The first four columns show the age and salary of a potential customer and the Buys_computer column shows whether the person buys a computer. We want to use this data to construct a decision tree that helps predict whether a perso

The three lev

11、els are physical level, logical level and view level. Physical level describes all relations that are stored in the database. Logical level summarizes how the relations are actually stored on secondary storage devices. Each view level consists of a collection of one or more views and relations from

12、the conceptual level.There are actually two mappings: the conceptual/internal mapping and the external/conceptual mapping. The conceptual/internal mapping lies between the conceptual and internal levels. If the structure of the stored database is changed, then the conceptual/ internal mapping must a

13、lso be changed accordingly so that the view from the conceptual level remains constant. It is this mapping that provides physical data independence for the database.The external/conceptual view lies between the external and conceptual levels. If the structure of the database at the conceptual level

14、is changed, then the external/conceptual mapping must change accordingly so the view from the external level remains constant. It is this mapping that provides logical data independence for the database.2. Primary key constraints assure that the keys of any two records are not same in a table. The p

15、rimary key constraints enforce the entity integrity of the table.Foreign key constraints control the data that can be stored in the foreign key table, it also controls changes to data in the primary key table. This constraint enforces referential integrity by ensuring that changes cannot be mad

16、e to data in the primary key table if those changes invalidate the link to data in the foreign key table. 3. The LEFT OUTER JOIN includes all rows in the left table in the results, whether or not there is a match on the join column in the right table. FULL OUTER JOIN includes all

17、 rows from both tables, regardless of whether or not the other table has a matching value.This INNER JOIN is known as an equi-join. It returns all the columns in both tables, and returns only the rows for which there is an equal value in the join column.4.1）(A,D) is the primary key for R2) R1NF3) R1

18、(A,B,E) ,R2(B,C,F),R3(C,D,G)5. Atomicity: This property guarantees that a set of records that are part of a transaction is indivisible. Thus either all operations of the transaction are properly reflected in the database or none are.Consistency: Database consistency is the property that every transa

19、ction sees a consistent database instance. Database consistency follows from transaction atomicity, isolation, and transaction consistency.Isolation: Although multiple transactions may execute concurrently, each transaction must be unaware of other concurrently executing transactions. Intermediate t

20、ransaction results must be hidden from other concurrently executed transactions. Durability: After a transaction completes successfully, the changes it has made to the database persist, even if there are system failures.6.1)pruducenmm1mm1musicianinstrumentalbumsongperformplaycontainn2)musician (SSN,
