i Program-Data Dependence ii Duplication of Data

iii Program Maintenance iv Data Sharing
v Development Times
b Briefly describe the following components of the database environment (15 Marks)

i Database Management System ii Repository

iii Application programs iv Database
v Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools

2 a Discuss the database development activities carried out during the systems development
life cycle. (15 Marks)
b Explain the differences between user views, a conceptual schema, and an internal schema

The loan office in a bank receives from various parties requests to investigate the credit
status of a customer. Each credit request is identified by a Request ID and is described by a
Request Date and Requesting Party Name. The loan office also receives results of credit
checks. A credit check is identified by a Credit Check ID and is described by the Credit Check
Date and the Credit Rating. The loan office matches credit requests with credit check
results. A credit request may be recorded before its result arrives; a particular credit result
may be used in support of several credit requests. (20 Marks)
b Convert the ER diagram(s) in Question 3a to relations. (5 Marks)

4 a List six properties of relations. (6 Marks)

b Discuss the anomalies that can occur in a relation that is in first normal form but not in
second normal form (9 Marks)
c List the conditions that you can apply to determine whether a relation that is in second
normal form is also in third normal form. (6 Marks)
d What do you understand by the following: (4 Marks)

i Primary Key ii Foreign key

iii Composite Key iv Candidate Key

5 Using Figure 1, write SQL commands for the following:

a Count the number of courses taken per lecturer. The result should include Lecturer_Id and
number of courses. (3 Marks)
 b List the Matric No and Last name of students that scored 40 and above in CSC204. (4 Marks)

c Insert a male Muslim student with matric number 020805023, named Sanni Sambo and
born on November 5th 1990 in the STUDENT table. (3 Marks)
d Create a view for female students that offered compulsory courses. The view should include
all the fields in the STUDENT table (3 Marks)
