Program Plan Intro

Industrial Supply Company Scenario:

  • A data warehouse has to be created by the company where management can gain a single corporate-wide view of critical sales information for identifying best-selling products in specific geographic areas, sales trends as well as key customers.
  • The information regarding sales and products are stored in both the divisional sales system that runs on a UNIX server and a corporate sales system that runs on an IBM mainframe.
  • The main aim is to create a single standard format, which consolidates these data from both the systems.

Explanation of Solution

Easiness of creating a database with a single standard format:

  • It is ideally easy to create a database with a single standard format. When a new database is constructed, data quality audits and data cleansing must be performed.
  • Thee data quality suits and data cleansing can correct any redundancies and inaccuracies in the current systems.
  • By using the data cleansing software, the company can combine and integrate the data from all the systems into a single standard format, which is uniform throughout the whole company...

Explanation of Solution

Problem Solving:

  • Database specialists help to solve the problems by performing the data quality audits and database cleansing. It also helps to establish an information policy and develop the new database...

You are working with a database table that contains customer data. The table includes columns about customer location such as city, state, and country. You want to retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name. You decide to use the SUBSTR function to retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name, and use the AS command to store the result in a new column called new_country.  You write the SQL query below. Add a statement to your SQL query that will retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name and store the result in a new column as new_country.
We are considering the RSA encryption scheme. The involved numbers are small, so the communication is insecure.  Alice's public key (n,public_key) is (247,7). A code breaker manages to factories  247 = 13 x 19  Determine Alice's secret key. To solve the problem, you need not use the extended Euclid algorithm, but you may assume that her private key is one of the following numbers 31,35,55,59,77,89.
Consider the following Turing Machine (TM). Does the TM halt if it begins on the empty tape? If it halts, after how many steps? Does the TM halt if it begins on a tape that contains a single letter A followed by blanks? Justify your answer.
