Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 2D
Explanation of Solution
The functional units of the computers are, central processing unit, main memory, secondary memory, input devices and output devices.
The central processing unit:
- The central processing unit is the principal part of the computer. The CPU performs almost every processing inside a computer.
- The CPU is consisting of main memory, control unit and arithmetic-logic unit. The CPU controls all the peripherals of the computer system and it controls the instructions and the data flow to and from all the parts of the computer.
- In modern computers the CPU is contained on an integrated circuit chip called a microprocessor.
- The CPU has two components:
- Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): this part of the CPU handles arithmetic and logic operations.
- Control Unit: this part of the computer extracts the instructions from the memory and executes them.
Main memory:
The physical memory that internal to the computer system is called as the main memory. The word “main” is used to differentiate the memory from secondary storages like hard disk drive, read-only memory and so on.
- The main memory is also called a Random Access Memory (RAM) or primary memory.
- The main memory stores all the information that the computer currently working on.
- The main memory loads with all the files used to execute a
program on the computer. The main memory determines how many programs can be executed at a time...

A new application is being developed and will be using a database that includes a relation about items: Item (item_id:integer, item_name:string, color:string, price:real).
Both the purchasing department in charge of obtaining raw material and the manufacturing department in charge of manufacturing the items can change the price of manufactured items according to changes that may happen in the raw material cost or production cost. The two departments use different transactions to update the price of items. The new application uses the following sequences of actions, listed in the order they are submitted to the DBMS:
Sequence S1: T1:R(X), T2:W(X), T2:W(Y), T3:W(Y), T1:W(Y), T1:Commit, T2:Commit, T3:Commit
Sequence S2: T1:R(X), T2:W(Y), T2:W(X), T3:W(Y), T1:W(Y), T1:Commit, T2:Commit, T3:Commit
For each of the following concurrency control mechanisms, describe how they will handle each of the sequences (S1 & S2).

As a database administrator of a large manufacturing organization, you are in charge of their website database that handles suppliers, parts, catalog, customers, and payments of delivered items. The following relations are part of the large database:
Supplier(SID, Sname, Saddress, Stelephone)Customer(CID, Cname, Caddress, Ctelephone)Part(PID, Pname, Pmodel, Pcolor)Catalog(SID, PID, Price)
(The Catalog relation lists the prices charged for parts by Suppliers).
Because the application is web-based and the database is accessed by many users, you want to increase the concurrency usage without compromising the data quality. For each of the following transactions, state the minimum SQL isolation level you would use in order to avoid any conflict problems in them. Please explain your choice.
A transaction that adds a new part to a supplier’s catalog.
A transaction that increases the price that a supplier charges for a part.
A transaction that determines the total number of items for a given…

- (Dynamic Programming.) Recall the problem presented in Assign- ment 3 where given a list L of n ordered integers you're tasked with removing m of them such that the distance between the closest two remaining integers is maxi- mized. See Assignment 1 for further clarification and examples. As it turns out there is no (known) greedy algorithm to solve this problem. However, there is a dynamic programming solution. Devise a dynamic programming solution which determines the maximum distance between the closest two points after removing m numbers. Note, it doesn't need to return the resulting list itself. Hint 1: Your sub-problems should be of the form S(i, j), where S(i, j) returns the maximum distance of the closest two numbers when only considering removing j of the first i numbers in L. As an example if L [3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15], then S(4, 1) = 2, since the closest two values of L' = [3,4,6,8] are 6 and 8 after removing 4 (note, 8-6 = = 2). = Hint 2: For the sub-problem S(i, j),…arrow_forward(Dynamic Programming.)

If the server instead sends the audio and video streams separately and has the client synchronize the streams, how many files will the server need to store?arrow_forward
