Questions and Answers

Explain the concept of data independence in the context of database management system (DBMS).

Data independence refers to the ability to modify the schema definition in one level without affecting the schema definition in the next higher level. This allows for changes to be made at the logical or physical level without impacting the other level, providing flexibility and adaptability in the database system.

Describe the components of an Entity-Relationship (E-R) model and their relationships.

The components of an E-R model include entities, entity sets, relationships, relationship sets, and attributes. Entities are objects or concepts with an independent existence, while relationships denote associations among entities. Entity sets are a collection of similar entities, and relationship sets are a collection of similar relationships.

What is the importance of Generalization and Aggregation in database management?

Generalization allows for the organization of entities into a hierarchy, capturing common characteristics and differences. Aggregation enables the grouping of entities to form a higher-level entity, providing a more abstract view of the data.

How does a Database Management System (DBMS) provide convenience and efficiency in data access?

<p>DBMS provides a centralized repository for data, offers data security and integrity, supports concurrent access by multiple users, and provides data independence, query optimization, and efficient storage and retrieval mechanisms, thereby enhancing convenience and efficiency in data access.</p> Signup and view all the answers
