Program Plan Intro

Integrity constraints:

The limitations in the relational data model which is used to maintain the data’s accuracy and maintain its integrity is termed as integrity constraints.

In SQL CREATE TABLE commands, the types of integrity constraints enforced when a primary key is declared are:

  • Entity integrity
  • Referential integrity

Primary key:

Primary key is used to identify the unique record from a collection of records.

  • To identify each record in a table, at least there must be one data field which should be unique. That is, corresponding data field of every record should be unique. It is called a primary key.
  • To relate two tables, a primary key field in one table is added to the related table, and it is called foreign key.

Explanation of Solution

Entity integrity:

  • When creating a table, the primary key in the table must be assured and the attributes in the table should not be null.
  • The values added in the attribute should be valid.
  • Hence, NOT NULL and PRIMARY KEY clause in the SQL CREATE TABLE command enforces entity integrity.

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'…
