Define Superkey, Key, Candidate Key and Primary Key in one or two lines each.

SHORT Medium

Information Technology (802) · Class 12 · Sep 26, 2026

Show answer

Explanation: Superkey: a set of attributes for which no two tuples have the same combination of values. Key (Candidate Key): a minimal superkey — removing any attribute would cause it to lose uniqueness. Candidate Key: any such minimal key of a relation (a relation may have several). Primary Key: the candidate key chosen to uniquely identify tuples in the relation.

Explain the five types of constraints in the relational model with a suitable example for each.

LONG Hard

Information Technology (802) · Class 12 · Sep 26, 2026

Show answer

Explanation: Domain Constraint: attribute values must come from the attribute's domain (e.g., Employee_ID must be a 4-digit number). Key Constraint: relates to superkeys, keys, candidate keys, and primary keys ensuring uniqueness of tuples. Null Value Constraint: certain attributes (e.g., Name) may be constrained to NOT NULL. Entity Integrity Constraint: the primary key of a relation cannot be NULL, since it must uniquely identify each tuple. Referential Integrity Constraint: a foreign key in one relation (R1) must either match a primary key value in the referenced relation (R2) or be NULL, ensuring consistency between related relations (e.g., Dept_No in Teacher referencing Dept_ID in Department).
