CLASS 8 DBMS CHAPTER 2
Answer the following questions.
1. Q1 List the types of DBMS. Which type is the most
commonly used database and why?
ANS1. Following are the types of DBMS:- 1. Flat file Database
2. Relational Database
Relational Database Management System
(RDBMS) is the most commonly used database because in RDBMS multiple tables are
related to each other by using common fields.
2. Q2 Why should one update a database regularly?
Ans2.
Updating a database regularly is
important because:
- To Keep Information Accurate: Data can change over time. For example, phone numbers,
addresses, or prices may change. Regular updates keep the database
correct.
- To Add New Data:
New information is always being created. Adding it to the database keeps
it complete and useful.
- To Remove Old or Useless Data: Outdated or incorrect data can cause confusion.
Removing it helps keep the database clean and efficient.
- To Improve Performance: A well-maintained and updated database works faster
and better.
3. Q3. How does a DBMS eliminate inconsistency from the
data?
Ans3. The data that appear more than once are updated automatically. Hence, data consistency is maintained. For example, change in the phone number of a patient will reflect in the personal details as well as in the bill.
4. Q4. Differentiate between short text and long text
data types.
