CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS

1. Name four features or tasks of a DBMS. Provide some examples on how a database supports data integrity?
2. What would we use a parameterized SQL statement? What information must be provided for each parameter?
3. How is a transaction created? Which classes are involved? What methods can be invoked at the conclusion of a transaction?
4. What is the difference between a data table row item and a DataGridView cell?
5. What is the difference between transaction processing and concurrency checking?
6. What is the difference between Optimistic and Pessimistic concurrency? What are the techniques used for each?

CLASS PROPERTY QUESTION

7. What is the key property of the Connection Class. What information is held in that property?
8. What property of the command class indicates whether a Stored Procedure should be used?
9. What property of the data table row class indicates whether the row has been added, deleted or modified?
10. What property of DataGridView enables us to choose only the columns we want?
11. Which property of the data adapter determines if an error is generated for a suspected concurrency problem?

CLASS CODE QUESTIONS

12. Why do we clear a data table within an event handler that would fill the data table?
13. What is the purpose of this statement:DataGridView1.DataSource = mydt
14. What class has a ContinueUpdateonErrror method? What does it do?

Modify the code provided to:
a) Delete a record
b) Enable the program to read uncommitted data from another instance of the same application that has initiated a transaction.

These solutions may offer step-by-step problem-solving explanations or good writing examples that include modern styles of formatting and construction of bibliographies out of text citations and references. Students may use these solutions for personal skill-building and practice. Unethical use is strictly forbidden.

1. Name four features or tasks of a DBMS. Provide some examples on how a database supports data integrity?
a. Data Dictionary Management, Data Storage Management, Security Management, Data Integrity Management, Database Access Languages and Application Programming Interfaces.
b. Entity integrity is supported by primary key, such that each entry has unique representer. Referential integrity is maintained usually by foreign key, i.e. for each relation, referencing object is uniquely determined
2. What would we use a parameterized SQL statement? What information must be provided for each parameter?
a. (meaning why would we use) To unify the statements and prevent some attacks like SQL injection. And for each parameter one should provide the real value (i.e. data)
3. How is a transaction created? Which classes are involved? What methods can be invoked at the conclusion of a transaction?
a. By invoking a COMMIT command after series of SQL commands. After transaction is commited, one can call ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT or SET NAME...
