What are different transaction isolation levels in DBMS?
In case of transaction the term ACID has been used significantly to state some of important properties that a transaction must follow. We all know ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability and these properties collectively called as ACID Properties.Properties of transactionDatabase system ensures ACID property −Atomicity − Either all or none of the transaction operation is done.Consistency − A transaction transfer from one consistent (correct) state to another consistent state.Isolation − A transaction is isolated from other transactions. i.e. A transaction is not affected by another transaction. Although multiple transactions execute concurrently it must appear as if the ...
Read MoreExplain the concept of recoverability in DBMS
The characteristics of non-serializable schedules are as follows −The transactions may or may not be consistent.The transactions may or may not be recoverable.So, now let’s talk about recoverability schedules.We all know that recoverable and irrecoverable are non-serializable techniques, Irrecoverable schedulesIf a transaction does a dirty read operation from an uncommitted transaction and commits before the transaction from where it has read the value, then such a schedule is called an irrecoverable schedule.ExampleLet us consider a two transaction schedules as shown below −T1T2Read(A)Write(A)-Read(A) ///Dirty Read-Write(A)-Commit-RollbackThe above schedule is a irrecoverable because of the reasons mentioned below −The transaction T2 which is ...
Read MoreWhat are the different types of schedules in DBMS?
A schedule is defined as an execution sequence of transactions. A schedule maintains the order of the operation in each individual transaction. A schedule is the arrangement of transaction operations. A schedule may contain a set of transactions. We already know that a transaction is a set of operations. To run transactions concurrently, we arrange or schedule their operations in an interleaved fashion.Schedules are divided into 2 categories, which are as follows −Serial ScheduleNon-serial ScheduleThe categories of schedules are given below in a form of chart −Serial scheduleTransactions present in this schedule are executed serially, after the instruction of Ti ...
Read MoreWhat is RAID in DBMS?
Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) combines multiple small, inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives which yields performance more than that of a Single Large Expensive Drive (SLED). RAID is also called Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.Storing the same data in different disk increases the fault-tolerance.The array of Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) = MTBF of an individual drive, which is divided by the number of drives in the array. Because of this reason, the MTBF of an array of drives are too low for many application requirements.Types of RAIDThe various types of RAID are explained below ...
Read MoreExplain the concept of magnetic disk with the help of a diagram(DBMS)
Magnetic disk is the secondary storage device used to support direct access to a desired location.Parts in Magnetic diskThe different parts that are present in magnetic disk or hard disk are explained below. All these parts are helpful to read, write and store the data in the hard disk.Disk blocks − The unit data transfer between disk and main memory is a block. A disk block is a contiguous sequence of bytes.Track − Blocks are arranged in concentric rings called tracks.Sectors − A sector is the smallest unit of information that can be read from or written to disk: for ...
Read MoreWhat is shadow paging in DBMS?
Shadow paging is one of the techniques that is used to recover from failure. We all know that recovery means to get back the information, which is lost. It helps to maintain database consistency in case of failure.Concept of shadow pagingNow let see the concept of shadow paging step by step −Step 1 − Page is a segment of memory. Page table is an index of pages. Each table entry points to a page on the disk.Step 2 − Two page tables are used during the life of a transaction: the current page table and the shadow page table. Shadow ...
Read MoreWrite a query to store and retrieve book information in the database (DBMS)?
Use the create command to create a table. Insert the values that are book information into the created database table using insert command.If we want to view or retrieve the inserted data use the select command.Step 1Create a book table in database as follows −The create command is used to create table, view, indexSyntaxThe syntax for the create command is as follows −Create table tablename(col1 datatype(size), col2 datatype(size), ……….colN datatype(size));ExampleUse the below mentioned command −create table book (bookname varchar(30), authorname varchar(30), noofcopies number(20));The output is the table created as shown below −BooknameAuthornamenoofcopiesStep 2Describe − The command used to describe the ...

Read MoreWhat are the different phases of database development Life cycle (DBMS)?
The different phases of database development life cycle (DDLC) in the Database Management System (DBMS) are explained below −Requirement analysis.Database design.Evaluation and selection.Logical database design.Physical database design.Implementation.Data loading.Testing and performance tuning.Operation.Maintenance.Now, let us understand these phases one by one.Requirement AnalysisThe most important step in implementing a database system is to find out what is needed i.e what type of a database is required for the business organization, daily volume of data, how much data needs to be stored in the master files etc.In order to collect all this information, a database analyst spends a lot of time within the business ...
