Time: 3 Hours Max Marks: 80

Answer any FIVE questions

All questions carry equal marks

***********

1. What are the types of languages a database system provides? Explain with examples. (16)

2. A company database needs to store information about employees( ssn, name,

designation, salary, address, phone), departments(dno, dname, budget) and children of employees(name, age). Employee works in departments; each department is managed by an employee, a child must be identified uniquely by name when the parent(who is an employee; assume that only one parent works for the company) is known. We are not interested in information about child once the parent leaves the organization. Draw an ER diagram that captures this information. (16)

(branch name, branch city, assets), customer (customer name, customer street, customer city), Loan (branch name, loan number, amount), Borrower (customer name, Loan number), Account (branch name, account number, balance), Depositor (Customer name, account number)

i. find the names of all customers whose street address include substring ’Main’

ii. Find average balance for each customer who lives in Harrison and having at least three accounts?

iii. Find the customers from all branches who have maximum loan or deposit in that branch.
