What are the benefits of a systems analysis in a corporation?
A system Analyst analyzes the internal systems (software) and the businesses stated needs for functionality. From there an Analyst can research applications that are available in the marketplace or put together a requirements document indicating, in detail, the business needs for a solution which will become a scope of work should the organization have internal programming resources or outsource options. This may include a hybrid solution where a ready made application is acquired with the preplanned notion of customizing the application suite. Gathering requirements for an organization and researching the path to be taken to effect this requirement is a very important role within an IT reliant organization. This process, performed properly, not only saves the company money up front but insures that the right application path is being taken the first time, growth and business change considerations have been accounted for to accommodate future plans, and errors are kept to a minimum thereby mitigating future IT overhaul requirements.
If I understand your question you are asking what a JOB is in say Sql Server 2000? A job, or the job component in SQL server is basically an engine that allows you to schedule objects to fire. As an example lets say you have a stored procedure that is setup to retrieve data from a table or set of tables, analyze it and split this data off into new tables, perhaps with additional information added, and maybe even delete some of the records that fit within certain rules. That said now you don't want to have to go and execute (run) this stored procedure on your own, manually; do you? Now you can setup a job that you will assign a schedule to (ie: Run every few minutes, every hour, once a day, whatever you want). And in this JOB or schedule you will attach this stored procedure. The SQL engine looks at the scheduled jobs, compares the last run time with when it is set to run again and then fires off whatever is associated with the job; in this example our stored procedure.
What are Problems of manual systems?
Accuracy, Ability to reliably update data and take action on trigger events Time it takes to manage the data time it takes to retrieve the data, make updates, ect. Ability to share the data. and the time it takes to share the data. As an example someone in another office needs to know something about a customer. Now they would need to call you, wastes everybodies time. The person should be able to lookup the data in the amount of time it takes to dial the phone.
What are the Advantages of computer aided color matching?
Exactness. A computer is going to be more accurate than a human trying to match by eye.
What is Intersect operator in dbms?
INTERSECT operator allows you to combine two table expressions into one and return a result set which consists of rows that appear in the results of both table expressions. INTERSECT operator, like UNION operator, removes all duplicated row from the result sets. Unlike the UNION operator, INTERSECT operator operates as AND operator on tables expression. It means data row appears in both table expression will be combined in the result set while UNION operator operates as OR operator (data row appear in one table expression or both will be combined into the result set). The syntax of using INTERSECT operator is like UNION as follows:
When is the concept of weak entity used in data modelling?
A weak entity can be identified uniquely only by considering the primary key of another (owner) entity.
Difference between relation and relational schema?
In database design a RELATION is the relationship that you build between two or more tables.
As an example lets say you have a Customer table. In this table you have lots of fields
FirstName, LastName, Address, City, State, PostalCode, StatusID; etc.......
Now StatusID is going to be a numeric value. Lets say that the value is 1
Now you will have a Status Table with multiple fields (ex)
StatusID, StatusName, Active, etc.....
Now when you display customer information you will not want to show a StatusID as nobody will know what this is. You will want to show the NAME associated with the status. To do this you will create a releationship between StatusID in the Customer table and StatusID in the Status table. In doing so you will provide for faster lookup results, a constraint that does not permit a numeric value in the StatusID field in the customer table that is NOT in the StatusID field of the Status table.
THEN... To show correct Results you would write a query something like:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Address, City, State, PostalCode, StatusName
FROM Customers as c
JOIN Status as s on s.StatusID = c.StatusID
A relational Schema is simply a representation of your database highlighting the relationships that you have created throughout.
There are two kinds of databases. RDBMS and DBMS. Anything which stores data in rows and columns can be called as a database. Even a text file can be a database if it contains data in this format. XML files also can be treated as database. We can query a database using SQL (Structured Query Language) to extract information from a database. This data can be manipulated in different ways to generate reports or use in your software.
Explain differetn types of views in dbms?
Hi .....
Basically there are are two Views regarding to DBMS.
(1)Regression based Views
(2) Interpolation based Views
Regression based Views:
Regression techniques are routinely and very successfully
used in many application domains to model the values of a
continuous dependent variable as a function of the values of
a set of independent or predictor variables. These models are
thus a natural fit in many environmental monitoring applications
that use sensor networks to monitor physical properties
such as temperature, humidity, light etcWe describe a second type of view in this section, the interpolation
view. In an interpolation view an interpolation function is used to estimate the missing values from known
values that bracket the missing value. The process is similar
to table lookup: given a table T of tuples of the form
(T, V ), and a set of T0 values with unknown V 0 values, we
can estimate the v0 2 V 0 value that corresponds to a particular
t0 2 T0 by looking up two pairs (t1, v1) and (t2, v2)
in T such that t1 _ t0 _ t2. We then use the interpolation
function to compute the value v0 from v1 and v2..An entity is something that exists by itself, although it need not be of material existence.
What are the advantages of a warehouse?
Data warehouse is the pool of huge amount of data. The data in data ware house can be archived. And when the data is needed you can extract it from the archived files.
Entity relationship diagram for railway reservation system?
Oh, what a lovely thought! Imagine the railways as a beautiful landscape painting. In the center, you have entities like 'Passenger,' 'Train,' and 'Reservation.' Connect them with lines showing relationships, like 'Passenger books Reservation,' and 'Train has Reservation.' Just like painting a happy little tree, let your diagram flow with harmony and clarity. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents.
How do companies use databases?
Companies use databases for a myriad purposes:
Accounting
Payroll
Time Sheets
Asset Management
Human Resources
Security
And many more purposes, depending on the organization's use of technology.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of network database model?
Network Database model was designed to solve some of Hierarchical Database Model. Specifically this solves the problem of data redundancy by representing relationships in terms of sets.

DISADVANTAGES
ER Diagram for a medical store system?
medical store system is the system in which the medicals are arranged in manner that they are kept differen recks for the different categories
What are the advantages and disadvantages of network data model?
Network data model is just like a normal database model. In network model the data is seen as related to each other by links. Or we can say the relation between the data is represented by links.
Functions of database management systems?
Applications of interfaces to the DBMS are created, allowing users to manage and gain access to data within the database. Connolly & Begg (2001, pp 4) state 'a database application is simply a program that interacts with the database at some point in its execution'.
Interfaces of a DBMS provides functionality with the ability to add, delete, update and retrieve data, process data to complete tasks, produce reports and manage data.
