Answer the following questions: [9x2=18]
a)
Differentiate between client server architecture and
peer to peer architecture.
Ans: The difference between client server architecture
and peer to peer architecture are:
|
Client/ server network |
Peer-to-Peer network |
|
Client/ server network is a type of network model where at
least one computer is designed as a server and other computers on the network
called clients or workstations. |
Peer-to-Peer network is a type of network model where all
the computers have equal responsibilities on the network |
|
It provides central security administration and the
network administrator is responsible for data security and other resources
management of the network. |
It lacks centralized network administration, where the
network administrator needs to manage security on each computer. It provides
no reliable security and might put data in higher risks

Examples of
DBMS software
are : MS-Access, Oracle, Fox pro, dBase etc.
g)
Define data redundancy. How can it be reduced?
Ans: Data redundancy refers to the repetition or
duplication of data within a database.
It can be reduced by normalizing the database,
eliminating duplicate data and storing it in separate tables, and using foreign
keys to establish relationships between the tables.
h)
What is data sorting? Write its two advantages.
Ans: Sorting refers to
the process of organizing data in a specific order (ascending or descending)
based on one or more fields in a table, query, or report.
Any two
advantages of using it are:
Sorting
helps to organize data and make it easier to find and retrieve specific
information.
