...Answers to Review Questions 1. What is the difference between a database and a table? A table, a logical structure that represents an entity set, is only one of the components of a database. The database is a structure that houses one or more tables and metadata. The metadata are data about data. Metadata include the data (attribute) characteristics and the relationships between the entity sets. 2. What does a database expert mean when (s)he observes that a database displays both entity integrity and referential integrity? Entity integrity describes a condition in which all tuples within a table are uniquely identified by their primary key. The unique value requirement prohibits a null primary key value, because nulls are not unique. Referential integrity describes a condition in which a foreign key value has a match in the corresponding table or in which the foreign key value is null. The null foreign key value makes it possible not to have a corresponding value, but the matching requirement on values that are not null makes it impossible to have an invalid value. 3. Why are entity integrity and referential integrity important in a database? Entity integrity is important, because it means that a proper search for an existing tuple (row) will always be successful. And the failure to find a match on a row search will always mean that the row for which the search is conducted does not exist in that table. Referential integrity is important, because its existence...

...ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS 1 1. Discuss each of the following terms: a. Data: Raw facts from which the required information is derived. Data have little meaning unless they are grouped in a logical manner. b. Field: A character or a group of characters (numeric or alphanumeric) that describes a specific characteristic. A field may define a telephone number, a date, or other specific characteristics that the end user wants to keep track of. c. Record: A logically connected set of one or more fields that describes a person, place, event, or thing. For example, a CUSTOMER record may be composed of the fields CUST_NUMBER, CUST_LNAME, CUST_FNAME, CUST_INITIAL, CUST_ADDRESS, CUST_CITY, CUST_STATE, CUST_ZIPCODE, CUST_AREACODE, and CUST_PHONE. d. File: Historically, a collection of file folders, properly tagged and kept in a filing cabinet. Although such manual files still exist, we more commonly think of a (computer) file as a collection of related records that contain information of interest to the end user. For example, a sales organization is likely to keep a file containing customer data. Keep in mind that the phrase related records reflects a relationship based on function. For example, customer data are kept in a file named CUSTOMER. The records in this customer file are related by the fact that they all pertain to customers. Similarly, a file named PRODUCT would contain records that describe products – the records in this file are all related by the fact that they...

...Mankin: Human Resource Development, Chapter 3 Answers to the end of chapter review questions 1. Explain the difference between vertical and horizontal alignment. Vertical strategic alignment (also termed vertical integration and external fit) is the process by which the HRD strategy, policies and plans are aligned with an organisation’s strategic goals and objectives. HRD interventions and initiatives are designed to support the organisation’s business strategy and strategic objectives. For instance, designing and implementing change management training to support a merger or acquisition strategy. In horizontal alignment (also termed horizontal integration or internal fit) the HRD function ensures that the HRD strategy, policies, plans and practices are consistent with the HRM strategy, policies, plans and practices. For instance, ensuring the set of competencies underpinning a management development programme is the same as that used for recruitment and selection. However, horizontal alignment goes beyond ensuring consistency between HRD and HRM. There is a need for a wider horizontal integration of organisational processes and activities: operational integration, intellectual integration, social integration and emotional integration (Ghosal & Gratton, 2005). 2. Summarise the key challenges facing the HRD practitioner in developing a strategic approach to HRD. Changing organisational culture is probably the biggest challenge confronting HRD practitioners.
