Question 1: XYZ Company is a Car production company. It has four factories and many distribution outlets spread across the country. The company keeps online records of the sales of its cars. It also creates batched Production schedules on the basis of the sales of the car. The car production is done at a nearest factory so that the cost of transfer of cars to distribution centre is minimized. Each factory also maintains its inventory. The company maintains a distributed database management system keeping all the above information. The following information may be stored in the Distribution and Inventory Management System of the Company: (Please note that the following description may lead to un-normalized relations, normalize them wherever required. You may also add more tables as per your analysis.)

Data store Name : Distribution Outlets
Description : It includes outlet code, outlet name, outlet address, list of car models, sales made for each model etc.

Data store Name : Factory
Description : It may be keeping information about each car inventory items (Model wise). It includes item code, item name, model in which this item is used, quantity used in a single Car unit, and quantity in stock, time taken to produce a batch of 100 cars, etc. This information is stored factory wise. Each factory will have separate minimum stock and reorder level based on its capacity.

Data store Name : Batched Order
Description : It includes details on overall sales of Cars at various outlets, all such sales are put together to generate a consolidated orders for factories. On the basis of such orders the factories make Cars.

Assume that only following two applications exists:

(a) Keeping track of status of Inventory so that the delays in production of Cars can be minimised. Proper reorder levels should be kept so that a given order of cars is completed with full assembly load in desired time.

(b) It evaluates the performance of each distribution outlet of the Company.
Design a distributed database assuming that at present the company has only 10 outlets. Also assume statistics, which justifies your design.

Your design should include:

(i) The global schema, fragmentation schema and allocation schema.
(ii) SQL commands/ application code for above queries/applications.
(iii) How the response for application 1 and 2 will be generated? Assuming these are global queries, explain how various fragments will be combined to generate the query response.

(iv) Implement the database at least using a centralized database management system (make suitable adjustments in your design).

I have a HW problem stated as shown at the top of the solution. The thing is is that I am not 100% sure wtf constant memory means. Well, I think I do but I am confused. Does my solution use contant memory in terms of the length of the list i? If so why not and how could I change it to be so? I am sure the solution is O(n) since the list must only iterated once and the dictionary is O(1), correct? Thanks for the help!! #You are given a...

Folks, I am confused as to how to implement the following solution. I have a series of processing steps, each of which contains similar features (forms, etc). Therefore, I create a base class, Step, and subclass from that for specific steps. The Step class has a method, Execute(), which can return either Success or Failure. I have a Step Driver, which instantiates the first Step, calls its Execute()

I have a situation where I want to send data, but I have no need for a response. It seems to me that XMLHTTPRequest is the best way to send the data, but I don't need any response back from the server. Basically, I'm writing js errors to an error log on the server side - and there is no need to inform the user that the error has been logged. The problem is that I don't want to sit with the request open & waiting for a response, when I...

I've done this a few times. In a solution I have a project, Say P1, and need another project that will contain much code that is similar to that of P1. I hope no one gets hung up on why I don't somehow share the code. So, I copy the folder P1 is in, change the new folder name, and is VS2005 to change all occurrences of P1's name tp P2's name.

I have some code that loads up some php/html files and does a few things to them and ultimately returns an html file with some php code in it. I then pass that file onto the user by using echo. Of course then the file doesn't get seen by the user. Is there any command that essentially executes the code and then echo's it? something that will take a string like '<body>blah<?php echo 'Hello'; ?></body>' and actually interpret the php

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
