FAQs on MCQ with Answer- Database Management System (DBMS) - IT & Software

1. What is a Database Management System (DBMS)?
Ans. A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software application that allows users to manage, manipulate, and organize data in a database. It provides an interface for users to interact with the database, allowing them to create, retrieve, update, and delete data.
2. What are the advantages of using a DBMS?
Ans. Some advantages of using a DBMS include: - Data sharing: DBMS allows multiple users to access and share data simultaneously, ensuring data consistency and reducing data duplication. - Data security: DBMS provides built-in security measures to protect data from unauthorized access and ensure data integrity. - Data integrity: DBMS enforces data integrity constraints, such as primary key and foreign key constraints, to maintain the accuracy and reliability of data. - Data independence: DBMS separates the logical view of data from the physical storage, allowing changes in the database structure without affecting the applications that use the data. - Data consistency: DBMS ensures that data remains consistent and valid by enforcing integrity constraints and providing mechanisms for concurrent access and transaction management.
3. What are the different types of DBMS models?
Ans. There are several types of DBMS models, including: - Relational model: This model organizes data into tables with rows and columns, where relationships between tables are established using primary and foreign keys. - Hierarchical model: This model represents data in a tree-like structure, where each record has a parent-child relationship. - Network model: This model also represents data with a network-like structure, allowing multiple records to have multiple parent and child relationships. - Object-oriented model: This model organizes data into objects, which can have attributes and methods, providing more flexibility in data representation. - NoSQL model: This model is designed for handling large volumes of unstructured and semi-structured data, providing high scalability and performance.
4. What is the role of a Database Administrator (DBA) in a DBMS?
Ans. A Database Administrator (DBA) is responsible for managing and maintaining the database system. Their role includes tasks such as: - Database design: DBAs design the structure and organization of the database, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval of data. - Security management: DBAs implement security measures to protect the database from unauthorized access, data breaches, and data loss. - Performance tuning: DBAs optimize the performance of the database by monitoring and fine-tuning various parameters, such as indexing, query optimization, and resource allocation. - Backup and recovery: DBAs create backup strategies and implement recovery procedures to ensure data can be restored in case of system failures or data corruption. - User management: DBAs manage user accounts, permissions, and access levels, ensuring that users have appropriate privileges to access and modify the data.
5. What are the common database languages used in a DBMS?
Ans. The common database languages used in a DBMS are: - Structured Query Language (SQL): SQL is a standard language used for managing relational databases. It provides syntax and commands for creating, querying, updating, and deleting data in a database. - Data Definition Language (DDL): DDL is a subset of SQL used for defining and managing database objects, such as tables, views, indexes, and constraints. - Data Manipulation Language (DML): DML is another subset of SQL used for manipulating data in a database, including inserting, updating, and deleting records. - Data Control Language (DCL): DCL is used for managing user permissions and access control in a database, allowing DBAs to grant or revoke privileges to users. - Transaction Control Language (TCL): TCL is used for managing database transactions, providing commands to commit or rollback changes made to the data.
