Explanation of Solution

Database by itself is not very useful to business user:

A database contains all the necessary information that is required for processing the business.

  • The database is not useful for the business user since the contents that are present in them are structured in an unorganized way.
  • The data stored in the database is present in the raw form and hence database is not ideal for the users.

Four elements of database application:

The four elements of database applications that are listed below:

  • Forms
  • Reports
  • Queries
  • Application Programs.

Purpose of the elements of database application:

The purpose of the each element is described below:

Forms:

The data present in the database can be viewed, inserted, updated and deleted using the elements.

Let us consider the example:

  • Consider the student mark that needs to updates in the database.
  • The form can be used to enter the marks scored by the user and the mark entered by the user can be viewed by the user through forms.
  • Consider the mark that is entered by the user needs to be corrected and it can be updated through forms.
  • Any student record that is not required can be deleted through forms.

Reports:

The data that are stored in the database are represented in the structural format by performing sorting, grouping, filtering and through other data manipulation process.

Let us consider the example:

A student record whose score can be viewed from highest to lowest order by using the sorting operation.

Queries:

The data values can be retrieved based on the search made by the user.

Let us consider the example:

A student whose score is greater than “90” can be viewed using the query given by the user.

Application Programs:

Application programs are used to provide security to the data, maintaining the consistency of the data and to process special purpose.

Let us consider the example:

The student data can be corrected only by the teacher who enters it the data is secured in such a way no student cannot modify the data present in the database...

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
