

a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
(10%)
In the early days, database applications were built on top of file
systems
Drawbacks of using file systems to store data are:
Data redundancy and inconsistency, why?
Difficulty in accessing data, why?
Integrity problems, why?
Application program unstable, why?
Database systems offer solutions to all the above problems, why?

Question 4: Definition of Relation

Relation:

Formally, given sets D1, D2, …. Dn



(10%)
a) Write

D1 x D2 x … x Dn = {(a1, a2, …, an)
| where each ai  Di}
D1 = {
}

D2 = {
}

a Relation r is a subset of D1 x D2
x … x Dn
D3 = {
}

D1 x D2 x D3 =
Thus a relation is a set of n-tuples
(a1, a2, …, an) where
each ai  Di
b) Write
account =
account
c) Why the Relation r is a subset
of D1 x D2 x … x Dn , please
explain it by using above
example.

Question 5: View

(10%)
Assume we have two queries: Q1 and Q2 as follows:

Q1.
create view big-customer as
(select account-number, branch-name
from account
where balance > 500

Q2
select *
from big-customer
a) Draw the result of Q2
b) If we want to add a new tuple to big-customer
insert into big-customer values (‘A-999’, ‘Hualien’)
Where the insertion values will be placed? Draw a table to show
your answer.
c) What are the advantages of the View?

Question 9: multiple relations vs. Single relation (10%)


Database: A database consists of multiple relations
Information about an enterprise is broken up into parts, with each
relation storing one part of the information
E.g.: account: stores information about accounts
depositor: stores information about which customer
owns which account
customer: stores information about customers
bank

If we store all information as a single relation such as
bank(account-number, balance, customer-name, ..)
…
Question: The table bank may contain a lot of repetition of information
and null values, why?
