Variable length records If different records in the file have different sizes, the file is said to be made up of variable length records. The variable length field is a field whose maximum allowed length would be specified. When the actual length of the value is less than the maximum length, the field will take only the required space. In the case of fixed length fields, even if the actual value is less than the specified length, the remaining length will be filled with spaces of null values.

MI0034 DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Dear students to get solved assignments of SMU MBA SPRING 2015 call us at 8510092683 or mail us at [email protected]. Write short notes on:

a. Latency and seek

Answer: Latency is the time delay that exists between the moment that read/write command is initiated over the physical interface of the drive and the moment where the desired information is placed.

b. RAID

Answer: RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. In order to balance the I/O load you have to equate the database files across all the disk drives. Therefore, maintaining of individual disk drives in large number is cumbersome. For the sake of simplification of this task, RAID was introduced. c. Blu-ray Disk drive

Blu-ray Disk (BD) is the advanced version of DVD which is made out of smaller pits and lands. Single-layer BD can store about more than five times the DVD capacity (almost 25 billion bytes) and double-layer BD can store up to 50 billion bytes. It is so named because it uses blue-violet laser light to read or write the data from the disk. d. Variable length records

If different records in the file have different sizes, the file is said to be made up of variable length records. The variable length field is a field whose maximum allowed length would be specified. When the actual length of the value is less than the maximum length, the field will take only the required space. In the case of fixed length fields, even if the actual value is less than the specified length, the remaining length will be filled with spaces of null values.
