Chapter 3, Problem 10P
Program Plan Intro

Primary Key:

A primary key in a database table is a field in the table that uniquely identifies every row or record present in the database table.

Example:

  • Students in Universities are assigned a unique registration number.
  • Therefore, in a STUDENT database table, the attribute “reg_no” acts as primary key.

Foreign Key:

Foreign Key is a column in a relational database table which provides a relation between two tables. It provides a cross reference between tables by pointing to primary key of another table.

Example:

  • In STUDENT database table, the attribute “reg_no” acts as primary key and in COURSE database table in which the student selects his or her course, the same “reg_no” acts as foreign key for the STUDENT table.

the nagle algorithm, built into most tcp implementations, requires the sender to hold a partial segment's worth of data (even if pushed) until either a full segment accumulates or the most recent outstanding ack arrives. (a) suppose the letters abcdefghi are sent, one per second, over a tcp connection with an rtt of 4.1 seconds. draw a timeline indicating when each packet is sent and what it contains.
