Program Plan Intro
Relational
- A database Management System is a software application for managing the database in a well-organized form.
- It provides a systematic way to create, retrieve and update the database.
- In DBMS, the schema explains the logical structure of the data base system.
- It provides the capability to the user to self-analyze the database and perform the necessary operations.
- A relational database comprises of rectangular tables known as relations.
- Every row in relation is known as tuple.
- Each column in table is termed as field or attribute.
- It describes the characteristics of entity represented by corresponding tuple.
Relational database design process:
- It is designed to meet requirements of particular application.
- There are no two databases that are alike.
- The design choice is based on user preference.
- The steps used in this process includes:
- Step 1 – Define the database purpose
- Step 2 – Gather data and organize in table
- Step 3 – Refine and normalize design, it includes adding columns, creating new relation and splitting large relation into smaller relations.

The distinction between a weak and a strong entity set is best explained here.
Transform an entity-relationship (E-R) diagraminto an equivalent set of well-structured(normalized) relations.
Distinguish between the ways in which functional dependencies may be utilized to express the following:
• Between the entity sets student and teacher, there is a one-to-one relationship set that exists.• There is a many-to-one connection set between the entity setsstudent and teacher, which is defined as
