Assignment – 3 (Database Backup and Recovery)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Q-1. Explain the Following Questions in detail.

1). What is Database Backup? Why backup is needed? Explain Types of Database Backup?

2). Discuss different types of database failures that may occur in database environment?

3). What is Recovery? Explain types of Recovery? (Forward and Backward Recovery)

4). What is Log Based Recovery? Explain all Log based Recovery technique with Example?

5). What is Checkpoint? How is checkpoint information is used in recovery operation following System crash explain with example?

6). Describe Shadow Paging Recovery Technique? Under what circumstances does it 
not require a transaction log? List advantages and disadvantage of shadow paging?

7). What is Database Buffer? Explain Buffer Management technique used in database recovery?

8). Table : Transaction T1

Time shot	Transaction Step	Actions
Time-1	Read (A,a1)	Read current employee’s load balance.
Time-2	a1:= a1 – 500	Debit the Account by INR 500
Time-3	Write(A,a1)	Write the new loan balance
Time-4	Read (B,b1)	Read the current account payable balance
Time-5	b1 := b1 + 500	Credit the account balance by INR 500
Time-6	Write(B,b1)	Write the new balance
Time-7	Commit T1	Commit entire transaction

Consider the transaction as above Table to create log entries for immediate updates. Suppose, that a failure occurs just after the transaction log record for action Write(B,b1) has been Written.

a). Show the Contents of transaction log at the time of failure.

b). What action is necessary and Why?

c). What are the Resulting value of A and B?

9). Consider the transaction as above Table to create log entries for deferred updates. Suppose, that a failure occurs just after the record is written to the transaction log?

a). Show the Contents of transaction log at the time of failure.

b). What action is necessary and Why?

c). What are the Resulting value of A and B?

10).  Consider the following Transaction Step for Immediate Update Technique. 
Initial Value of A=1000, B=2000 and C=700.

         

Transaction Step	Actions
Begin Transaction T1	Start Transaction T1
Read (A)	Read Value A
A:= A – 50	Deduct 50 from A
Write(A)	Write the new value of A
Read (B)	Read the Value of B
B := B + 50	Add 50 to B
Write(B)	Write the new value of B
End Transaction	Commit entire transaction T1
Begin Transaction T2	Start Transaction T2
Read (C)	Read Value of C
C:=C-100	Deduct 100 from C
Write (C)	Write the new value for C
End Transaction T2	Commit Entrire transaction T2

• Create Log entries for Above transaction steps.
• Let us Assume that the crash occurs just after the log record for step write(B) of transaction T1 then
• What action is necessary and why?
• What are the resulting value of A and B
• Let us Assume that Crash comes just after the log record for the Wrtite(C) of Transaction T2 then
• What action is necessary and Why?
• What are the resulting value of A and B?
• Finally, Let us Assume that Crash occurs just after the log record for Transaction T2,Commit
• What action is necessary and Why?
• What are the resulting value of A and B?  

11). Consider the following log entries.

Log Entries

T1,Start

T1,A,5000,4500

T1,Commit

Checkpoint

T2,Start

T2,B,1000,1050

T2,C,4000,3900

T2,Commit

T3,Start

T3,D,2500,2000

T4,Start

T4,E,1000,1200

T4,F,1200,1400

Suppose, that system crash is occurs after the last write entry of F of transaction T4 
then What action is necessary and why?        

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Q-2. Differentiate the following :

1). Deferred Update Vs Immediate Update

2). Rollforward Vs Rollback

3). Stable Storage Vs Disk

4). Volatile Storage Vs Non-Volatile Storage

5). System Crash Vs Media Failure

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q-3. Answer the following in One line?

1) If the buffer pool is large enough that uncommited data are never forced to disk, is UNDO still necessary?

2) How about REDO?

3) If updates are always forced to disk when a transaction is performed, is UNDO still necessary?

4) How about REDO?

5) After a soft crash, where in the log should Analysis start?
