1. (a) In an environment in which several users share access to a single database, can one user ever block another’s access for an unlimited period of time? (This situation is called indefinite postponement.) (b) Describe a scenario in which two users could cause the indefinite postponement of each other. (c) Describe a scenario in which a single user could cause the indefinite postponement of all users.
2. Using the two-step commit presented in the beginning of this chapter, describe how to avoid assigning one seat to two people, as in the airline example. That is, list precisely which steps the database manager should follow in assigning passengers to seats.
3. Suppose a database manager were to allow nesting of one transaction inside another. That is, after having updated part of one record, the DBMS would allow you to select another record, update it, and then perform further updates on the first record. What effect would nesting have on the integrity of a database? Suggest a mechanism by which nesting could be allowed.
4. Can a database contain two identical records without a negative effect on the integrity of the database? Why or why not?
5. Some operating systems perform buffered I/O. In this scheme, an output request is accepted from a user and the user is informed of the normal I/O completion. However, the actual physical write operation is performed later, at a time convenient to the operating system. Discuss the effect of buffered I/O on integrity in a DBMS.
6. A database transaction implements the command “set STATUS to ‘CURRENT’ in all records where BALANCE-OWED = 0.” (a) Describe how that transaction would be performed with the two-step commit described in this chapter. (b) Suppose the relations from which that command was formed are (CUSTOMER-ID,STATUS) and (CUSTOMER-ID,BALANCE-OWED). How would the transaction be performed? (c) Suppose the relations from which that command was formed are (CUSTOMER-ID,STATUS), (CREDIT-ID,CUSTOMER-ID), (CREDIT-ID, BALANCE-OWED). How would the transaction be performed?
7. Show that if longitudinal parity is used as an error detection code, values in a database can still be modified without detection. (Longitudinal parity is computed for the nth bit of each byte; that is, one parity bit is computed and retained for all bits in the 0th position, another parity bit for all bits in the 1st position, etc.)
8. Suppose query Q1 obtains the median ml of a set S1 of values, and query Q2 obtains the median m2 of a subset S2 of S1. If m1 < m2, what can be inferred about S1, S2, and the elements of S1 not in S2?
9. One approach suggested to ensure privacy is the small result rejection, in which the system rejects (returns no result from) any query, the result of which is derived from a small number, for example, five, of records. Show how to obtain sensitive data by using only queries derived from six records.
10. Cite a situation in which the sensitivity of an aggregate is greater than that of its constituent values. Cite a situation in which the sensitivity of an aggregate is less than that of its constituent values.

Both Deliverables: Post in Discussion Board.
(1) Prepare a list of four (4) Back-up and Disaster Recovery vendors.
Provide a brief description of their services.
Create a grid of them and compare and contrast them.
(2) Disaster Recovery – AWS Outage
Disaster Recovery Preparedness
At 9:45 AM (PST) on February 28, 2017, Amazon reported a severe degradation with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Many companies and organizations rely on AWS for their infrastructure. As a result, the incident created a highly-deprecated experience for customers.
Many companies engineering teams worked through this outage and restored services using an alternate site.
Companies are continuously enhancing/improving their back-up and disaster recovery readiness. Organizations learned from this incident to mitigate the risks associated with large scale outages from their service providers.
Using Internet resources, research and answer the following questions using MS Word/PDF:
1. When did the AWS outage start and how long did it last?
2. What was the root-cause of the outage?
3. About how many sites were effected and what are some names of the larger companies?
4. When was the last time AWS was down prior to this incident and what was the root-cause?
5. Has AWS been down since this incident? If so, when, for how long, and what was the root-cause of the outage?
6. What can AWS do to prevent an outage again?
7. Briefly describe the AWS Shared Responsibility Model
8. What can a customer of AWS do to continue uninterrupted computer operations?
9. See this link on Barracuda Security for AWS: https://www.barracuda.com/programs/aws
If you were a customer of AWS, would you consider implementing Barracuda Security for AWS? What security features and why?
10. Prepare a high-level diagram of the AWS infrastructure and pinpoint in the diagram where the root-cause of the security vulnerability occurred.
