
Location-based AR apps
The user can interact with and explore that
environment by getting immersed in it while
interacting with the objects and other actions
of the user.
Gaming, military training, medical,
entertainment, social science, engineering etc.

27. A database management system ensures data security and privacy by providing authorized 3
access privileges only to the authorized person. Grant and revoke permission can be given only
to authorized persons of an organization to gain access to sensitive data.
OR
While choosing a primary kev, it must be ensured that it:
- must uniquely identify the row;
- cannot have NULL values;
- should not change over a period of time;
- should be as short as possible.
28. Cardinality of relation: Number of records or tuples in a relation or table. 3
Degree of a relation: Number of columns or attributes in a relation or table. [1 ½ M each]
29. a. Alter table hospital add address varchar(30); 3
b. Alter table friends drop hobby; [1 ½ M each]

30. a. Hirav, Rajeev 3

Applications of Artificial Intelligence:-
• AI in Navigation like:- Google map, powered Assistants like:- Google Assistant, Siri
• AI in Robotics, Healthcare, gaming, social media, intelligent robots, NLP, vision systems,
expert system.
34. Big data 5
Big Data - huge volume of data that cannot be stored and processed by any traditional data
storage or processing units. • Big data - voluminous & unstructured - posts, instant msgs,
photographs, blog articles, news items, opinion polls , comments, audio/video chats, etc.
Analysis of big data - business users to make better and faster decisions.
Characteristics of Big Data:
• Volume - huge ‘volumes’ of data - on a daily basis * like social media platforms, business,
machines, networks, human interactions, etc. * stored in data warehouses.

Page 10 of 11
 • Velocity - speed at which data is being created in real time. * it comprises the rate of change,
linking of incoming datasets at varying speeds and activity bursts.
• Variety - structured, unstructured and semi-structured data *past - data are collected from
spreadsheets and databases *today- data comes in an array of forms *as emails, PDFs, photos,
videos, audios, SM posts
• Veracity - trustworthiness of the data *processing - incorrect data - wrong results or mislead
interpretations.
• Value - Big data is not only - a big pile of data - possesses hidden patterns & useful
knowledge for high business value.
OR
- Users: varied types, usually a DB administrator, System or Application developers and End users.
 Database Creation
 Database Maintenance
 Database Processing
- Database Application: Personal, Departmental, Enterprise and Internal. It may be general purpose
or customized as per the needs of a user.
- DBMS: Allows users to define, create, access and manage database(s) is termed as a DBMS. For
example, MySQL, Oracle, etc.
- Database: Database is a collection of logical data
