DBMS Lab Viva Preparation Guide

1. Important Viva Questions with SQL Examples

What is DBMS?
DBMS stands for Database Management System. It is software for storing and managing
data efficiently.

How to CREATE a table with PRIMARY KEY?


CREATE TABLE Students (
student_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50),
age INT
);

How to create a table with FOREIGN KEY?


CREATE TABLE Courses (
course_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
course_name VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE Enrollments (


student_id INT,
course_id INT,
FOREIGN KEY (student_id) REFERENCES Students(student_id),
FOREIGN KEY (course_id) REFERENCES Courses(course_id)
);

Basic SQL Operations:


INSERT INTO Students (student_id, name, age)
VALUES (1, 'John', 20);

SELECT * FROM Students;

UPDATE Students
SET age = 21
WHERE student_id = 1;

DELETE FROM Students


WHERE student_id = 1;
ALTER table (add/delete column, add keys):
ALTER TABLE Students ADD email VARCHAR(100);
ALTER TABLE Students DROP COLUMN email;
ALTER TABLE Students ADD PRIMARY KEY (student_id);
ALTER TABLE Enrollments ADD CONSTRAINT fk_student FOREIGN KEY (student_id)
REFERENCES Students(student_id);

Joins Example:
SELECT Students.name, Courses.course_name
FROM Students
JOIN Enrollments ON Students.student_id = Enrollments.student_id
JOIN Courses ON Enrollments.course_id = Courses.course_id;

View Example:
CREATE VIEW StudentCourses AS
SELECT Students.name, Courses.course_name
FROM Students
JOIN Enrollments ON Students.student_id = Enrollments.student_id
JOIN Courses ON Enrollments.course_id = Courses.course_id;

Transactions:
START TRANSACTION;

UPDATE Students SET age = 22 WHERE student_id = 1;


DELETE FROM Enrollments WHERE student_id = 1;

COMMIT;

2. Case Study Example: Library Management System


Entities: Books, Members, Borrow

SQL Schema:

CREATE TABLE Books (


book_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(100),
author VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE Members (


member_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50),
join_date DATE
);

CREATE TABLE Borrow (


borrow_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
book_id INT,
member_id INT,
borrow_date DATE,
FOREIGN KEY (book_id) REFERENCES Books(book_id),
FOREIGN KEY (member_id) REFERENCES Members(member_id)
);

Sample Query: List all borrowed books

SELECT Members.name, Books.title, Borrow.borrow_date


FROM Borrow
JOIN Members ON Borrow.member_id = Members.member_id
JOIN Books ON Borrow.book_id = Books.book_id;
