Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.13RQ
Program Plan Intro
Primary key:
- In relational
databases , a primary key is a key that is used for identifying and defining the characteristics uniquely of each row. - A primary key may have a single attribute or a multiple attributes.
- Let us consider the “Student” table that consists of “Student_ID”, “First_Name”, “Last_Name”, and “Course_ID” as attributes.
- Student_ID act as the primary key.
Candidate key:
- Candidate key is an attribute or set of attributes from which a primary key can be selected.
- It helps to identify the data uniquely from the table or relation without referring any other data.
- One or more candidate keys can be present in a table or relation, but only one key is referred to as the primary key.
- Candidate key must satisfy the subset of the properties of relation.

Question D.4: FIFO Page Replacement
Consider the following page reference string:
e, c, b, e, a, g, d, c, e, g, d, a
Considering 4 frames, fill in the following table and then answer how many page faults would occur with the
FIFO page replacement algorithm.
RS: reference string; FO: frame 0, F1: frame 1, etc.
Hint: all frames are initially empty, so your first unique pages will all cost one fault each.

Consider a system that uses a fixed-partition scheme, with equal partitions of size 2" bytes, and the main
memory has 2¹8 bytes. A process table is maintained with a pointer to the resident partition for each resident
process. How many bits are required for the pointer in the process table? Show all your steps.

Re-write the withdraw() method in the CheckingAccount class so that it first checks if the withdrawal amount is less than the current balance plus the overdraft limit. If it is, the withdrawal is allowed and the balance is updated. If not, the method should return an error message "Insufficient funds".
