Q1. Identify the statements correct or incorrect justify in either case: (5)

1. “Hash based indexing keeps the index entries in B-tree structure”.
2. “Just like primary key primary index has to be unique always”.

First statement is incorrect as the correct one is: page 227

Index entries kept in hash organized tables rather than B-tree structures.

Second statement is also incorrect the correct one is: page 229

Primary Key (PK) & Primary Index (PI): PK is ALWAYS unique. PI can be unique, but does not have to be.

Q2. What are different issues during data acquisition and cleansing in agricultural data warehouse? (5) page 340

Solution:

Step-6: Why the issues?

1. Hand recordings by the scouts at the field level.
2. Typing hand recordings into data sheets at the DPWQCP office.
3. Photocopying of the typed sheets by DPWQCP personnel.
4. Data entry or digitization by hired data entry operators.

Q3. How gender guide is used for large no of records if gender is missing? (5) page 457

Gender_guide contains only two columns name and gender. Populate Gender_guide table by a query for selecting all distinct first names from student table. Then manually placing their gender. This table can serve us as guide by telling what can be the gender against this particular name. For example if we have hundred students in our database with first name equal to ‘Muhammed’. Then in our Gender_guide table we will have just one entry ‘Muhammed’ and we will manually set the gender as ‘Male’ against ‘Muhammed’. Now to fill missing genders in exception table we will just do a inner join on Error table and Gender_guide table.

Q9. What are problem you will face if low priority is given to cube construction? (2)

Answer: page 313

Low priority for OLAP Cube Construction Make sure your OLAP cube-building or pre-calculation process is optimized and given the right priority. It is common for the data warehouse to be on the bottom of the nightly batch loads, and after the loading the DWH, usually there isn't much time left for the OLAP cube to be refreshed. As a result, it is worthwhile to experiment with the OLAP cube generation paths to ensure optimal performance.

Q10. Is there any fixed strategy to standardize the column? (2) page 480

There are no fixed strategies to standardize the columns.

Q11. What is unsupervised learning in Data Mining? (2) page 271

Unsupervised learning where you don’t know the number of clusters and obviously no idea about their attributes too. In other words you are not guiding in any way the DM process for performing the DM, no guidance and no input.

Q12. Which DML operation is used in OLAP? (2) page 76

A typical OLAP query is to find the average amount of money drawn from ATM by those customers who are male, and of age between 15 and 25 years from (say) Jinnah Super Market Islamabad after 8 pm. For this kind of query there are no DML operations and the DBMS contents do not change.
