Match the following database terms to their functions :

\(\begin{array} {clcl} & \textbf{List – I} && \textbf{List – II} \\ \text{(a)} & \text{Normalization} & \text{(i)} & \text{Enforces match of primary key}\\ &&& \text{to foreign key} \\ \text{(b)} & \text{Data Dictionary} &\text{(ii)}& \text{Reduces data redundancy in} \\ &&& \text{a database} \\ \text{(c)} & \text{Referential Integrity} & \text{(iii)} & \text{Defines view(s) of the database for } \\ && & \text{particular user(s)} \\ \text{(d)} & \text{External Schema} & \text{(iv)} & \text{Contains metadata describing} \\ &&& \text{database structure} \\ \end{array}\)

Codes :

  1. A.

    (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

  2. B.

    (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)

  3. C.

    (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i)

  4. D.

    (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Correct matches and explanations:

  • Normalization → Reduces data redundancy in a database.

  • Data Dictionary → Contains metadata describing the database structure.

  • Referential Integrity → Enforces matching between primary key and corresponding foreign key to preserve relationships.

  • External Schema → Defines view(s) of the database for particular user(s).

Thus the correct matching is: Normalization → reduces data redundancy; Data Dictionary → contains metadata; Referential Integrity → enforces primary-foreign key match; External Schema → defines user views.
