Question 1 – Database Catalogue Functions, and Implementation

(a)

Five features of the ORACLE database catalogue are tables, views, indexes, integrity
constraints and triggers.
 Tables: A table is the basic unit of data storage in a oracle database. Table data is stored in
rows and columns. Every table is defined with a table name and set of columns.
 Views: A view is a custom-tailored presentation of the data in one or more tables. Views do
not actually contain or store data; rather, they derive their data from the tables on which
they are based, referred to as the base tables of the views.
 Indexes: Indexes are optional structures associated with tables, which can be created to
increase the performance of data retrieval. Indexes are created on one or more columns of a
table.
 Integrity Constraints: An integrity constraint is a declarative way to define a business rule for
a column of a table. An integrity constraint is a statement about a table's data that is always
true.
 Triggers: Triggers are defined actions that act on data under certain conditions when data in
table is changed.

Question 2 – Data Management, Ethics and Security of Data in the

Capacity of Database Administrator

(a)SQL Injection
An SQL injection is known as a computer attack malicious code which is inserted in a
loosely designed application and then passed to the backend database. The malicious data
then produces database query results or actions that should never have been executed.

Question 3 – Data Warehousing, Cloud Computing, NoSQL
Databases

(a)Reasons For Why Swenson’s Should Adopt A Cloud Delivered Solution 


A cloud delivered solution give the users to access the data that they need to analyse most
often. It also provide data in a form that matches the collective view of the data by a group of
users in a department or business application area. A cloud delivered solution improve end-
user response time due to the reduction in the volume of data to be accessed. It also provide
appropriately structured data as dictated by the requirements of the end. Adopting cloud
delivered solution is simpler compared with establishing an enterprise data warehouse
(EDW). The cost of implementing cloud delivered solution is normally less than that required
to establish a EDW. The future users of a data mart are more easily defined and targeted to
obtain support for a data mart than an enterprise-wide data warehouse project.
