(a) Department address of every employee
(b) Employees whose name is the same as their department name
(c) The sum of all employees’ salaries

3.(a) What are advantages of DBMS over traditional file based systems? [3]
(b) Discuss the roles of Data Analyst and Application Programmer. [2]
4. Consider the following schema to write queries in relational Algebra: [5]
Sailor(sid, sname, age, rating)
Boats(bid, bname, bcolor)
Reserves(sid,bid,day)
a. Find id of the boats reserved by sailor with id 567.
b. Find the names of the sailors who reserved ‘red’ boats.
c. Find the boats which have at least two reservations by different
sailors.

5. A University wants to maintain a database to store the information about their
students, courses, lecturers, cabins, and subjects. The university hired a leading
consultancy firm for the project. After a detailed analysis, the development team
came up with the following design:
I. For students, the database stores the details like name, roll, dob, age, hobby, and
address. The address consists of door_no, street_name, city, state, and pin. A student
can register for many courses where each course has a course_id, and course_name.
Similarly, a course can be taken by many students.

II. Each lecturer, with a lect_id, lect_name, email, and contact_no, is assigned with a
cabin, with cabin_no, floor. However, a cabin can be allotted to 2 lecturers on
sharing basis.

III. A lecturer can teach only one subject, where the subject has a subject_id,
subject_name, and duration. However, a subject can be taught by many lecturers.

IV. Each lecturer has a salary history which contains amt_credited, credit_date, and
deductions.
V. Each Course consists of many subjects , however one subject can belongs to
multiple courses.
VI. The Lecturers are managing the students.
A. Draw ER diagram for the above scenario.
B. Convert the ER diagram into relational schema

6. Consider a schema with two relations, R(A, B) and S(B, C), where all values [5]
are integers. Make no assumptions about keys. Consider the following three
relational algebra expressions:

Two of the three expressions are equivalent (i.e., produce the same answer on
all databases), while one of them can produce a different answer. Which
query can produce a different answer? Give the simplest database instance
you can think of where a different answer is produced.
