Exam: Database Systems (INFO20003_2023_SM1)

Section 1: Relational Database Modelling + Implementation (25 Marks)

Question 1

Data Types

Select the most appropriate MySQL data types for the following pieces of information:

(Please make sure you read all options available to select the most correct!)

Auto-incremented primary key of table ‘Movies’ (movie_id: the theatre offers thousands of movies over time)

Number of family members on a family ticket

Does a ticket type include a complementary popcorn?

The customer’s 4 digit long Australian postcode

Total revenue the movie theatre made (including fractions of a dollar)

Movie ticket type (1 of 4 different choices: ‘children, ‘adults’, ‘concession’, ‘vip’)

Video trailer of the movie

Date of birth of a customer

Time and date that a customer purchased a movie ticket to print on a receipt

Name of a customer for ticket booking

Question 2

ER MODELLING

Bridgman Images manages copyright on behalf of many art galleries, museums, and libraries (“copyright owners”). Customer organisations that wish to use a copyrighted image created by an artist can pay a fee to Bridgman Images who will then provide a high-quality image for reproduction.

Bridgman Images needs to know which copyright owners have owned the copyright for an image since the artwork was created, the dates the ownership started and ended, and the fee paid for the copyright (e.g., “copyright owner: National Gallery of Victoria; from: 01/01/2016; to: 01/01/2018; fee: 10,000”). Each artwork may have been owned by many copyright owners, and at any one time multiple copyright owners may own the copyright for the one image.

About each copyright owner we need to know its unique organisation name, address, and phone numbers of the organisation. About the artist we store their first name, last name, birth year, and death year (e.g., Paolo Veronese, born 1528, died 1588). About each artwork we store its unique title (e.g., “The Wedding Scene at Cana”), type of artwork (e.g., painting), and the height and width in centimetres of the original artwork (e.g., H: 30.6cm W: 41.9cm). An artist produces many artworks, but each individual artwork in the Bridgman Images database is created by one artist.

The following ER model is a student’s attempt to model Bridgman Images. Identify all mistakes in the model that do not support this case study and describe what needs to be done to correct those mistakes. (E.g., Issue #1: a wrong relationship cardinality between entities X and Y. Fix #1: Replace the relationship from one to many on the X entity side.)

Question 3

DDL

In a particular education system, teachers regularly undergo a “performance review”. They are given an integer rating on their teaching quality and professional skills.

Write SQL statements to create the tables for the data model. Be sure to specify primary and foreign keys. You do not need to specify whether the fields are NULL / NOT NULL. Where the data type is not obvious, feel free to choose an appropriate data type.

Section 2: SQL & RA (24 Marks)

SQL Intro

Note: Do not use Views or Variables to answer these questions (same as with assignment 2).

The following data model and the description are the same as Assignment 2.

You and a group of fellow undergrads have created a start-up like Google Scholar called ‘newScholar’. newScholar is a free accessible web search engine that provides a broad range of information on scholarly publications. It also provides information on researchers and relations among scholarly publications and researchers.

For each researcher, newScholar records the researcher’s details such as first name, last name, and one email address. Each researcher can also be associated with a few keywords representing their ‘research area’, such as Databases, Machine learning, Psychology, Medicine, etc. For each researcher, newScholar maintains their list of publications. The researchers who author a publication together are called ‘co-authors’.

For each publication, newScholar stores its title, date of publication, start page number (e.g., 475), end page number (e.g., 500), and a list of authors (there can be multiple authors of a publication, where each author is a researcher). Each publication can also be associated with a few keywords representing its ‘research area’, such as Databases, Machine learning, Psychology, Medicine, etc. NewScholar database will not store the actual publications, but rather a link to the document objects. Each publication is linked to one document object. For each document object, newScholar stores the URL link and the document size in KB. Each publication has a list of references (i.e., it “cites” other publications), where each reference is another publication. If publication A is in the reference list of another publication B, then A is “cited by” B. Figure 1 shows an example publication with its basic information and its list of references.

NewScholar manually curates a list of top 10 publications every fortnight depending on the number of citations of the publications. A publication can make it to top 10 more than once over time. For each paper that is in the top 10 for a particular fortnight at a particular position, newScholar keeps a record of the start date when a publication reached that position (beginning of the fortnight) and end date (end of the fortnight). If a publication is again in the next fortnight’s top 10 (whether in the same position, or different), a new row is recorded, with the start/end dates being the start/end dates of this new fortnight. For example, the publication entitled “Learning to index” can be number 1 for the fortnight from January 1st - January 14th, 2022 but the rank drops to number 3 from January 15th - January 28th, 2022. This would result in 2x rows, one with position 1 and one with position 3. Note that we do not need to know the rationale why this is the current ranking.

Question 4

SQL Q1

Find the title and URL of publications that have been featured at least once in the top ten list. Return as (title, documentUrl).

Question 5

SQL Q2

List keywords which have been included in at least 3 publications that were published on or after 01/01/2023. Return as (word, numPublications).

Question 6

SQL Q3

Find publications that were co-authored by at least one researcher in the ‘Databases’ area. The publications also must not reference a publication that is ten pages or longer. Return as (title, documentUrl).

Question 7

SQL Q4

A researcher is said to have co-authored an “expert publication” if the researcher and the publication share at least one common keyword. An “expert publication” is relative to the researcher: a publication that is an expert publication for one researcher might not be an expert publication for another researcher that also co-authored it (because the second researcher doesn’t have any keywords in common with the publication). For each researcher, count how many of the publications they have co-authored are expert publications relative to them. If a researcher has no expert publications, return their count as zero. Return as (researcherId, numExpertPublications). Below are some example cases to help you:

Researcher’s keywords           Publication’s keywords Expert publication?

Databases, Machine Learning      Databases                               Yes. At least one keyword (Databases) is in common.

Databases, Machine                   Databases, Machine            Yes. At least one keyword (Databases and Machine Learning) is in common.

Learning                                   Learning

Databases, Machine Learning      Algorithms                      No. There are no keywords in common.

(no keywords)                             (no keywords)            No. The researcher and publication have no keywords so there are no keywords in common.

Section 3: Query Processing and Optimisation (27 Marks)

Single Relation Plan Intro

Consider a relation called Movies that stores information about the movies available to watch in Netflix. Imagine that the relation Movies consists of 1000 data pages and each page stores 100 tuples. Imagine that the duration of a movie can be any integer number between 0 to 500 minutes [0, 500] and the year of a movie can be any year between 1920 to 2020, that is, (1920, 2020]. Suppose that the following SQL query is executed frequently using the given relation:

SELECT MovieName

FROM Movies

WHERE duration < 250 AND year = 2000;

Question 10

Single Relation Plan A

Compute the estimated result size for the query, and the reduction factor of each filter.

RF(duration)

RF(year)

Result Size

Question 11

Single Relation Plan B

Compute the estimated cost of plan alternatives, assuming that a clustered B+ tree index on (duration) is (the only index) available. Suppose there are 100 index pages.

Give the lowest (estimated) cost in I/Os after considering all access methods available.

Enter the number as numeric (e.g. 20).

550

Question 12

Single Relation Plan C

What would happen if our query changed and became:

SELECT MovieName

FROM Movies

WHERE duration > 25 AND year = 2000;

Assuming that the clustered B+ tree index on duration from the previous question is the only index available, would the cost of the best plan change?

Yes, because the RF value will change leading to an expensive index scan

No, eventually the result size will stay same

No, the best plan is still the same.

Multi-relation Introduction

Consider two relations called Movies and Actors. Imagine that the relation Movies has 1000 pages and the relation Actors has 50 pages.

Consider the following SQL statement:

SELECT *

FROM Movies INNER JOIN Actors

ON Movies.MovieID = Actors.MovieID

WHERE Actors.country = ‘Australia’;

The following information is also available:

There are 12 buffer pages available in memory.

Both relations are stored as simple heap files.

Neither relation has any indexes built on it.

Consider Actors as the outer relation in all alternatives.

Assume that sorting can be performed in two passes for both relations. All selections are performed on-the-fly after the join.

Evaluate Nested Loops Join, Block-oriented Nested Loop Join, Sort Merge Join, and Hash Join using the number of disk I/Os as the cost.

Question 13

Multi Relation Plan A

Page-oriented Nested Loop Join (cost in I/Os). Enter the number as numeric (e.g. 20).

50,050

Question 14

Multi Relation Plan B

BLOCK-oriented Nested Loop Join (cost in I/Os). Enter the number as numeric (e.g. 20).

5,050

Question 15

Multi Relation Plan C

Sort-Merge join (cost in I/Os). Enter the number as numeric (e.g. 20).

5,250

Question 16

Multi Relation Plan D

Hash Join (cost in I/Os). Enter the number as numeric (e.g. 20).

3,150

Query Optimisation Introduction

Consider the following relational schema and SQL query. The schema captures information about shows, performances and the theatres where the shows have taken place.

Performance (PerformanceID (PK), name, genre, releasedate, duration, budget) Show (ShowID (PK), dateofShow, PerformanceID (FK), TheatreID (FK), attendance, revenu e) Theatre (TheatreID (PK), name, city, capacity)

Consider the following query:

SELECT *

FROM Performance AS P, Show AS S, Theatre AS T

WHERE P.PerformanceID = S.PerformanceID

AND S.TheatreID = T.TheatreID

AND S.revenue < ‘60,000’ AND P.genre = ‘Musical’;

The system’s statistics indicate that there are 10 different genres, and revenue ranges from 0 to 100,000 ([0,100,000]).

There is a total of 5000 performances, 60,000 shows and 1000 theatres in the database. For performances, shows, and theatre relations, 10 tuples fit in a page. Suppose there exists a clustered B+ tree index on Show.revenue of size 10 pages.

Compute the cost of the plans shown below.

Assume that sorting of any relation (if required) can be done in 2 passes.

NLJ is a Page-oriented Nested Loops Join.

Assume that 10 tuples of a resulting join between Performance and Show fit in a page. Similarly, 10 tuples of a resulting join between Show and Theatre fit in a page.

If selection over filtering predicates is not marked in the plan, assume it will happen on-the-fly after all joins are performed, as the last operation in the plan.

Question 17

Query Optimisation Plan 1

Compute the following results for the below Plan 1:

1. The result size of the child join in pages (marked as 'A' in the diagram)

2. The cost of the child join in I/Os (marked as 'B' in the diagram). Consider 'Performance' as the outer.

3. The cost of the parent join in I/Os (marked as 'C' in the diagram)

ResultSize of child join in PAGES (marked A in diagram)

Question 18

Query Optimisation Plan 2

Compute the following results for the below Plan 2:

1. The result size of the selection on revenue in pages (marked as 'A' in the diagram)

2. The result size of the child join in pages (marked as 'B' in the diagram)

3. The cost of the selection on revenue in I/Os (note this also accounts for the index access cost as well) (marked as 'C' in the diagram)

4. The cost of the child join in I/Os (marked as 'D' in the diagram)

5. The cost of the parent join in I/Os (marked as 'E' in the diagram)

The cost of the parent join in I/Os (marked as 'E' in the diagram)

The result size of the selection on revenue in PAGES (marked as 'A' in the diagram)

The result size of the child join in PAGES (marked as 'B' in the diagram)

The cost of the selection on revenue in I/Os (note this also accounts for the index access cost as well) (marked as 'C' in the diagram)

The cost of the child join in I/Os (marked as 'D' in the diagram)

The cost of the parent join in I/Os (marked as 'E' in the diagram)

Section 4: Normalisation (10 marks)

Normalisation Intro

The table below contains a list of codes of conduct violations by students and the fines imposed in the Harry Potter College:

StudentTicket (studentID, LastName, FirstName, PhoneNo, Ticket, Date, Code, Fine)

studentID       LastName          FirstName          PhoneNo        Ticket       Date          Code         Fine

The pair (Ticket, studentID) is the candidate key for this relation. The following functional dependencies hold for this relation:

studentID -> LastName, FirstName, PhoneNo

Ticket -> Date, Code, Fine

Code -> Fine

Question 19

Normalisation A

In what normal form. is the 'StudentTicket' table?

1st Normal Form.

2nd Normal Form.

3rd Normal Form.

Not in any normal form.

Question 20

Normalisation B

Could any anomalies arise in the 'StudentTicket' relation above? If yes, discuss which anomalies and problems may occur, and provide an example for each of them.

Question 21

Normalisation C

Normalize the 'StudentTicket' relation to 3rd Normal Form. (3NF). For each step explicitly identify which normal form. is violated and briefly explain why. Write the normalised tables in a textual format. Here's an example step:

...

Table x not in 2nd NF because of y. Normalised to 2nd NF is:

RelationName (id(PK), Column, ForeignKeyColumn(FK))

AnotherRelation (id(PK), Column, AnotherColumn(PFK))

...
