All questions of Data Storage and Querying for Software Development Exam

Which of the following is not a query optimization technique used in a DBMS?
  • a)
    Indexing
  • b)
    Query rewriting
  • c)
    Query execution plan generation
  • d)
    Query translation
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Query translation is not a query optimization technique. It refers to the process of translating a high-level query language into a lower-level query language for execution.

my_dict = {'name': 'John', 'age': 25}
print(my_dict.get('gender'))
What will be the output of the above code?
  • a)
    'John'
  • b)
    25
  • c)
    None
  • d)
    KeyError: 'gender'
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Diksha Sharma answered
The code attempts to retrieve the value associated with the key 'gender' from the dictionary my_dict using the get() method. Since the key does not exist in the dictionary, it returns None.

class Student:
    def __init__(self, name, roll_number):
        self.name = name
        self.roll_number = roll_number
students = [Student('John', 1), Student('Emma', 2), Student('Mike', 3)]
student_dict = {student.roll_number: student for student in students}
print(student_dict[2].name)
What will be the output of the above code?
  • a)
    'John'
  • b)
    'Emma'
  • c)
    'Mike'
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Output:
The output of the above code will be "Emma".

Explanation:
1. First, we define a class called "Student" with two attributes: name and roll_number. The class has an __init__ method that initializes these attributes.
2. Then, we create a list called "students" and populate it with three instances of the Student class, each with a different name and roll number.
3. Next, we create a dictionary called "student_dict" using a dictionary comprehension. The key of each item in the dictionary is the roll number of the student, and the value is the corresponding student instance.
4. Finally, we print the name of the student with a roll number of 2 from the "student_dict" dictionary. Since the value associated with the key 2 is the student instance with the name "Emma", the output will be "Emma".

Key Points:
- The code defines a Student class with two attributes: name and roll_number.
- The code creates a list of Student instances and populates it with three students.
- The code creates a dictionary using a dictionary comprehension, where the roll number is the key and the student instance is the value.
- The code prints the name of the student with a roll number of 2 from the dictionary.

In a hash table, collisions can occur when two different keys hash to the same:
  • a)
    index
  • b)
    bucket
  • c)
    block
  • d)
    address
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

In a hash table, collisions occur when two different keys hash to the same bucket. A bucket is a container that holds elements with the same hash value.

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
print(my_tuple[1:])
What will be the output of the above code?
  • a)
    (1, 2, 3)
  • b)
    (1,)
  • c)
    (2, 3)
  • d)
    (2,)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanuj Arora answered
The code prints a slice of the tuple my_tuple starting from index 1. The slice [1:] includes all elements from index 1 to the end, resulting in (2, 3).

Which of the following operations is performed during the Query Processing phase in a DBMS?
  • a)
    Data insertion
  • b)
    Data deletion
  • c)
    Data retrieval
  • d)
    Data modification
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Query Processing involves various steps, including query parsing, query optimization, and query execution. Data retrieval is one of the operations performed during the query execution phase.

my_string = "Hello, World!"
print(my_string.lower())
What will be the output of the above code?
  • a)
    "hello, world!"
  • b)
    "Hello, World!"
  • c)
    "HELLO, WORLD!"
  • d)
    "H"
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanuj Arora answered
The lower() method is used to convert all characters in a string to lowercase. The code converts the string my_string to lowercase, resulting in "hello, world!".

my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
my_set.add(3)
print(len(my_set))
What will be the output of the above code?
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    5
  • c)
    6
  • d)
    Error: 'set' object has no attribute 'add'
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Diksha Sharma answered
The code adds the value 3 to the set my_set. However, since sets only store unique elements, the duplicate value is not added. Therefore, the length of my_set remains 4.

Which of the following indexing techniques is commonly used for fast searching in a database?
  • a)
    B-tree indexing
  • b)
    Sequential indexing
  • c)
    Linear indexing
  • d)
    Hash indexing
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

TeamUnknown answered
B-tree indexing is commonly used for fast searching in a database. It organizes data in a balanced tree structure, allowing efficient retrieval based on the indexed key values.
