Answer all questions. Each question carries equal mark.

1. (a) List four significant differences between file 2

processing system and a DBMS.

(b) What is data model? Differentiate

and hierarchical model. between relational 2

(c Explain the role of different database

users. 2

(c) Explain the concept of specialization? Compare the 2

different completeness constraints inposed Gn
specialization with proper example.

3. (a) Consider a database maintaining the details of the 2

loans and the corresponding installments of a bank.
Each loan is represented by a unique loan _no, amount.
Each installment is represented by a ino, iamount,
idate. The association of loan and installment is
represented by the relationship named as loan_inst.
One loan may have multiple install1ments. For each loan
the installments are distinguished through ino. The
existence of installment is dependent on the loan.
Construct the ER diagram for the above database
representing entity set, relationship set, mapping
cardinality and participation constraints.

(b) Develop the appropriate relational schemas for the 2

database illustrated in the ER diagram related to que.
3(a).

(c) Analyze the referential integrity for the relational 2

schema resulted in que 3(b) and draw its corresponding
schema diagram.
Consider the following set F of functional dependencies

List out the all possible candidate keys of R.

(b) Consider a relational schema X(P.Q,R,S) with the 2

functional dependencies on the relation schema: P l
QR->S, R->P,S-.Q).
Check the properties of decomposition if R is
