Part B
Answer Three out of four Questions. Each question carries 20 marks.
Question 1
1) What is de-normalization? (5 Marks)
2) Explain the importance of de-normalization in database creation? (5 Marks)
3) Explain the steps of database normalization. (5 Marks)
4) Normalize the below invoice and find 1NF,2NF and 3NF (5 Marks)
1)Database optimization is an essential step to improve website performance. Typically, developers
normalize a relational database, meaning they restructure it to reduce data redundancy and
enhance data integrity. However, sometimes normalizing a database isn’t enough, so to improve
database performance even further developers go the other way around and resort to database
denormalization.

2) Will enhance query performance

Typically, a normalized database requires joining a lot of tables to fetch queries; but the more joins,
the slower the query. As a countermeasure, you can add redundancy to a database by copying values
between parent and child tables and, therefore, reducing the number of joins required for a query.

Will make a database more convenient to manage

A normalized database doesn’t have calculated values that are essential for applications. Calculating
these values on-the-fly would require time, slowing down query execution.

You can denormalize a database to provide calculated values. Once they’re generated and added to
tables, downstream programmers can easily create their own reports and queries without having in-
depth knowledge of the app’s code or API.

Will facilitate and accelerate reporting

Often, applications need to provide a lot of analytical and statistical information. Generating reports
from live data is time-consuming and can negatively impact overall system performance.

Denormalizing your database can help you meet this challenge. Suppose you need to provide a total
sales summary for one or many users; a normalized database would aggregate and calculate all invoice
details multiple times. Needless to say, this would be quite time-consuming, so to speed up this
process, you could maintain the year-to-date sales summary in a table storing user details.

3)

Arranging data into logical groupings such that each group describes a small part of the whole;
minimizing the amount of duplicate data stored in a database; organizing the data such that, when
you modify it, you make the change in only one place; and building a database in which you can access
and manipulate the data quickly and efficiently without compromising the integrity of the data in
storage.

As per First Normal Form, no two Rows of data must contain repeating group of information i.e each
set of column must have a unique value, such that multiple columns cannot be used to fetch the same
row.

As per the Second Normal Form there must not be any partial dependency of any column on primary
key.

Third Normal form applies that every non-prime attribute of table must be dependent on primary key,
or we can say that, there should not be the case that a non-prime attribute is determined by another
non-prime attribute.

4)

UNF:

1NF
2NF

3NF
Question 2

a) A namespace is designed for providing a way to keep one set of names separate from
another. The class names declared in one namespace does not conflict with the same class
names declared in another.

b) How encapsulation is implemented in C#? (5 Marks)

Encapsulation is implemented by using access specifiers. An access specifier defines the
scope and visibility of a class member. C# supports the following access specifiers −
Public
Private
Protected
Internal
Protected internal

c)

used with button controls.

Picker used with date and time picker controls.

4) Write a database application only to INSERT the details of customer table details

{
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection();
 conn.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data
Source=C:\Users\kenny\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Copy
Cegees\Cegees\Cegees\Customer.accdb";

String cutomerid = TEXTID.Text;

String customername = TEXTName.Text;
String customerContact=TxtContact.Text;

OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("INSERT into Customer (cid,

cname,contactNum) Values(@cutomerid, @customername,@customerContact)");

cmd.Connection = conn;

conn.Open();

if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
{
cmd.Parameters.Add("@cutomerid", OleDbType.VarChar).Value =
cutomerid;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@customername", OleDbType.VarChar).Value =
customername;

cmd.Parameters.Add("@customerContact", OleDbType.VarChar).Value =
customerContact;

try
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("Data Added");
conn.Close();
}
catch (OleDbException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Source);
conn.Close();
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Connection Failed");
}
}
}
} (5 Marks)

Question 3

1) Compare ASP with ASP.NET (5 Marks)

The most important difference between ASP and ASP.Net is that ASP uses interpreted VBScript or
JScript, and ASP.net uses any .Net language (including VB.Net, C#, J#, etc.) compiled. ASP 3.0 left all
its code in the front of the application. ... ASP is mostly written using VB Script and HTML intermixed.

2) What is MVC Architecture ? (5Marks)

Model View Controller or MVC as it is popularly called, is a software design pattern for developing
web applications. A Model View Controller pattern is made up of the following three parts −

• Model − The lowest level of the pattern which is responsible for maintaining data.
• View − This is responsible for displaying all or a portion of the data to the user.
• Controller − Software Code that controls the interactions between the Model and View.

c)

Server-Side Validation

In the Server-Side Validation, the input submitted by the user is being sent to the server and validated
using one of server-side scripting languages such as ASP.Net, PHP etc. After the validation process on
the Server Side, the feedback is sent back to the client by a new dynamically generated web page. It
is better to validate user input on Server Side because you can protect against the malicious users,
who can easily bypass your Client-Side scripting language and submit dangerous input to the server.

Client-Side Validation

In the Client-Side Validation, you can provide a better user experience by responding quickly at the
browser level. When you perform a Client-Side Validation, all the user inputs validated in the user's
browser itself. Client-Side validation does not require a round trip to the server, so the network traffic
which will help your server perform better. This type of validation is done on the browser side using
script languages such as JavaScript, VBScript or HTML5 attributes.
