For Visually Impaired Candidates:

In the context of Database Management System, write a short note on the following:
(i) Database
Answer: A database is a structured collection of data that is organized and stored in a way that makes it easy to access, manage, manipulate and update. It is an electronic filing system where information is stored in the form of tables and can be retrieved or manipulated using queries (questions). Databases are used in various applications, such as websites, banking systems, and inventory management, to store and manage large volumes of data efficiently.
(ii) Table
Answer: In the context of a database, a table is a structured arrangement of data organized into rows and columns. Each row represents a single record or entry, while each column represents a specific attribute or field of the data. Tables are used to store related information in a structured format, making it easy to query, update, and manage the data.
(iii) Field
Answer: In a table, Columns are referred as fields. A field describes a specific property of a record, that is why a field is also known as an attribute.
Fields are essential components of database design and organization, as they define the structure and content of the data stored in the database.
(iv) Composite Primary Key
Answer: Composite primary key is a key of two or more attributes that uniquely identifies the row.
Example: We have two tables:
table ‘Books’: Fields are: BookID (Primary Key), Title, Author
table ‘Borrowers’: Fields are: BorrowerID (Primary Key), Name, Email
let’s introduce a third table called BorrowedBooks to keep track of which books are borrowed by which borrowers and when.
table ‘BorrowedBooks’: Fields are: BookID (Primary Key, Foreign Key referencing Books.BookID), BorrowerID (Primary Key, Foreign Key referencing Borrowers.BorrowerID), BorrowDate
In this scenario, the primary key (BookID) of the BorrowedBooks table is a composite key consisting of two columns: BookID and BorrowerID.
